Having a smaller bedroom can make things a little awkward when it comes to storage. With that said, using a little imagination you can really open up a small space with just a few tweaks. Using the best-suited storage solutions will make your room feel twice the size! Here are some useful tips on how to achieve this.
Vacuum bags
Store unused sesonal clothes and quilts in vacuum bags. It’s surprising how much space a spare quilt can take up, but try popping it into a vacuum bag, it will be half the size it was!
You can store vacuum bags in your bed drawers (if you have them) or neatly tuck them under your bed frame. They really are fantastic space savers.
Fitted Wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes are definitely worth looking into if you have a smaller bedroom. Using a CAD system, the furniture manufacturer will create a furniture layout that gives you maximum storage potential without taking up any unnecessary space.
With so many designs to choose from, such as shaker style fronts and modern sliding door wardrobes, you are sure to find a style that best suits your theme.
Door Hanging Storage
Another simple space-saving solution is to use door hanging storage. You can buy canvas hangers that hook over the top of the door and have plenty of empty slots to be filled. They can be used to store shoes, socks, beauty products, hairdryers, straighteners and so on.
Shelving
Instead of having traditional bedsides why not consider bedside shelving? Freestanding bedsides can be considered bulky and will dominate any small room instantly. By installing small shelves on each side of the bed will give you so much more floor space and not to mention how light and airy the room will be afterwards.
Using technology
In your bedroom do you have books or DVDs taking up too much space? Why not digitise them yourself or use a company like Digital Converters to make your old books and films into digital copies, this way you get to keep your files and save space.
