5 space saving hacks
Wasted space is the enemy. The answer? Space saving ideas. Here are five hacks to help you get the most out of every square metre of your room.
Smart, space saving bed designs
Beds are arguably the most important fetature in any bedroom, but they often take up a fair amount of space — unless you opt for a bed that doubles up as a storage solution.
Specialised beds for kids
Bunk beds offer double the mattress space in the footprint of just one children’s bed. Or, if you’ve got just the one tot, a multi-functional bed puts drawers and shelves under your kid’s bed at a level they can reach.
Under bed guest beds
For hosting guests, a classic Shaker style bed that stores a hideaway guest bed underneath is a genius space saving idea! At Carpetright we have a whole range of guest beds for you to choose from including more light-weight versions too.
Ottoman beds
Ottoman beds have bags of storage. You can have acres of space under a double, king, or super king sized mattress.
A new way to look at under stairs storage
Slinging random items into the oddly shaped cupboard underneath isn’t very space efficient, but our last set of ideas are.
Shelves, drawers or walk-in storage
Tackling your under stairs storage can be as simple as installing some shelves or drawers to keep your bits and bobs organised and readily available. Or why not take the walk-in approach and go for a modern take on the traditional pantry?
