With house prices shooting up it is a much better idea to do up your home than try to move. Who can afford that at the moment anyway? Here is some tips from Warren Evans on how to design a small bedroom.

Award winning bed maker, Warren Evans says: “When you’re designing a small bedroom it’s so important to ensure that every inch of space is used wisely. Take advantage of any unusual architectural feature in the room, such as an alcove or a bay window that could fit a bespoke storage box or shelves.

“De-clutter. Get rid of any bits that you don’t need and decide exactly what needs to be in your bedroom so you know how much drawer or hanging space you need.

“Invest in space efficient furniture like our Space Saving or Divan range at Warren Evans. Under bed storage is ideal as it’s the perfect place to keep your belongings while hiding them from sight. For example, our new range of fitted drawers has the capacity to carry an impressive 365 litres – that’s around 36 pairs of shoes!

“Having mirrors on the wall is also a great way of creating the illusion of having more space. And sticking to fabrics and furniture that are similar colours will also help to make the room look more spacious.”
