bedrooms

A sofa by day, a bed by night. An end table by day, a bedside table by night. This is nothing new, but it’s not the idea that might send off a big ding in your head but just the quick concept that might serve as a reminder.

Like Chests of Drawers the best way to save space with a dresser is by searching for one with legs on it. This will give the illusion that you have more space in your room than you actually do.

Small Chest of drawers are the option you’ll want to take if you like the idea of having something like a dresser but something that isn’t quite as big. If you’re unsure of the difference, generally a dresser is nearly twice as wide as a chest of drawers and is substantially lower. It is often also either accompanied by a mirror or a hutch.

This sturdy, heavy duty, handsome, commercial quality Folding Rolling Garment rack made from chrome has rubber wheels and can easily hold the weight of 150 lbs. of clothing on it at a time. Now you can instantly add hanging space for your extra clothes in your closet, garage, storage room and attic.

Using a Small Nightstand Table is another combination method that will replace a dresser and save you a good portion of floor space. Like all other alternatives, simply rely heavily on your closet to take care of larger clothing and then use a nightstand to store lighter clothing articles, such as undergarments.

Lingerie chests are ideal replacement for a dresser because they are much smaller. Not only are they tall but they are also lean which means they take up substantially less floor space. Like a dresser, you’d simply use a lingerie chest to store your undergarments while your closet works in favor of storing your larger clothing.

Using Plastic Storage Carts is another combination method when you want to get rid of an over-sized dresser and use the space for other purposes. Like the other methods, you would combine the use of a storage cart with the use of a closet.

The Underbed Plastic Storage Boxes are no exception to the rule. They offer you another combination method at an affordable price. Like with closet systems and storage beds, they offer you another way to save space by eliminating the dresser in a small bedroom.

If you have a small bedroom, the goal of saving space is your number one priority. In many cases this may mean using multi-purpose furniture, or in like this case, you may simply want to eliminate a piece of furniture.

I just love my daughter’s room. We just painted last week and the soft pink just makes the room glow. There are so many things I love about her room. The shelves above the bed help keep things off of the floor as does the headboard/shelves.

I think this small bedroom is the best, because it is so in style with Hannah Montana bedspread and accessories. My granddaughter who lives with us enjoys the bedroom every day. She is a Hannah Montana fan. This was her very first bedroom, too.

Our nursery is in a home 100+ years old. We wanted vibrancy, no pastels and chose eggshell walls (6 coats!) with candy-apple trim and black accents. Daddy hand-made the crib. Best part: totally unfinished when I went into labor a month early, daddy completed it in 36 hours!

I think my room is the best because even though its small, I made the best of its space. I think my room is especially good because it has a theme to it. Nothing fancy, just a color theme: red, black and white.

I just did my room over because we had a small flood in our house at Christmas time. My mom said I can do what I want, so I scraped together all my creative juices and came up with this. It is beautiful and unique, just like me.

Every time that I enter my small room I am very proud of the ways in which I have organized it. My small bedroom is the best, first of all, because it is romantically pleasing to the eyes and inviting to the soul.

I think my small bedroom is the best because it is the perfect place for dreaming whether I am awake or asleep. It is decorated with all the things that make me happy, and to be quite honest, it is where I keep most of my possessions that I use on a daily or nightly basis.

We painted all four walls a pale grey and put down silver/grey carpet. The room was lacking something, and just looked like a small grey box. I added wallpaper with a white background and grey, black and white stripes to one solid wall in the room.

This was a fairly newer home and after a couple of years I got tired of the white walls. The furniture was left over from the post college collection and I wanted to be proud of where my guests would stay when they come visit.

My small bedroom is a winner because of its uncluttered look, and unique fusion of French and Asian themes. My walls were antiqued by me in a soft buttery toffee color with white glaze, making the occupant feel they are in the bedroom of chateau.

This bedroom, in Boulder, Colorado, was once intended as an enclosed porch so two of the walls are actually large windows. I took advantage of the natural light by hanging gauze curtains which provided a warm, dreamy atmosphere.
