1. MAKE USE OF THE VERTICAL SPACE
A good way to make the most of the box bedroom is to take a good look at the small bedroom layout. Are assessing all corners and areas for storage? 'It's essential to use the height of the room and not just the length and width with a box bedroom,' says Lucie Ayres, founder of 22 Interiors. 'So consider floating shelves on walls that create opportunities for pretty display and also storage. We like to do beds with drawers underneath to maximize the space.'
2. BUILD IN YOUR STORAGE
Customization is the name of the game. For small bedroom storage ideas, consider building bespoke solutions specific to your room's dimensions to maximize space. You can also fit in more internal solutions within built-ins such as a hidden vanity space, a dressing table, and more.
3. CHOOSE BEDS WITH STORAGE
'Beds with built-in drawers are excellent for storing items like linens, blankets, or out-of-season clothing,' says Ginger. 'If your bed doesn't have storage, utilize under-bed storage containers or invest in bed risers to create additional space beneath the bed.'
4. GO FOR OPEN SHELVES TO CREATE A LIGHT INTERIOR
If you want to give your bedroom a feeling of breeziness and openness then instead of boxy, large cabinets you could consider open shelves and door-less units. While this will help create lighter visuals, you will have to ensure these shelves are always neat and orderly since their contents will always be out on display.
5. CHOOSE MULTIPURPOSE FURNITURE PIECES
By using multipurpose pieces you can make a small bedroom look bigger, and also open it up for many other purposes other than sleeping. Make sure your furniture is on the right scale for your space and is multi-use. A sofa-cum-bed can help a great deal. Folding desks, large wicker baskets that double as ottomans and contain the bedroom paraphernalia, and hidden bedroom storage pieces are a good way to go as well.
