With many of us
still spending
more time
at home it’s
given us all an
opportunity
to access our
needs in the
home. For that
clutter free,
practical living good storage solutions seem to be top of
everyone’s list this year – especially in the bedroom.
Jonathan Ryder, Product Designer at Gliderobes shares
his tips on bedroom storage and colour trends for Spring
2022.
In small areas you need to be clever in terms of storage
solutions, décor and lighting to create the illusion of space
and make the most of the area you have.
The obvious storage solution in bedrooms are wardrobes
but do think about investing in bespoke sliding wardrobes
which can be made to measure to your exact needs.
At Gliderobes unlike other suppliers we don’t use
standard door sizes, ‘your’ wardrobe is made to ‘your’
exact size. The wardrobe interior, just like the exterior
is fully customisable too so we can ensure flexibility and
functionality.
You will need to
consider the amount
of shelving or drawers
to hanging space,
remember drawers
look good but they take
up more room than
shelving or hanging
space compared to what they can actually store.
When you’re going through your check list of storage
needs, don’t forget about integrated lighting – a feature
available both internally and externally, these lights can be
remote control or on sensors and easily rechargeable with
a USB port
To draw the eye around the room, use wardrobe doors
which have horizontal decorative spilt bars this will
enhance the proportions of the space and making the
room feel much wider.
If you use various shades of the same colour this can
visibly expand the space too, and of course using mirrors
and reflective surfaces like glass will reflect light back into
the room, again making the space seem bigger.
Over recent years wooden headboards have dominated
the key look in bedrooms over but in 2021 upholstery is
back. So have the best of both with our made to measure
wood and upholstered headboards. And once you’re
tucked up in bed, you’ll need to keep everything within
arm’s reach with our matching bedside tables.
For a warm, cosy feel indulge yourself in textures and
sumptuous colours like rich creams and caramels. They’ll
make your bedroom elegant but for a sense of well-being
in your personal space use soft pastel colours for a fresh
look that will ease and re-energise the senses.
