Living large in a small bedroom can feel like a constant battle against clutter. But fear not besties! With a few clever storage hacks, you can transform your bedroom into a haven of comfort and functionality, even with limited square footage.
Think Vertical
Small bedrooms beg for vertical storage solutions. Utilize your walls, and doors! Install tall bookshelves or wardrobes that reach the ceiling, maximizing every inch of space. Hang organizers over the back of your door to store shoes, scarves, or big coats. And don’t forget the space above your door! Perfect for storing books or additional storage boxes for non everyday items.
Under the Bed
The most underutilized space in a bedroom! Invest in under-bed storage bins that slide easily for out-of-season clothes, extra blankets, or bulky items. Platform beds with built-in drawers are another great way to utilize this often-wasted space. And let’s not forget a bench seat or ottoman at the end of your bed, perfect for storing extra bedding or overflowing shoes!
Designate Zones
While maximizing storage is key, creating designated zones can further enhance the functionality of your small bedroom. Create different zones for sleeping, work/study, dressing and relaxation. This zonation helps your small space feel more spacious and allows you to seamlessly transition between activities within your cozy haven. Consider your bed against a wall, or for your work station, a fold-down desk that can easily be put away when not in use.
Mirror, Mirror..
Mirrors are your secret weapon in a small bedroom! Strategically placed mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space. Hang a large mirror opposite a window to reflect natural light and visually expand the room. Consider mirrored closet doors to add depth and bounce light around the space. Even a small decorative mirror placed above your dresser can create a sense of openness and add a touch of visual intrigue.
Wall Mounted Everything
When square footage is limited, take advantage of wall space! Wall-mounted furniture is a lifesaver in a small bedroom. Ditch bulky bedside tables and opt for sleek floating shelves or drawers mounted on either side of your bed. The continuous expanse of floor beneath wall-mounted pieces tricks the eye, giving the illusion of a larger footprint in your small bedroom. Consider wall sconces to keep the bedside tables clutter free!
