Make the most of what you’ve got with these fab, space-saving decor tricks.

No headboard? No problem. Just paint one on the wall. Make it look like the pattern that’s on your bedding.

Small space got you feeling a bit snug? Opt for a platform-style bed that’s fully loaded with extra under-bed storage compartments. Skip the clunky bedside tables. Under-bed storage keeps things neatly tucked away; the open display let’s you find them fast.

Ledge work counts. Turn a spare surface into a shelf for holding the necessities like a radio. Come on --tunes will wake up any sluggish, just-rolled-outta-bed routine.

Let a classic chair assume the role of holding bedside items. Pile ‘em on!

Use every inch, like unexpected corner spots on the floor.

Light up your room with a cascading brass shade, ideal for bedside reading.
