(Newswire.net — June 6, 2017) — Your bedroom is your space away from the chaos of life, a place to relax and meditate as you plan for the next day. However, it is hard to feel tranquil when you have to jump over piles of dirty clothes or taking apart everything while searching through a disorganized closet. What you do not know is that there may be several square feet of usable space hidden under your furniture and nose.
Paring down and de-cluttering is great, but what if you need the stuff? According to the owner of The Atlantic , if you are working with a tiny bedroom and paring down is not working, you may need to look into a makeover for your storage so you can add not just more stuff, but do it in a comfortable way.
Here are five insanely smart and simple ways to get more storage space from a tiny bedroom.
Go Under the Bed
Feng Shui fans will likely cringe at the idea of placing stuff under your bed, but this is a really simple and easy way of adding a huge storage area in your sleeping quarters. If you do not have any storage facility, you have the option of purchasing a new storage bed, making your own under-the-bed storage piece or raising your bed and adding storage containers.
Reclaim That Unused Space in the Closet
Is your closet well organized and are you milking as much storage space as possible in there? If you are renting, drilling holes for shelves could be an uneasy thought. However, you can use over-the-door hangers, clothing rods and other great storage tools to get even more space where your stuff can be hang in an organized manner.
Get a Wardrobe Wall
While this is not the cheapest of options – may even sound crazy if you have a really small bedroom – placing a shallow wardrobe will introduce a cozy feeling. The wardrobe will also give your more storage space. A light colored wardrobe will also help you feel less claustrophobic.
Organize the Dresser
Drawer dividers and folding tools can really help you store your clothing in an organized manner that makes it easy to find your pieces of clothes easily. Also consider using some extreme storage techniques like packing your out of season clothes. Some people may hate the idea, but keeping your winter clothes away helps reduce the amount of bulky stuff you have in the bedroom.
Think Vertical
If you have limited square footage, it is time to look up to the sky. Install deep shelves above your head and use them to store stuff you no longer use or do not use often – like your off-season clothes and luggage. Avoid installing shelves that extend into your room; instead, consider creating some recessed spaces by removing the drywall. You can also add doors to the shelves or installing shallow shelf inserts.
If there is limited space around your bed, get rid of bedside tables and replace them with a headboard that has cabinets for holding glasses, books and lamps. Purchase narrow armoires, dressers and corner cabinets that will stretch your small bedroom space. For your TV and entertainment unit, use a compact entertainment center for the TV, stereo and other types of electronic media.
Make these quick adjustments to maximize your floor space and play with furniture arrangement, light and color. Getting multi-purpose furniture with storage options, minimizing clutter and taking advantage of the available wall space can make any small bedroom look bigger. Remember; always keep your bedroom tidy by ensuring that clothes at walkways are removed to make the bedroom seem bigger.
