Amanda Pollard added this to Budget Bedroom Decorating: Save on This, Spend on That
Invest in: Useful storageA sleep space should be calm and restful, so a ‘floordrobe’ full of heaped clothes just won’t cut the mustard. In order to keep your bedroom uncluttered, it’s essential to have good storage. Invest in the most practical wardrobe you can afford, and pay attention to how sturdy it is and how many items it will hold. If you do have some extra budget, it might be worth paying for some bespoke joinery, too. The shelving unit here is brilliantly practical for lining up books you intend to tackle and is even fitted with a couple of flush reading lights.10 bedside storage ideas to complete your sleep space

4. A bookshelfBedroom book nooks are the place for about-to-reads, favourites to which you’ll always return, or (whisper it) the volumes you’re not willing to loan out. Even a small bedroom can accommodate one if you opt for over-the-bed shelving like this, which won’t impinge on the floor area. (Over the door is another good use of dead space.)Alternatively, built-in shelving along one side of the room can work in bigger spaces, while a display opposite the end of the bed makes for a pleasing view when you’re tucked up.What to put behind your bed?
