2. Call on classic shaker

3. Tonal tricks

Neutral colours instantly make a room seem big and bright. So, go for a white design to give a layout a lift where space is limited.

4. Room to reflect

Make the most of natural light with a gloss fitted bedroom. The polished finish is great for boosting the sense of space.

5. Slide for space

By not swinging, sliding wardrobe doors free up extra floor space. Choose a mirrored option, like @homeattwentytwo, so the room feels bigger.

6. Slimline style

Bifold doors are a smart choice for maximising square footage. They save space by neatly folding, while hiding closet clutter.

7. Sort it with storage

Add shelves, drawers, and rails to a wardrobe to allow items to be stacked vertically, freeing up space providing a roomier appearance.

8. Flowing floors

Follow @red_bricks_at_fortysix's lead by choosing herringbone flooring, which leads the eye to make smaller rooms feel more spacious.

9. Panelling power

Add panelling for vertical lines that pull the focus up to give the illusion of space. @at_home_with_an_image painted them green for a feature wall effect.

11. Finishing flair

12. Compact character

Add cabinet knobs for a compact way to introduce style when room is at a premium. They can also double up as a hanging storage spot.

Brighten Up Bedrooms

Maximising storage is key in smaller spaces, so add bright bedroom lighting to prevent wardrobes from looking dark and cramped. Fit strips to rails or shelves to make it easier to spot essentials.
