How To Make Small Bedrooms Look More Organised?

Our day begins and ends in our bedroom, so keeping it organised makes sense. A cluttered bed, messy floor and overflowing drawers (of the dresser) in the bedroom can make anyone feel frazzled. The feeling could be more intensive, if it’s a small bedroom. However, there are ways to maximise the space, in order to make it look more beautiful, presentable and organised. 

Below are some ways to tidy up small bedrooms.    

Find a bed with storage




While purchasing a bed, consider investing in the one with storage space underneath. You can either buy a bed with in-built storage or create your own. It is a perfect place for storing out-of-season clothes and other items that are not required on daily basis. You can also use under-bed containers to help you with proper organisation.

Get a multipurpose furniture




Having a nightstand beside your bed is not an absolute necessity. If you have a small room, you can consider placing your dresser by your bedside that will serve the purpose of a nightstand too. You can also have a nightstand which is small enough to fit into the tight corner, but big enough to be used as a temporary desk when paired with a small chair. In short, you can have a nightstand that serves a variety of uses. 
If you are willing to have a bench at the foot of your bed, you can double up its utility by investing in the one with storage capabilities. Whatever furniture piece you install, make sure it is made from a good quality wooden material. You can use laminates or veneer sheets to give your furniture an elegant yet a stylish look. Decorative veneers and laminates can also be considered for this purpose.    

Rethink your closet design



A closet contributes to the overall organisation of a bedroom. You can generate more space in your existing closet only by adding more shelf or drawer units in it to accommodate extra items. Modifying the current closet requires a good quality plywood and a little bit of ideation. Moreover, plan the placements of items in your closet in such a way that most used items are positioned at the front and centre, while the rest can be kept in upper shelves. 

Utilise your wall space



In small bedrooms, walls play a significant role when it comes to creating an organised space. You can utilise your wall in the best possible way by adding shelves, attaching a rack or creating a peg board over it. You can then use it for keeping your books or holding jewelry, stoles and other stuff.   

Don’t forget the doors



If you think that you have utilised every possible space present in your room for storing and keeping your stuff organised, don’t forget you have doors too. Installing over-the-door racks, organisers and shoe cubbies over doors can create a great storage space.
Less space is no longer a limitation for those who wish to have a beautiful and well-organised bedroom. Follow the above given tips and transform your bedroom the way you desire it to be.

Interesting Ways To Utilise The Space Under Staircase

Apart from connecting different floors, a staircase rarely serves any purpose. Its underneath space is mostly considered as a dead space, however, that space can actually be utilised effectively. From being a spot to enjoy reading at to becoming a play space for the little ones, the area under stairs can serve purposes.

Below are some tips to make the most of this often under-utilised space: 

Reading spot

The little space under the stairs is ideal for creating a cozy reading corner at your home. You can accent the space with comfy throw pillows, few decorative items and a collection of books. You can also have a storage cabinet underneath the reading seat for keeping your books. A reading spot like this will prove to be a great place to unwind at.

Kid’s corner





our kids would appreciate the idea of having a separate space for them. You can either turn the area into a playful kid’s corner or their homework spot. Install a small wooden bed in the area or a highly functional study table. You can further accentuate the space with some art pieces, stuff toys and pillows.  

While purchasing the furniture for your kids, make sure it is made up of good quality plywood. Kids don’t understand how cheap or expensive a furniture can be. They may use it rough while playing. However, furniture made using marine plywood is resistant from heat, dust and termites to give your kids a good play time. 

Storage System




Traditionally, the spot under the stairs was used for hanging coats and placing boots, but no one likes to use it that way now. You can turn it into a sophisticated storage system where you can slot bags, jackets, shoes and much more.

Home Office


Instead of devoting an entire room to home office, you can carve out a small office nook under the stairs. It will act as your personal space for dealing with your office work. You can have a small furniture fitted in that area, like a simple desk and wall shelves to perform tasks with ease. 

Home Bar

The ingenious space under the stairs can be utilised for storing all your bar essentials in a simple yet beautiful manner. You can install a showy furniture in the area to make the space more like a luxury mini bar. In order to add more beauty to your bar furniture, you may consider using veneer sheets or laminates.

In these ways you can put under-the-stairs area at your home to good use. In fact, the burden of space constraints at home can completely be reduced by utilising the space below stairs.
