Space-Saving Tips
Saving space in a small bedroom requires a strategic approach to organisation and furniture selection. If you’re planning to shift to a new house and the bedrooms are small, here’s how you can save your space.
Utilise Vertical Space
Make use of walls by installing shelves, wall-mounted organisers, or tall storage units. Vertical storage helps free up floor space and keeps belongings organised and accessible.
Choose Multipurpose Furniture
Opt for furniture pieces that serve dual purposes, such as a bed with built-in drawers for storage, an ottoman with hidden storage, or a desk that can also function as a vanity.
Foldable and Stackable Furniture
Consider foldable or stackable furniture options that can be easily stowed away when not in use, such as folding chairs, collapsible tables, or nesting tables.
Keep It Clutter-Free
Minimise clutter by regularly decluttering and organising belongings. Utilise storage solutions like baskets, bins, and organisers to keep items tidy and easily accessible.

Now that we’ve shared some space-saving tips, here are a few vanity tables with tabletop lengths around 40 to 50cm that are small enough to fit into most rooms.
