1. Make the most of mirrors

As a place where we store clothes and get dressed in the morning, it is important to make furniture work twice as hard in our bedrooms. By selecting mirrored panels for a built-in wardrobe, you create a dedicated space to store clothes out of sight, which also doubles up as a spot for grooming and getting dressed.

2. Settle on sliding

For a cohesive look both inside and out of your bedroom space, we recommend following @jfjoinery’s lead. They have adapted an internal doorway for their in-built storage by pairing it with sliding hardware, which is compatible with both our sliding and internal panels. This has allowed them to coordinate the doorways with the rest of their home.

3. Tidy up toys

There is nothing worse than taking a step into a child’s bedroom to be met with mess, or worse – stepping on a wayward toy. Properly organising and stowing away belongings reduces clutter and also eliminates those hazards. Using shelves and other wardrobe fixtures makes tidying up simple and playtime more accessible.

4. Create a custom dresser

Dedicated space to comfortable get ready is often overlooked, and for a great alternative to freestanding furniture, why not use our cabinetry to create a bespoke piece. @just_off_the_green has used bold black drawers and tall units to create a statement dresser, complete with a discreet dressing table. Neatly hiding clothes from view, they now have a one-of-a-kind wardrobe.

5. Delve into drawers

If you are fortunate enough to have the added space, then building in a walk-in wardrobe can be a great way to keep bedrooms neat and tidy. This spacious dressing room from @sangster_co_joinery makes the most of the extra storage by using open shelving alongside our drawer fittings to add room for organising smaller items and making them easy to access.

6. Fall for folding

Keeping the room feeling spacious and uncluttered is crucial to a calming bedroom atmosphere. Compact bi-fold fittings neatly fold in to give access to clothes inside, without protruding much into the room. They are an excellent alternative to sliding wardrobes and are easy for your trade professional to install.

7. Keep a handle on design

When it comes to any interior design, the devil is in the detail, and even the simplest accessory can make all the difference. Tying together matching handgrips between rooms is an effective way of adding a consistent feature in all living areas, including bedrooms. Opting for complementary packs will ensure a match with each installation.

8. Keeping things compact

The last thing you need in a compact area is bulky doorways swinging into the room and taking up valuable space. @pebblescottagereno have crafted this clever small bedroom idea by fitting a sliding mechanism on this entrance to their compact en-suite. This maintains easy access, so no home comforts need to be compromised.

9. Find flowing floors

When designing a new bedroom, it is important to think beyond furniture and look down at the floor. Incorporating matching vinyl boards in a bedroom and en-suite allows for a flawless design flow between the two rooms. Vinyl is also water-resistant and hardwearing, offering a durable fit for both spaces.

10. Cleaning up after kids

As much as we love them, kids are not always the cleanest members of a household – especially when it comes to floors. Scuffs, spilt drinks, and leftover food can be a nightmare to deal with, so choosing low-maintenance floorboards is key. Laminate can be wiped or mopped clean with ease, eliminating marks or stains and keeping it hygienic.
