Having plenty of storage for your clothes and other important items in your bedroom is key, but it can be tricky, especially in smaller bedrooms. Closets are always great, but if your closet runs out of room other options become necessary, and it can be hard to balance out storage needs and style. With a bit of planning, though, any room can have plenty of space without sacrificing any of your sense of style.

The most important first step is to measure the space you have. Be sure to measure vertically as well as horizontally – most wardrobes and dressers are fairly tall, and blocking a window or a picture would be a terrible outcome. Figure out a large, clear space where you can easily access your new storage and where it won’t block access to your other furniture.

Next, of course, is deciding what style of storage you want for that space. There are three main options – dressers, wardrobes, and armoires – along with various fusions, and they all have their pros and cons.

Dressers are the smallest option, and are perfect for more compact spaces. Generally the shortest choice, dressers have plenty of room for clothing, but only allow for folded clothing. For those who already have a large closet and just need extra room for socks and the like, they’re probably the best choice. What’s more, many bedroom furniture sets come with dressers, allowing you to easily match them to your room’s style needs.

Wardrobes offer more hanging room, but generally have no drawers – they’re best if you have no closet or very little closet space, and can be a great place for shoes and the like. They fill a lot of space, but given the variety of modern and traditional wardrobe designs, they can easily become centerpieces for your room or disappear into it as you see fit.

Armoires are a hybrid option and offer the best of both options – at the cost of space, as they take up a good amount of vertical room. Many armoires have a wardrobe-like space to hang clothes on top of a set of drawers, which can be an ideal option for someone with no closet and not too many outfits. Others contain space for a TV instead of the wardrobe, giving you a stylish way to have a television in your room that won’t get in your way. There are other styles of armoire as well with options like shelving space and the like, but the most basic versions are the above.

Having a small amount of space to work with doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. With these simple clothes storage options, keeping your bedroom and bedroom furniture elegant and clutter-free has never been easier.

Choosing the right colors for your bedroom furniture can be the most important step of choosing your bedroom décor. The right colors will create a relaxing, intimate environment, while the wrong ones will lead to sleepless nights and not getting nearly enough rest. In addition, of course, color choice can help you define your personal style. While color choices in a bedroom environment are somewhat more limited due to the need for relaxation, there’s still plenty of room to choose something for your bed, wardrobe, and rugs that will match the rest of your house.

The main decision to make is between warm colors and cool colors. Both can be used effectively in a bedroom, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks psychologically.

Warmer tones lead to a sense of safety and contentment, and do indeed warm up a room. In addition, there is an edge of sensuality to warmer tones, making it perfect for a couple’s bedroom. Reds, browns, softer oranges, and even certain forms of white and black, are all perfect for a warm-toned bedroom. This is also one of the easier color layouts to find, thanks to the preponderance of warmly-toned wood finishes out there.

In general, softer, subtler shades are better for warm-toned bedroom sets – sets that are too bright may end up being too energizing, having the wrong effect. Go for earthy reds and browns, rather than vivid ones. Of course, for those trying to create a certain effect with their décor – and those who can sleep easily – more bright reds can work out well.

Cooler colors like blue, purple, and green have a tranquilizing effect, easing stress and promoting serenity. Blue is particularly effective for this psychologically, and can easily calm you down after a hard day’s work. In general, green should be used primarily for accenting, rather than as the main shade for one of these rooms – although, of course, there are exceptions.

Unlike with warmer colors, saturated but darker colors are the ideal for a cool-toned bedroom set – too unsaturated and the bedroom may end up giving a cold, impersonal appearance. The ideal is darker blues that resemble the evening sky and accent colors that contribute to that impression.

Pure white bedrooms are an option, of course, but generally come off as too cold. Unless saturated with a warmer or more vivid accent, pure white can end up having an imposing effect. If you’re looking to use white as your main color, accent it – a black frame can ease the effect considerably, or consider pillows or side furniture in blue, green, or red.

The key thing is to decide on a color theme and do your best to stick with it. Contemporary furniture is available in a variety colors and styles, so anything can be designed around. Just choose a basic shade group, choose appropriate accents and furniture pieces, and enjoy.
