So
many of the new homes have really small bedrooms. It seems that the
master bedroom is a decent size but the other bedrooms seem to pay
the price. Like many people, I have a decent size master bedroom but
my other bedrooms are small. In order to make the bedroom appear
larger, I needed to save some space.
Save
space in a bedroom by buying a twin-sized bed with drawers
located directly underneath This bed with drawers will eliminate the
need for a chest of drawers. You can create a more spacious look in
your bedroom with built-in bookshelves with cabinets instead of
freestanding shelving.
Here
is a room set that I did to show my customer how she could save space
in her daughter's small bedroom.
.Another
way to save space is to buy a raised bed that has a built-in desk
underneath. These raised beds look like bunk beds only there isn’t
a lower bed. Kids seem to love this bed ensemble.
My
niece had a really small bedroom so her Dad created a loft sleeping area
for her. He then created a study area underneath the loft. By raising the bed to the loft area her
bedroom was more spacious.
My
sister saved space in her small bedroom by installing a Murphy Bed.
When the bed is locked into the wall your room will look very
spacious. My sister has her office in that room along with a potted
palm tree and a comfy chair. When she needs the room for guests she
will utilize the Murphy bed.
When
shopping for furniture select a small frame bed and a nightstand as
large furniture would make the room look less spacious.
Buy plastic storage containers and put a
few on the top shelf of the closet for past-season clothing. This will free up
space in the drawers and your clothes that are hanging will not look
cramped.
Well, those are some ideas that I thought I would share with all of you on
how to save space in a small bedroom.
