Built-In Wardrobes Can Maximise Your Sense of Space 

Built-in wardrobes can significantly improve the sense of space you feel when you step into your bedroom, even if you’re working with a relatively small footprint. While it can seem like a big commitment to install built-in storage, this option often takes up less space than freestanding pieces of furniture that can very quickly overwhelm the space. 

Built-in storage can be hugely versatile and include everything from concealed drawers to pull-out shoe storage and pull down rails that will allow you to maximise your room’s vertical storage opportunities. So, there’s plenty of scope to get really creative here. 

Pro Tip: Whether you want to take on this job yourself or work alongside a trusted local carpenter, it’s worth accurately measuring out the size of the space you’re working with in the room itself. This will help you to understand and visualise how your new built-in storage will look and how much remaining floor space you’ll have for the rest of your furniture and accessories.

Make a Feature From Open Shelving 

Open shelving is another option to consider in your bedroom, particularly if your space would benefit from an eye-catching feature that will enable you to showcase your sense of personal style. You could even choose to incorporate some open shelving within a built-in storage unit if you don’t want to fill an entire wall with closed cabinetry. 

Wooden shelves are an excellent option for a bedroom, as they reinforce a connection with the natural world that can be truly grounding and relaxing. To bring a sense of cohesion to your bedroom, you could carry this same wood finish throughout the rest of your furniture, including your choice of wardrobe doors. 

Pro tip: Open shelves tend to look best with a less is more approach to the decorative accessories, framed photographs and other objects you want to display. Use this as an opportunity to express your creativity and display a small selection of objects that bring you joy.
