How not to waste space in the bedroom

Make the most of the space above and under the bed. Use a few essential items. Make room for a mirror that makes the room appear larger.

How to customize your scaled bedroom
In the bedroom, every inch of space is precious, as it's a place where we spend many hours, so it shouldn't be wasted. Especially if the room is small and you live with someone. 

Few objects

The first rule for not wasting bedroom space is not to overdo it with objects. The room cannot be transformed into a bazaar, which also creates the conditions for always finding it again. disorderObjects should be chosen carefully and based on priorities: a few photographs, but meaningful ones; few objects hung on the walls; few vases scattered around the room. There are other rooms in the house, from the living room to the sitting room, not to mention the hallway, where you can plan on having more objects.

The vertical space

In the bedroom, you should avoid wasting wall space and make the most of the vertical dimension.
For example like this:
  • Shelves above the bed or above the desk
  • Ceiling-high wardrobes
  • Wall hooks or coat hangers

The space under the bed

Is your bedroom too small for your wardrobe? So use the space under the bed for:

  • Use low containers o boxes with wheels.
  • Even better a Container bed: allows you to store blankets, seasonal clothes or suitcases without taking up any more space

This way you could solve, at least in part, the problem of changing seasons by freeing up space in your closets.

Furniture that performs multiple functions

Choose furnishing solutions with furniture that can perform multiple functions simultaneously. For example:

  • bedside table with drawers
  • storage bench at the foot of the bed
  • wall-mounted folding desk

Suitable bedside tables

Choose them according to a few criteria. They should have enough space for a lamp, a carafe of water, a book, glasses, and some other objects. They should be free of sharp edges, which can be dangerous, especially if you tend to move around during the night. And they should be within arm's reach of the pillow where you rest your head. An elegant abat-jour can make a difference.

Exploit the doors

Behind a door you can put:

  • hanging organizers
  • hooks for bags, belts or jackets

This way you will have saved space, without wasting it, and also created the conditions for having a tidy room more easily. 

Colors to personalize the room

Instead of bulky, dust-causing objects, use colors to give your bedroom a personalized touch. Choose neutral tones, from gray to white. Avoid overdoing it with the tends (Don't worry if they cover the radiators because of the hot and cold air), wallpaper, and too many scattered cushions: they only take away air and light from your bedroom. 

A mirror

Aside from its usefulness (it's always useful in the bedroom), a mirror allows you to make the room seem larger.

Natural light 

Whatever your aesthetic and functional furnishing choices, remember that a beautiful bedroom, with personality, must have a lot of natural light. And good openings to the outside, to allow for frequent air changes. 

No television 

In bed, you sleep, rest, read, and make love. You don't eat, and above all, you don't watch television, which, like all devices, is a waste of time. electronici, It disrupts sleep and worsens its quality. In the bedroom, this appliance, which should have its own dedicated location, is simply a waste of space and an incentive to waste time.
