Bedrooms in today's homes don't seem to be as large as they used to be despite the fact that many of the pieces of furniture in use in bedrooms is essential. After all, you will always need somewhere to store your everyday clothes; you will always need somewhere to hang your outdoor wear; you will always need somewhere to store your shoes. In fact, it has been suggested that as much as 35% of women's clothing hanging in her closet is never worn! One way, however, of optimizing space with your closet is in having sliding doors rather than the hinged ones that open outwards. While this option is not going to save you much overall space, the fact that the doors slide instead of opening enables you to reduce the space needed between the bed and the closet.
Aside from somewhere to store clothes and shoes, we all need a comfortable place to sleep. While it may not seem immediately obvious, the easiest place to economize, in terms of space, is with the bed as closet size is unanimously never sufficient so you can hardly compromise in that department. One of the more traditional concepts for space saving bedroom furniture is storage space integral to the bed itself. Under-bed storage - where the bed base lifts up - and storage drawers that are inserted at one or other side of the divan are nothing new and have been on the market for years. If you decide on a bed frame rather than a divan then investing in a couple of under-bed storage boxes would be a good idea.
Leather Futon Sofa
These storage boxes are usually made of plastic with clip-down lids and are designed as large, flattish boxes which often have tiny wheels attached to them. Used in conjunction with space saving bedroom furniture they are an invaluable source of storage. Continuing on the theme of storage space, if you have room to incorporate bedside tables, you would be better advised to choose a design that incorporates drawers. We all accumulate bits and pieces and, where better to hide these than to allocate a bedside drawer for them. Another option for saving space with your bedside cabinets is to attach them to the wall. There are various advantages to this, the first of which makes your room look less crowded; the second means that any bedside light placed on top of the bedside cabinet will flood your room with light which, in itself, helps give the allusion of a bigger room.
One way to acquire more space in a small bedroom is by doing away with the bed completely and installing a Futon sofa convertible instead. Naturally this wouldn't be everybody's choice but, if the bedroom belongs to a teenager, a Futon sofa may be a more acceptable option. Not all Futons have to be as expensive as the top-of-the-range one that converts into two bunk beds. The basic frame can be obtained from IKEA for quite an economical price. On saying that, however, you could also purchase a Hill Country Futon and pay top dollars! Overall, however, it is possible to locate suitable space saving bedroom furniture that makes an economical and attractive option for furnishing a bedroom with diminutive proportions.
