Small Meditation Space In Bedroom
Read these smart decorating tricks for creating an airy feel and additional storage in your bedroom.
An amazing 33% of us wish we could make our bedrooms bigger and create more space for storage, according to a survey by fitted furniture specialists Hammonds.
1. Perfectly fitted
'Freestanding furniture and bulky accessories can make a room feel cramped and untidy,' says Richard Hammonds of fitted furniture specialists Hammonds. 'Built-in storage offers a practical solution for belongings,' he suggests, and 'opting for white furniture and adding mirrors to wardrobe doors opens up the room even more'. He also recommends sliding doors for wardrobes: 'They free up valuable floor space and you don't have to compromise on the storage options inside.'
Embrace a room's quirky features and make them work for you; an empty area under a window or in a bay can be fitted with a window seat with practical drawers beneath. 'Sloping ceilings and awkward corners don't have be a problem,' adds Richard. 'Fitted furniture slots around these features make use of every inch of space.'

2. Decorating tricks
Getting the colour right is key. 'Soft, soothing hues such as Pale Powder, Cromarty and Green Blue are perfect for creating a relaxing, calm scheme,' says Joa Studholme, international colour consultant at Farrow & Ball. 'These muted, watery shades bounce light around,' she says. Using a single shade in a room will also help create a sense of space, as with no contrasts you're less aware of where things start and stop. 'Paint the walls, skirtings and ceilings Cabbage White for an airy feel,' she suggests.
Julie Begbie, deputy director of studies at KLC School of Design, recommends that as well as editing belongings you should edit your ideas. 'Be as bold as you like but only in one area!' she advises. She also suggests defining your focal point using a strong hue or pattern: 'Behind the bed works well so try painting a bold block of colour the width of your bed as a vertical stripe the full height of the wall and continue this onto the ceiling by 50cm to 1m to create the illusion of a canopy; combine with wall-hung box shelves instead of bedside cabinets, with plug-in pendant lights hung either side of the bed to free up space.'
If the bed is a focal point, keep window treatments simple so they don't compete; Roman blinds or shutters work well in a small space – avoid curtains that pool on the floor as they can make the room look and feel cluttered.
As with everything, sometimes it's good to break the rules, so if you're after a more dramatic scheme you could go dark. 'Bold earthy hues can be used to great effect to create an intimate and cosy feel,' says Julie.
3. Beds and more
Button & Sprung 
Invest in a bed that's more than just a place to sleep. Button & Sprung has a beautiful range of upholstered storage designs featuring either handy drawers or lift-up bases, which are ideal if you need to store bulky items.
Bedside tables also need to work hard – look out for styles with roomy drawers to help keep the top clutter free. Ikea's Selje bedside table has a built-in wireless charger, so there are no unsightly wires beside the bed, creating a cleaner look.
