The bedroom should be a place of rest and sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, but unfortunately too often it can become a rather cluttered and neglected space. A tidy and well organised bedroom helps to make getting ready for work in the mornings quicker and easier as you can find everything you need straight away.
A neat and elegant bedroom arrangement is also good for our mental health. Scientific studies have shown that too many items in our field of vision causes sensory overload and reduces the ability of the brain to relax and focus. A tidy room gives us a sense of control, and makes it easier to put the stresses of the day into perspective.
Tidy rooms are also easier to keep clean, and we tend to sleep better and are less likely to develop health problems in a clean environment. A good night’s sleep is absolutely fundamental to our wellbeing and quality of life. Here are some suggestions to help you keep clutter under control in your bedroom.
Custom-made wardrobes can be fitted from floor to ceiling, utilising the whole space and avoiding the wasted nooks and crannies created by free-standing furniture. They can accommodate awkward spaces such as chimney breasts and sloping ceilings, and stretch from wall to wall or wrap around corners.
Custom made furniture can be designed specifically for your storage needs, whether that’s extra shelves and drawers for books or accessories, or maximum hanging space to accommodate a large collection of clothing. A fitted wardrobe can increase the storage capacity in your bedroom by around 35%.
The bed usually takes up the most floor space in the room. An ottoman bed frame opens up to provide access to the interior of the bed base, which is invaluable if you have a small room. It can be used to store seasonal clothing and spare towels and bed linens.
Alternatively, if you want everyday access to the stored items you could opt for a divan bed base with built-in drawers.
A stool is a very useful item of bedroom furniture, providing somewhere to sit at the dressing table while you apply make-up or to put on footwear. Opt for a storage stool that is hollow inside and opens up to enable you to stow all those bits and pieces that tend to clog up dressing tables or bedside furniture.
A blanket box can be easily fitted into an unused space, and used to store bed linens or spare towels. There are many stylish options available, such as weathered wood, plush velvet, or wicker to complement the overall decor of your bedroom.
