Effectively managing the available space in your bedroom is a key factor in creating a relaxing area where you can get the best night's sleep.A cramped and cluttered bedroom can be a cause of major stress,but a few simple measures can make a real difference.

If you feel that your bedroom is too small, take a look at the position of your bed. Pushing it against a wall or turning it around could leave your room feeling much roomier.If this fails, consider whether your bed might be too big for the room.Swapping a king size for a queen size or a regular double could make for a better fit.

If lack of storage space is making your room look and feel cluttered,consider a bed with storage compartments.These are an increasingly popular fixture,as they provide plentiful storage space for clothes or books,but they're subtle and easily concealed.

It's also worth taking a look at how much you really need to store in your room. It can be tempting to hoard most of your possessions within arm's reach, but you might consider transferring some items into a guest room if you have one.Little-used items could even ...
... be stored in an attic or basement.Try to be dispassionate about it - do you really need quick access to these items 24/7,at the cost of a nicer room? Even your wardrobe could go in a spare room if it's close enough to your bedroom to be convenient.Try it out - you can always put things back later if you find that the extra space isn't worth it.
Believe it or not, even something as simple as repainting or wallpapering your room can make a huge difference.Lighter colours can really open up the room,whereas darker colours can make your room feel a little depressing and cramped. You may be surprised what a big difference a few small changes could make!
