Your bedroom is your own space, the perfect spot for you to settle into for relaxation and a good night’s sleep. As your private oasis, it should be the room you look forward to coming home to, not a space that makes you feel confined. If your bedroom is on the smaller end, there are some steps you can take to make it feel bigger. Transform your room and enjoy a more open concept area with these 5 space saving ideas for your bedroom.
Tuck Your Bed Away
Your bed is usually the biggest piece of furniture, taking up the most space in your bedroom. If placed in the wrong area, it can make the room seem small and cluttered; especially in a confined space! Save some room and find a corner or a small nook to tuck your bed into. Taking this step will open up the center of the room, making it seem larger.
Be Innovative About Storage Spaces
Storage in a smaller bedroom can be simple if you are innovative and creative. Spaces like the inside of your closet door and the space under your bed provide the perfect solution for storing your belongings out of sight. Taking advantage of these storage spaces will open up your room, making it feel bigger and less cluttered.
Use Wall Mounted Furniture
A simple and efficient way to open up floor space in your apartment is the use of wall mounted furniture. A mounted shelf for a bedside table or a floating desk takes up less floor space, making the room feel bigger and more open.
Use a Daybed
A daybed is the perfect solution to make your bedroom feel more spacious. Not only does it take up very little space, it also provides an extra seating area during the day that will make a nice spot to relax and cozy up with your favourite book or magazine. Using a daybed will allow you to enjoy your room more during the day, making it a space that is for more than just sleeping.
Make Use of Wall Space
The walls of your apartment provide a large, untapped space that is perfect for shelving meant to hold all of your important belongings. Instead of using a bookshelf, which takes up a lot of floor space, install floating shelves on the largest wall of your bedroom. Using this wall space is practical and will add a chic decor element to the room.
Making more space in your bedroom is simple if you plan ahead and rethink your storage, furniture, and layout. By following these 5 tips you will be well on your way to making your bedroom seem larger than it is! For more ideas on how to save space in your bedroom, visit the Medallion Blog.
