Everyone loves their bedroom, but if you are short on space or simply want to make the most of the room, how do you do this with ease and with minimal cost?

In 2023, some trends are emerging in how to make the most of all bedroom spaces, and here, you will be guided through some of the most popular and fun ways to truly make your bedroom your own without cluttering it up.

Built-in or Fitted Wardrobe

Nobody wants clutter in their bedroom, as it prevents many people from relaxing in the space and, obviously, is just messy and unhygienic. 

If you have the option to have built in wardrobes in your bedroom, then this is something you should go for. These are adaptable to your unique storage needs and will prevent items like clothing, bags, and shoes from building up in your bedroom, keeping the space neat and pristine for you to relax in at the end of the day.

Create a Seating Area

The choice of whether or not to invest in a seating area in your bedroom will depend on the size of the room.

If you have a larger bedroom, it can be worth investing in two small chairs that face each other in a segmented part of the room, which will create a natural area for you to sit with guests. Or, if you prefer, why not opt for a small, foldaway desk and a folding chair, which would be ideal for those who are short of space but may also need an area to work in, such as students or people who work from home?

If you have even more space available in your bedroom (lucky you), you could put two chairs facing each other or a small sofa with a table in the middle, acting as a sort of makeshift dining area for you to sit with friends and drink coffee. Or, this can simply be a haven for you to decompress after a long day.

Wall Art

A few years ago, wall art was all the rage, particularly in living rooms and dining rooms. In 2023, it was moved to the bedroom, and it is a great way to enhance this space. Even a bright canvas painted in oil or watercolors can brighten a white wall, or, if you prefer, a simple piece of metal artwork can create a focal point in the bedroom.

As is the way with interior design, the choice of wall art is up to you, but many people prefer to have artwork that clashes with the overall feel of the room, which can create a boho or hipster look, or they opt for it to match the overall color scheme. Even if it is the same color as the wall, it can still create a focal area, but just make sure you don’t hang too many pieces of wall art, or the space may appear cluttered.

Simple Light Fittings

Unless you are looking for a very dramatic look in the bedroom, you should aim to keep the lighting as simple as possible.

In 2023, less is more, and if you need to add more lights to your bedroom, the best way to do this is not with more lights on the ceiling but with more lights on the walls. That’s right! There are many easy-to-install options for bedrooms that will allow you to add some brightness to the room, including sconce lights. All you need to do is drill a hole and attach them, and it is done. If you are renting your home, then it is best not to mess with the wiring, and for this, you can get rechargeable LED sconces, which can be attached to the wall with a removable adhesive.

Position of the Bed

It can be tempting in a smaller bedroom to put the bed into a corner.

However, when you are looking to make the most of your bedroom space, you need to think about where you are going to put the bed. In most design ideas, it is best put facing the door, in the middle of the wall. This will allow it to be the focal point of the room and will also create space around it. 

As for the bed itself, many people opt for beds that have storage built into them. So, a bed that has drawers underneath it is a great way to reduce clutter and free up more space. If your bed has space underneath it, you can still utilize this with boxes or sliding drawers, which will keep all of your belongings in one place.
