Trying to upgrade a small bedroom?
When you’re working with limited space, finding new and creative ideas for your décor might seem like a huge challenge. And when you throw storage solutions into the mix, it’s easy to accidentally crowd the space!
If you’re looking for stylish organisation without clutter, here’s how to save space and stay trendy too.
Embrace vertical storage
Maximise wall space with taller items. From shelving units and floating bedside tables to subtle light-reflecting finishes, these details make the room feel bigger and brighter.
According to Ideal Home, warm whites and earthy shades are set to dominate home décor trends in 2025. It’s the perfect time and opportunity to create a cosy sanctuary that feels spacious too. What’s more, taller shelves and units make a lovely way to present your art or music collection.
Try lighter colours
Light and neutral colours make space appear bigger because they reflect more light, both natural and artificial. As light bounces around the room, surfaces feel fuller and less imposing in the space.
Lighter paint, furniture and furnishings help to create an airy and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for settling back down after a busy day or inviting friends over, choosing a light colour palette will help you to feel relaxed and confident in your space.
Incorporate fitted units
Sleek dressing areas help you to streamline your daily routine and appreciate your wardrobe even more. Whether you make use of small alcoves or a dedicated space in the room, you can create walk-in wardrobes with integrated shelving and so much more.
If there’s already a wardrobe in the bedroom, simply adding mirrored doors could help you save on floor space while adding a sense of luxury. Compact, integrated storage solutions transform unused space into stylish efficiency.
Make use of mirrors
Mirrors are one of the most timeless and foolproof ways to maximise natural light in any space. Smaller bedrooms can feel dark and shadowy, especially if they’re on the ground floor or in the corner of a larger block.
We recommend using a full-length mirror alongside smaller mirrors in the shadiest parts of the room. These will bounce light around the space and serve a practical purpose in helping you check your outfits, too!
Choose multi-functional furniture
Finally, don’t forget that choosing versatile, multi-functional furniture could save you plenty of practical floor space. You can find stylish ottoman beds with lift-up storage, which work brilliantly if you’re big on comfort and a sense of luxury.
If you’ll be spending time both working at your desk and using it to get ready for nights out, it’s worth choosing a desk that doubles as a dressing table. Think folding mirrors, handy LED lights and useful drawers for storage. Meanwhile, bedside units with integrated power outlets help you stay connected without the hazard of messy cables.
