Lighting: Brightness is directly proportional to your attentiveness. The brighter your bedroom is the more alert you will feel, the darker your bedroom is the more inactive your will become. It is simple philosophy. Therefore it is important to have dynamic preset lighting that can be changed depending on the atmosphere you want to set. Dimmer switches will let you soften the light in your bedroom, creating a restful state.

It is extremely important to create an illuminate balance in your bedroom. The goal is to find the median of both extremes; light in only one corner of the bedroom or fluorescence flooding. You can counter this by setting up centralized ceiling lights that is set geometrically with even spaces between each fixture. This should highlight every inch of your room. Avoid floor lamps since it creates an uneven focus. Take the help of mirrors to reflect light in spaces that may be ignored.

Storage: First make sure the bedroom is free of clutter. In a bedroom you don’t have much space and with the addition of clutter you don’t want to box yourself in with tons of personal items. Try and make sure that you find a proper place for everything in your bedroom. Don’t be afraid to throw stuff away that you don’t use anymore. A bed on average covers up to 42 square feet of space, so why not use space underneath your bed for storage. There are many options available.

You can use clear plastic bags or bins designed for under the bed. Another idea is to make a underbed drawer out of an old dresser drawer by adding a handle and wheels to the bottom. Just make sure the items in the box are also sealed in a bag to protect the items. Any kind of old boxes like hat boxes can also be used. Your bedroom closet can also be maximized for storage space. Before storing in the closet, analyse what you want to access on a daily basis. Try to minimize drawer use in the closet rather hang your T-shirts, sweaters etc. in an open shelf where you can see them at a first glance. Its hard to find such things in a drawer. Use the drawers only for items that don’t fold well, for instance socks, underwears etc. Avoid placing your shoes on the floor because they will probably end up in a mixed pile. Instead keep them in individual cubbies. Take advantage of your high ceilings and thing vertically. Consider remove drywall and creating recessed spaces between the studs. You can also use a headboard with cabinets.
