Do you struggle to get from one side of your room to the other? As good as living in London can be. We all know it means living in a small house, with a small bedroom. No one likes to feel small, but if it's because you're in a spacious bedroom, that's got to be good, surely?
Here's our comprehensive guide:
Tip One: Install Some Ceiling Shelves
Throughout the whole time you've been a resident of your home, do you recall a time you've used the space just below the ceiling? It's true, the 12 inches below a ceiling, is probably the most abandoned framework within any home or building. Also, if you're feeling bad about that present you got given two years ago, which you've never had the chance to use. Place it on the shelves along with the rest of them, there's no need for that kind of cluster!
Professional Ceiling Shelf Tips:
- Install floating shelves 6-8 inches below the ceiling

- Display books, plants, or decorative objects
- Ensure proper mounting for safety

It's 2018, everyone has at least one form of technology or more. Even most children have their very own smartphone or tablet.
