2. Corner shelves are your friend

A little shelf goes a long way.

A little shelf action will surprise you. Even a small, narrow shelf can hold a few of the bedside essentials like phone, books, night light, candles and more.

3. Use every inch of space to hang clothes

Got a work wardrobe or uniform? Hang your day-to-day work essentials on a mini rail and clear space in your wardrobe for shoes and bags. This works wonderfully in a spare nook or corner of your bedroom, and even saves you time in the mornings!

4. Tuck your bed into a nook or cranny

Beautiful boudoir.

The easiest way to maximise your space is to tuck your bed into a corner or alcove. Try every different angle, even if both ends are between two walls – if it fits, it sits.

5. Hang your clothes to make a focal point

It’s so quick and easy to attach ceiling hooks and hang your clothes hangers to spectacular effect. It’s a smart way to hang up your week day wardrobe and looks pretty nice too.

6.Make a floating desk

Have you ever noticed how many desks or consoles in hotel rooms are wall-mounted? Legs take up a lot of space so to maximise the floor area they use floating desks. If you attached a strong shelf it can be used as a bedside table, dressing table and more. 

7. Double your desk up as a bed side table

Anything that has to uses is a winner.

If you only require a desk occasionally or don’t have room for a standard size, use a small table as a bed side table. You can pop a stool or pouffe underneath it to use when it’s needed for a table. IKEA have a great selection of stylish yet affordable side tables.

8. Purchase cheap bedside organisers

If you do one thing from this list, make sure it’s this one. You can get a 5 pocket Bedside Caddy Organiser for just £5.96 from Amazon. they hand underneath your bed and can hold all those bits and bobs – magazines, socks, books etc.

9. Don’t ignore the space behind your bedroom & wardrobe doors

From hanging rails to a multi-purpose coat hooks and a mirror, there’s almost nothing you can’t screw to the back of your wooden bedroom or wardrobe door.
