Fortunately we are progressing at a good pace in the de-escalation and we are gradually recovering exterior space and routines from before in various places, we do not know if in the future we will have to relive a new confinement, but what is certain is that there are changes in our life that have come to stay and that the house has to adapt to them.
We are in the perfect moment to carry out the reforms or renovations without works that allow us to have the house improved and meeting the needs of this “new normal”. For example, Although the bedroom is small, we may need to incorporate a telework corner in it or an area for video calls or maybe a place to do some exercise … The key is to optimize the use of space to the maximum.
Play with bed orientation
First of all, we can play with furniture orientation. Many times at home we have the furniture placed in an arrangement and although we make changes, we are reluctant to change that basic arrangement. It is time to ask ourselves if the one we have is the one that best uses the space or if there may be more interesting options. The idea is, basically, to specify on which wall it is more rewarding to put the headboard. The one in the photo, in graphite color costs 129 euros and is from Kave Home.
Distribute the wardrobe well
Another key aspect is the organization of the wardrobe. A wardrobe well distributed and well organized It will allow us to dispense with other storage modules and therefore will help us save space. Many times the cabinets have a hanging bar and little else and it is important that we complement with other organizers, there are very cheap fabric with several levels on Amazon for 13.99 euros, for example.

Hanging or wall-mounted bedside tables
Traditionally the nightstand has been an essential element in the bedroom, but it is not so much anymore. If need a support point next to the bed, but there are options that take up much less than traditional bedside tables such as hanging or wall-mounted bedside tables like these from La Redoute that cost 109 euros.
Paint in light tones
Painting in light tones or incorporating a mirror in the room will not make it bigger than it is, but it will help us perceive it that way. That is, if we have to incorporate enough furniture in the room to give it various uses, a clear paint will help us make the room even lighter and not overwhelming.

Minimize curtains
Something similar happens with the curtains, if we choose curtains of thick fabric, of intense color or with a lot of weight, that will lead to an overload the atmosphere of the room. Thus one way to lighten that environment is by opting for sheers or curtains in light tones and fine fabric that allows free circulation of light.

Take advantage of height and space under bed
Returning with more key aspects and that really save space, there is the issue of taking advantage of the highest and lowest areas. Normally we furnish with only the surface, we think in two dimensions, instead of thinking in three and that leads us to occupy more square meters than necessary. It is important to take advantage of the height of the bedroom, which is often considerable and goes a long way, and also the area under the bed, for example, with boxes or storage bags like the one shown in Amazon, in a set of two, 16 , 97 euros.

Modular or custom furniture
The bespoke furniture is ideal for a 100% use of spaceIf this option is too expensive for us, today we have the possibility of opting for modular furniture, such as the IKEA EKET line that we can configure according to our needs in very different ways.
Folding or folding desk
And once we have followed all possible strategies, when it comes to integrating the work space in the bedroom, we still have the option to do it with a folding or folding wall desk. That way we can collect it when we are not using it so that the space is as free as possible. The one in the photo costs on Amazon 123.41 euros.
