Maximize a small bedroom

Maximize a small bedroom 

Homes come in all shapes and sizes. Some homes have large bedrooms while others have smaller, cosier bedrooms. This doesn’t necessarily mean that one bedroom is better than the other, as the effect and atmosphere of each room depends on how you decorate it! If you feel that your bedroom is on the smaller side, there are simple ways to help create the illusion of a larger space and the key is to create a clean and uncluttered space. If you are confused on where to start, here are some tips for you to maximise your bedroom:

1. Bedframe with under-bed storage

The key issue that most people have with a small bedroom is that it looks cluttered because there is not enough space to store your items. This issue is easily solved by getting a multi-functional bed frame. These bedframes serve the dual purpose of giving you a comfortable place to sleep and also keeping your items out of sight. 

There are many bed frames with storage compartments for you to choose from or you can even opt for a customised one!

2. Hooks

Hooks or racks are useful for small bedrooms. Their compact and narrow structure allows them to hold many things without taking up too much space. Another plus point is that they are also highly fashionable.

3. Decorate with wall shelves / customized shelves 

If you like to decorate your room but don’t have the space for it, you can simply create more space by adding wall shelves. Both pretty and functional, wall shelves allow you to add little trinkets and décor to brighten up your space. Nonetheless, be cautious not to go overboard as a minimalistic design is most suitable for small spaces.

4. Mirrors

You don’t need a large floor-to-ceiling mirror to open up your room! A small, simple mirror is sufficient to help reflect light and create the illusion of a bigger room. We all know the trick that optometrists use to create more distance when checking your eyesight so we can apply the same principle here!

5. Light coloured walls

Light coloured walls, such as cream, white or pastel colours, are a subtle way of making your room look bigger. Lighter colours are able to reflect light better. This not only brightens up your room but the lively setting makes your room look neat and open. 

6. String shelves

Another storage trick is using string shelving. This is a stylish alternative to the conventional cabinets. String shelving allow a lot more light into the room and does not look or feel as bulky. Another major advantage is that the it is fully customizable! You can change the number and position of shelves any time you want which is great if you often swap or throw things out.

7. Concealable elements 

A smaller living space means you can get creative with all the elements of the room! Concealable elements are a unique way of maintaining the functionalities of a room but also ensuring that you have sufficient space to move around. If you want, you can even have an entire mini dining area hidden away in your room!
