Organize A Small Bedroom With Little Space

Stackable boxes are decorative and useful.


A small bedroom can be a decorating challenge but not if you have the right information. The trick to decorating a small bedroom is keeping the room balanced with the objects in it and making the most of the space in the room. Once you figure out maximize space and use furnishings, you can create a space that is comfortable and functional.


Instructions


1. Keep all objects to scale in the bedroom. Avoid large pieces of furniture with ornate inlays and large, overstuffed pillows. Choose furnishings with clean lines that don't take up more room than they need to (think Scandinavian). An ironwork bed is a good choice for a small bedroom because the bed frame takes up very little space. Choose a lower bed, as this will look smaller visually.


2. Select an appropriate-sized bed. Choose the smallest size bed that will comfortably sleep those who will be using it. Place the bed close to a wall to prevent the room from feeling smaller than it is. Leave enough room for walking around the bed.


3. Decorate only with items you need. Don't bring additional furnishings into the room that will only cause clutter. You will need to feel comfortable in your bedroom and part of this feeling is knowing you have enough room to move.


4. Choose double-duty items to make the most of space in your bedroom. Decorative or stackable baskets and boxes conceal clutter and they look neat.


5. Maximize all the spaces in your bedroom. Look high and low for opportunities to utilize space. Use the area under your bed for storing seasonal clothing. Install bookshelves and storage units on your walls to give you a storage area without taking up floor space.








6. Use nesting tables to get the most out of your floor space. These tables are convenient for using as nightstands because you can tuck them away when not needed.
