Your bedroom should be a place to relax and wind down. The space should be comfortable and cosy, without being overcrowded and cluttered.
A small bedroom can quickly feel claustrophobic if you have too many possessions. You need to declutter your belongings and go for the minimalist approach.
Here are a few tips to maximize the available space in your bedroom.

Reduce the ‘extra’ Space
Wardrobes and drawers need more space beyond their dimensions. You need space to open the cupboard doors and pull out the drawer.
A sliding wardrobe will reduce the amount of extra space needed around your furniture. You can fill the space with a bigger wardrobe to store all of your clothing and extra belongings.
Increase Storage
You need to be smart about the storage in your smaller room. You could find a bed frame with drawers’ underneath.
You can store spare linen, ski jackets and much more under the bed.
You don’t need to take up more floor space when you have multi-functional furniture. Or, you could make use of the space on top of furniture.
For example, the space on top of your wardrobe could be used to store your suitcase. You could put a set of drawers on top of the wardrobe as well.
Hangings
You might not have a lot of floor space – but you do have wall space available. Hanging shelves and plants can increase your display capabilities without cluttering the tabletops.
It’s much easier to clean your room when the surfaces are clear from knick-knacks and clutter. You can still have a stylish room with wall decorations.
Keep It Simple
You need to make your small room feel bigger. Keep the colour palette light and bright. A neutral palette with whites, creams and pastels will welcome more natural light and open up the space.
Neutral colours are bang on trend right now, especially when paired with the lushest plants.
You could finish the room with a few personal items, like family photos and books.
Display your books and a few candles on a hanging shelf to soften the neutral palette. Keep your room tidy and try to find an organisational system that works for you.
Make your box room into a relaxation haven.
