We all strive to create and maintain a beautiful, neat and organised home, but often it can be difficult just to keep on top of the housework, let alone find the time to reorganise, re-plan or redecorate!

 The bedroom is of particular significance, because getting up in a hurry and coming home tired can make it all too easy for the bedroom to be neglected and messy. However, it’s particularly important to create a comfortable, attractive and organised bedroom, as it’s an incredibly personal space and it’s where you start and end your day.

 Given the necessity for create and maintain a beautiful bedroom space, but the contradiction that so few of us have the time to do so, we’ve put together a list of hacks that could help you to craft your ideal bedroom and get the most of the space; allowing you to wake up happier!

1. Get a better night’s sleep by taking technology out of the bedroom

 There’s no cosier space to unwind than our own beds, and so there’s an obvious appeal to curling up in bed to watch a film, but it’s actually better to keep the TV in the living room. It’s not just television, using screens in general just before bed can disrupt your sleeping pattern, so for a good nights sleep its best to try to keep technology out of the bedroom.

2. Creative under-bed storage solutions

 Unless you’re blessed with a huge bedroom, finding space to store everything is likely to be a problem – even if you have the space, you may not necessarily want everything on display. Under-bed storage can free up space in your bedroom helping you to keep it organised and tidy.

 There are many options available such the crafty storage bed pictured above, or alternatively, a few boxes or wicker baskets under the bed will do the trick.

3. A wall or bed mounted nightstand

 Screws, brackets and a piece of wood cut to the correct size can be used to create a quick and easy nightstand; simply attach the new shelving solution to your bed or the wall beside it.

4. Build a few bookshelves

 High, wall-mounted shelving is a great way to free up space in your room by adding extra storage, and simple shelving can be created with screws, brackets and a piece of wood as with the nightstand.

 An alternative is to use longer brackets mounted to the wall – forgoing the actual wooden shelf - and instead close a large book around the bracket so that the bracket rests between the last page and the cover of the book; finally stack smaller books on top. The result will be an amazing arrangement of floating books on your wall looking similar the shelving pictured above.

5. Magically add height to your bedroom

 A simple way to make your bedroom appear larger is to paint half the walls, as half painted walls create the illusion of higher ceilings.

6. Build your own bed

 Beds can be costly and difficult to transport, so a simple alternative solution could be to build your own using a few cheap pallets.

7. Upcycle

 Building upon point number six, upclying in general – taking a disused item and repurposing it to create something of higher value – can be a cheap and creative way to redecorate your bedroom. In the example above, old skateboard parts have been used to create a cool coat hook.

 However, bear in mind cost savings come from upcyling yourself, products made by professional may not be cheaper alternatives.

8. Add life and colour to the room with plants

 A simple way to add colour add vibrancy to your bedroom is to invest in a few potted plants. Well-placed plants around the room will improve the space drastically and make for a happier home.
