You can create a small seating area in a minimal space.
Creating an area to relax in a small bedroom may seem challenging, but it can be accomplished by using the correct placement of furniture and accessories. Whether you are a teen trying to become independent, a senior citizen who must live with family or a young adult who had to move back home with parents for financial reasons, having a space to relax and unwind is important to your mental health. Harried moms and dads often need a space in the home to get away from the rest of the family to recoup and rejuvenate -- no matter how much they love their family.
Instructions
1. Position your bed against one wall of the small room. This helps fill up unused and wasted space, thus allowing you room to create an area for relaxation.
2. Place a recliner, occasional chair with an ottoman or a chaise lounge in the room beside the bed on the adjacent wall from where you positioned the bed. If the room is rectangle-shaped, the open space left over beside the bed may be only large enough for a needed nightstand and lamp. If this is the case, place the chair in another corner of the room or a space toward the end of the bed.
3. Position a round or occasional table close to the seating area. Add a small reading lamp to the area and little else. Cluttering the table will make the area seemed cramped, which does not induce a serene ambience.
4. Set a decorative basket beside the seating area for your supplies, such as knitting needles and yarn, a remote control, magazines or books. This keeps them close at hand, yet does not clutter the area.
