Tips and Tricks for Better Bedrooms

If sheer curtains appeal but you can’t sleep with the moonlight and early morning sunshine streaming in, then fit a slim blackout blind unobtrusively inside the window frame. It won’t show when its rolled up and when unfurled will just look like darkness.

Give white bed linen a new lease of life. Buy satin ribbons or

braiding and sew one band or two a little way in from the hems of

your white pillowcases and sheets. As white bed linen is very often

cheaper you could buy white bed linen and give it a makeover.

Want a pile of cushions on your bed? Find remnants at fabric

stores and use them to make expensive looking cushion covers. The

wedding fabric department often has luscious silk, satin and velvet

pieces at a fraction of the usual price. Foam cushion inners are

inexpensive. 

Sprinkle bed linen with rose or lavender water to give it a

fresh scent. Or use scented laundry waters when ironing your bed

linen.

Buy used curtains and if they are too short lengthen by adding a band of a

matching or contrasting fabric. Different textures also look good.

For example a wide cream colored satin band on plain cream or white Indian

cotton. This trick can also be used to increase width.

Plenty of hanging space but not much else? Buy more hangers and

hang your T shirts, blouses, shirts an

d sweaters, and anything else

that is hang-able. Shops hang them up and so can you!

Make use of under bed space by storing clothes in baskets or

boxes fitted with castors. Alternatively buy a cheap second hand

chest of drawers and fir the drawers with castors.They make

perfect storage units.

Buy clear plastic shoe bags and use the pockets to keep scarves,

belts, socks or any other small items. Hang in your wardrobe or

behind the door. These are also handy in the bathroom for spare

soap, washcloths, toothpaste and shampoo, or anything else you can

think of.

Costume jewelry such as bead necklaces is hard to keep

untangled. Buy the tallest mug tree you can find and hang your beads

on its branches.

To keep your linen organized buy plastic crates of a size to fit

your linen cupboard shelves. Label them: Double Bed Sheets, Single

Sheets, Pillow Slips and so on. Your linen will never get into a

muddle again. If you have open shelves use wicker baskets instead of

plastic.
