Unusual Towel Holders

You can use a petite sized door knob or drawer pulls as towel holders. Some are silver and pretty shaped or clear crystals that can add a personal touch to such an intimate space.

Incorporating Textured Patterns

Incorporating textured patterns into your decor is a safe and transitional way to add some jazz to your room. It's non-committal and inexpensive but an effective way to make a dramatic difference or a subtle change if thats's what you prefer. The possibilities are endless.

Mirror Illusion

To create the illusion of more space than there actually is, strategically place a mirror two or three feet above eye level and try to reflect it off of a light fixture or something else that reflects light to bounce off of. (I don't recommend a window, though, necessarily). By tilting a mirror out from the bottom a few inches will create a thinning effect.

Bedroom Colors

To promote a restful sleep environment, select relaxing colors such as soft blues, violets, and gentle greens. Stimulating colors such as yellow, oranges, and reds will have a disruptive effect on your well-being.

Headboard Alternative

If you don't want a headboard, you can hang a decorative quilt or a large collage image instead.

Store Beans Beautifully

There are so many different shapes, colors, and texture of beans available (yellow split peas, green split peas, red kidney beans, pink kidney beans, adzuki beans, etc.) Store them in decorative containers and display them for their visual aesthetics and accessibility.

Color Code Your Towels

Designate specific colors for each family member for a cohesive appearance and ease of use. You can also incorporate this practice for guests. Select a bold color that's easy to remember and distinguish from residents.

Be Resourceful with Your Space: Off the Ground

If you have limited floor space, be resourceful. Modern twists offer innovative concepts by taking advantage of wall space. I think many of us ignore the advantages wall space can offer. It's far more abundant and usable if you think creatively. Rather than a CD/DVD rack or a bookshelf, consider wall shelves that can serve the same function. You can even mount a table onto the wall that can drop down when you need a seating area. This can serve as an eating or study area. Just invest in a laptop, which takes up less space. Storage cubes can also serve as decorative pieces and clothes or towel storage units. Instead of purchasing a small table for your knick knacks, you can invest in wall shelves.
