Like many homeowners, you probably didn’t build your home yourself. And like plenty of us, some things about our home aren’t exactly how we wish they were. For example, the kitchen may be shaped funny, the laundry room is located in the garage (what?!), or the master bedroom is smaller than you envisioned. If you find that your master bedroom doesn’t even contain a closet big enough for you and your spouse, it may be time to get creative. But have no fear, we are here to provide solutions!
Don’t Jump the Gun on Your Bedroom Furniture in Jacksonville, FL
First things first, you need a plan. It is important to take a step back and visualize what you would like your bedroom to look like. Consider your existing furniture and any furniture you may need to purchase. Think about the purpose and function of your room—do you use it just to sleep or is it your second office? All of these factors are important to consider when arranging your bedroom furniture in Jacksonville, FL. It may be a good idea to get out the old pen and paper. Draw up different ways your furniture could be arranged by taking measurements and getting creative.
Free Up Some Wall Space
If you find yourself tip-toeing around your bed to reach your dresser, you’re not alone. We all know how necessary that dresser is, too. If your closet is large enough, put the dresser IN your closet. After doing so, it’ll make your closet seem like a rich, organized wonderland. If your home isn’t blessed with a cave for a closet, purchase a dresser that is tall rather than the traditional wide, short dressers.
Storage Solutions
With a tiny bedroom comes tiny storage space. It’s time to come up with some creative ways to store your stuff! Under-bed storage boxes are a great place to store bathroom towels, shoes, out-of-season clothing, and much more! Plus, maybe your cat will stop burrowing underneath there. Many stores sell over-the-door storage hangers for things like shoes, jewelry, and other clothing items. There is even bedroom furniture in Jacksonville, FL that doubles as storage, like ottomans and chairs.
Mind Tricks
After you’ve done all that, all that is left is the visual elements. It is really easy to trick the mind into believing that a room has more space than it really does. Dark colored walls make rooms seem smaller, so opt for a brighter shade. Mirrors reflect light off the walls to create an illusion of more room. And lastly, large, bold rugs can open up space, too.
