By Marc

If you are looking for inspiration on how to make the best use of your small room, then you might be overwhelmed by the amount of ideas which are out there. There are lots of practical solutions, to organise spare equipment which you have in your home, or if you need to have somewhere for visitors to stay, but also need to use your small space as other functions. Here are some cool ideas for your small space.

As more and more people are working from home then it is not surprising that there are so many office ideas out there to consider, when deciding how to get the most benefit from your small space. There are a number of office units cropping up these days, and lots of companies will design and make an office for you, in a creative way, which will compliment your room as well as being the most productive use of space. If you want to keep costs down then office furniture, which you assemble yourself, can be bought easily at big low cost furniture stores, or if you are a DIY expert then to build and fit a desk onto a wall is a relatively easy task, and you can find instructions online, and the materials you need at local DIY shops.

Day beds are fantastic in a small space, in the fact that they are duel purpose. The fact that day beds are one of Bedstar’s biggest sellers says that people are thinking creatively as to how make there small spaces as multipurpose as possible, due to the fact that day beds are not used as spare guest beds, but also as a seating area. Day beds can either come in metal or wood, but Bedstar find that their metal frames are the most popular. Some brands come with a trundle bed, which is stored underneath, and has pull out legs so that it can be made into a double bed for guests. The wooden day beds can be painted into any colour, or finish, so if you are a DIY enthusiast then you create a piece of furniture which will perfectly fit your décor. Instead of a trundle bed, an alternative are storage drawers, which fit perfectly underneath your day bed, and are also a fantastic use of space.

shelving for small spaces

There are so many options when considering shelving and creative shelving for small spaces can really add a lot to your room. Shelving comes in many different formats. Open shelving lets you creatively display books, pictures, plants, and ornaments. This can be done in a way which makes a statement to the room, adding a uniqueness. Shelving can be added anywhere in a room, with people putting shelves higher up in small rooms. If you want to store clothing or equipment which you necessarily do not want to display, then there are lots of ideas for shelving with doors and drawers, converting any small space into storage. Simple shelving can be constructed fairly easily, if you want ‘do it yourself,’ with shelve packs available a many local furniture and DIY stores.

4 Bedroom Designs Based on Personality

By Marc

No matter what kind of life you lead, you want a bedroom that reflects your personality. Try using this guide to choose decorating ideas that match who you are so you can feel comfortable in your home’s most restful room. Here are 4 bedroom designs based on your personality, whatever it may be.

4. You Have a Laid-back Personality

Key design elements: soft, comfortable, mellow

If you have a laid-back personality, you want to choose bedroom designs that emphasize your mellow nature. If you lived in the St. Louis area, for example, you’d look for soft sheets, thick pillows, and fluffy carpets from St Louis carpet companies.

Since you’re really laid-back, you probably don’t spend a lot of time organizing your clothes. That’s fine. Instead of buying expensive furniture to organize your outfits, spend money on a nice stereo. That way, you can listen to cool tunes while you relax in bed with your pets and a good book.

3. You Have an Obsessive Compulsive Personality

Key design elements: organization

You don’t have to have an OCD diagnosis to know that you want things neat and orderly at all times. If you have a bit of an obsessive compulsive personality, you’ll want a bedroom design that helps you keep everything organized. Look for drawers that include baskets so you can separate white from colored socks. Buy organizational items for your closet so you can prevent wrinkles.

You should also get a small dust-buster for your bedroom. Not that you’d ever eat crackers in bed, but it’s good to have a vacuum nearby for when you spot dust bunnies. [Read more…]
