Make your single bed more than just a bed

Single beds are often found in smaller bedrooms. They are used to allow extra space in the already tight conditions. But how can you make your small bed look exciting and eye catching.

Making your bed interesting to look at will immediately brighten your room, and your mood. The first step is to make sure you have it in a suitable position in the room. Single beds tend to look most effective lying along a wall. However, some will opt for it sticking into the middle of the room so that you can access both sides.

If you are opting for the bed along the wall then you can make your bed appear more like a sofa in the day. Purchase an array of cushions that match the décor of your room. Then place them on the bed along the wall, creating the sofa look and extra comfort. In addition to this have a colourful or ornate throw to place over the bed.

If your bed is in the middle of the room you can a make a statement of it being a bed. Plump the pillows up high and make sure you always make your bed in the morning. An addition of a headboard will really add to your single bed. A leather one can look sophisticated and classy, or a brightly coloured one can add a real statement to your room.

Finally, wherever you bed is you can gain extra storage under the bed. Some beds already have built in storage drawers, but if not you can buy low boxes on wheels that will easily roll in and out from under your bed. Then to keep the single bed from looking boxy or untidy have a throw that hangs over the drawer doors or the wheelie boxes. This way you are creating the illusion of extra space by hiding where everything is kept.
