A bedroom is primarily designed for rest, and the good news is that you don’t require an abundance of space or belongings to achieve that. Challenges arise when we expect our bedrooms to serve as both a home office, personal fitness area, and storage space for clothes. If your bedroom is starting to feel a bit tight, one thing to consider is whether you are attempting to use it for multiple purposes. In promoting a sense of tranquility, simplicity is indeed key. Discover ways to maximize your room’s potential and design a tranquil environment without overspending.
PUT THE BED TO WORK, IF YOU CAN
Certainly, a bed serves the purpose of sleeping however, it occupies a significant amount of space in a compact room. I have a strong preference for storage beds and wall beds (also known as murphy beds) – I’ve had the pleasure of using both types in different homes. However, I won’t insist on you rushing out to purchase a new bed. I suggest you consider a strategic approach to maximizing the space within your current bed. Have you thought about adding drawers or storage bags underneath? If not, perhaps raising the bed on risers could create additional storage space.
KINDLY RECONSIDER YOUR CURRENT ARRANGEMENT
There could be other potential furniture arrangements to consider aside from your current one. You have the option to split the room in half to create distinct sleeping and dressing areas, using the dresser drawers as a partition. Although it might appear counterintuitive to segment a small room, the absence of a wall for placing a dresser actually resulted in a layout that provided significantly more functional space.
PLEASE GIVE THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION TO YOUR CHOICE OF BEDDING
In a cozy little bedroom, the bed takes up the most space, influencing the overall look and feel of the room significantly with your choice of bedding. Light and crisp plain white linens create an airy and fresh atmosphere, while introducing a bold pattern such as a Marimekko print instantly adds a distinctive perspective to a room. If storing linen feels like a hassle, simplify by keeping only two sets of sheets for each bed: one to use and one spare set. Even better if the two complement each other, allowing you to interchange the sets to create additional styling possibilities.
