No matter how large or small your bedroom, the key to creating a calm, clutter-free environment is sensible storage. Whether you prefer the cleverly concealed approach or an ordered display, take time to plan your storage needs and you’ll soon have the perfect space in which to relax and unwind.

Ottoman storage beds are the ultimate space saver, as they don’t take up any extra floor space yet provide ample room for spare blankets, throws and pillows as well as last season’s clothes if your wardrobe is fit to burst. Handmade designs from Button & Sprung are available with a variety of storage options in everything from modern minimal designs to elegant French-inspired styles and a sumptuous selection of fabrics and colours.

Traditional blanket boxes can also be used to complement, providing a dual-purpose seat with concealed storage within. Perfect for cushions or an ever-growing book collection, choose a matching fabric for a coordinated look or a contrasting colour for instant impact.

Fitted furniture is  often used for period properties as it can make the most of awkward areas such as eaves, alcoves and sloping ceilings whereas freestanding wardrobes, dressers, chests of drawers and armoires take up more space but will create a flexible design as you can add to them as you go and update the scheme as trends change.

Whichever option you choose, consider how many clothes you have and the type of storage they need, whether it’s full height hanging rails for dresses and suits, deep drawers for t-shirts and tops or pull-outs for shoes and accessories.

Another way to keep the floor area clear, which promotes a feeling of space, is to use floating shelves or box units to display favourite pieces. It’s a great way of personalising your bedroom with framed photos and prints, books, vases and treasured items.
