Small Bedroom Space Saver Tips

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.

Halloween Tree Decorations

Halloween trees have been popular for many years and I suppose it is because people like having a tree with lights and ornaments as a part of their home décor. Normally the trees are shaped and look like a Christmas tree however instead of green branches the tree is black or dark purple and I have seen a few that were orange color. 

A Halloween tree is fun to decorate and you can use it to accent your home décor or set it up on your front porch. It is a good way to let all the neighborhood children know that you have candy for them when they go out to trick or treat.

Even if you are not someone who goes all out when decorating for Halloween know that a tree would be all that you would need. You could buy one at Hobby Lobby or Amazon for your tabletop or set up a Halloween tree in a  dark corner in your foyer or living space.

Here is a tree that is perfect for your home or office.  It is decorated with plastic skulls and pumpkins.

As for lights, it is best to buy purple or orange lights for a black Halloween tree. If you do another color tree such as an orange one then I would recommend a strand of black lights. Thus keeping with the traditional colors of Halloween; orange, black, and purple.

Your decorations should be spooky and you can shop for small plastic skeletons and pumpkins at a hobby store. Use crazy glue to attach a hook to hang them on your tree. Shop for ceramic ornaments and other Halloween decorations at Zazzle.com  Many ornaments are templates which means you can customize them by adding a photograph of your children in their Halloween costumes from previous years of buy the keepsake ornaments with the design as shown, plus your personalized text.  The ornament would be a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves halloween. .

Shop for Halloween grosgrain ribbon and drape it onto your tree. Complete your tree by adding a black witch add to the top and a colorful and magical-looking tree skirt.

I put together a collection of  Zazzle ornaments and tree skirts that I found. All were created by independent artists and are unique designs.
