How To Give Your Bedroom A Make-Under
Handyman Quotes

Starting to feel a little overwhelmed and overcluttered? Overhauling your bedroom space doesn’t have to be a tedious or expensive exercise - in fact, more and more homeowners are opting for a minimalist remodel which returns the space to a bare functionality often missing in the more elaborate of bedroom designs. We live in a world of endless choice and seemingly endless possibility, a world where the consumer has become both customer and product, a world where it’s easy to get lost in accumulating possessions and decorations like you’re hoarding for the last days of Rome. The issue is ensuring you make informed and considered decisions about every aspect of your precious snooze place: interior architecture, furniture, decoration, colour palate. Here’s how to make-under your bedroom in just a few simple steps and restore a sense of elegant simplicity which will help you sleep at night!
Step 1. Opt for under-bed storage
Unavoidably, the best way to maximise space in any bedroom is to hide or disguise your clothing storage - and one of the best ways to do this is with some kind of under-bed shelf or drawer. This needn’t be an extravagance - using shipping palettes is just one idea for doing this budget-friendly. Otherwise, depending on the dimensions of your intended items, you could opt for a filing system, wire baskets on wheels or even a bed frame with built-in drawer storage.
Step 2. Cull the accessories
Those fairylights might have seemed like a great idea five years ago; that picture you got gifted at Christmas had to make it onto the wall. However, the more you allow half-hearted choices of decor to dominate the bedroom, the more the space will lack any kind of coherent style or atmosphere. Do a trial period without these decorations to determine just how freed-up you prefer your walls - nothing says clean simplicity so well as strong, spotless wallspace!
Step 3. Match your linen
Since the bed forms the centrepiece of the bedroom, both aesthetically and psychologically, it’s important to create a blank slate, an oasis of calm within the home. Shades of white and cream are obviously good choices for "peaceful" bed linen - but simply keeping all textiles within the room complementary is a great start. Time to say goodbye to stray colourful pillows and bright patchwork throws - they can migrate to the loungeroom.
Step 4. Enhance natural light
Sometimes merely creating more light within the bedroom and making it feel more spacious can help to declutter its look. Windows and skylights are perfect ways to do this - and what’s more, studies have shown waking up to a natural sunlight helps your inner body clock accept that it’s time to get up!
Step 5. Create a focal point
Now that you’ve cleared out the space and sent a lot of its contents packing, select one aspect of the bedroom - perhaps the bedhead, a house plant, a feature wall, or a hanging lamp - which you’d like to emphasise. An authoritative focal point draws the eye and drains the space of clutter. It also helps give the room a sense of personality and draws it away from being too generic so as to be sterile.
