Not all homeowners have bedrooms they can call spacious. And this
is especially true for people who live in apartments or flats that are
already small: their bedrooms will also tend to be not that big in
space. Since they also live in small homes already, even if they want to
renovate to expand or make their bedrooms bigger, they cannot do so
because the overall area space just cannot allow them to do so.
The
good news for people who find their bedrooms small and campy is that
there are certain remodeling and improvement tips you can follow and
carry out to make your beloved sleeping chamber look bigger and more
expansive. By doing and following the tips below, you can move around
and stay more comfortably in your bedroom.
For starters, get rid
of any clutter in your small bedroom (and even around your home) to
really maximize the space you are currently staying in. You will find
that throwing or giving away any unused items at your place will
certainly give you additional space to move around.
If you have
the budget and time, change the paint color of your room. In general,
having lighter paint colors in any room makes it looks more spacious and
can induce a brighter ambience and over-all mood in it.
You can
also place big mirrors around your room. Mirrors reflect light and
images and when you have them in your bedroom, they will produce an
illusion that your room is more spacious than it actually is.
Another
trick to make small bedrooms look larger is to invest in high quality
and space-saving bedroom furniture. For instance, you can get a loft bed
so that you can still hide or place some of your other stuff under it.
Or have a specially-designed book-shelf mounted on the wall that does
not reach the floor so that you are given additional space to move
around. For kids who have small bedrooms, parents can get high sleeper beds
for them. This will certainly provide children additional playing
spaces in their rooms or bare areas to place additional stuff in.
Lastly,
it is important to arrange all the furniture in your sleeping room
properly to give you more movement and good traffic. This means not
placing your bed in the center of the room since this can just prohibit
your free movement. The same goes for any tables, the TV and other bulky
furniture that you think looks better when they are in the middle of
your room. Place them beside walls or in corners so that you can have
more space to walk in and move around.
