Bedsitters can pose massive challenges; especially if you’re short on closets and have a tone of clothes you need to fit in!
Indeed, your current financial setup could be forcing you to resign yourself to a bedsitter at the current moment.
But that shouldn’t make you despair! Here’s how you can turn that bedsitter into your own slice of heaven on earth!
First things first, think about functionality
When you’re working with limited space, each item you bring to the home ‘should serve a purpose.’
You need to consider not only the size of every piece you bring in, but also how it will function in the space.
For example, what’s the point of bringing 4 lampshades when you could just take two? This is especially if you’re downgrading.
Opt for multipurpose pieces:
When in a bedsitter, the more multifunctional the furnishing the better.
Maximize your bedroom storage by looking into furniture that pulls double duty by offering storage space.
Storage beds and bookshelf/room dividers as prime opportunities to get maximum utility from your decor.
Pay attention to scale
Oversized pieces of furniture don’t make very much sense in a small space. So, observe with scale
Big heavy pieces typically aren’t your friend when designing a small bedroom. Instead, look for tall pieces with small footprints, that will draw the eye up and allow you to maximize vertical space.
Take advantage of wall space
Wall-mounted storage looks good while also creating a space to stash stuff in a bedsitter. It can “liven up vacant walls and give purpose to underutilized areas.
Vertical storage, especially wall-mounted shelving, gives the illusion of a more spacious room.
