Good things come in small packages! Whatever that adage really means remains a mystery to many, but it surely comes to mind when you set eyes on a well-organized small master bedroom.
It sounds impossible, but better believe in yourself; you can make a big fuss out of your tiny sleeping area and grab the attention of the few who ever step into this private room.
The Catch, and the Remedy to a Small Bedroom
The primary problem for many tiny bedroom owners is clutter. Nothing disorganizes you like a cluttered space! It’s true, even if you won’t admit it! Disorder can take a toll on your design and proceed to affect your productivity.
The opposite is true for an organized space—no matter how small it is. The secret to a tiny room is eliminating clutter and arranging the essentials carefully and thoughtfully.
You’re probably worried about extra space because you haven’t calculated how much more you’d spend to decorate, accessorize and remodel it from time to time.
Consider your tiny space a blessing (not a curse) because more space often means more problems, which naturally translates to a larger budget.
Your Strategy in this Project
Here’s how to plan your small master bedroom project.
- Plan your time. Determine the amount of time you have and plan.
- Remove everything and start afresh to use your space better.
- Be thorough with your decluttering. Do away with the unnecessary.
- Organize what’s left into “remove” or “keep” for further decluttering.
- Make the most of your space without squeezing things.
- Furnish with décor
And of course, you can paint walls and rework your floor, before you start rearranging (step 4), if you’re doing a complete makeover.
