Planning a new bedroom gives you the chance to create a tranquil haven in a busy home. It's a place where you can relax, read, watch tv or listen to music - and, of course, sleep comfortably.

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, but more often than not it becomes a hiding place for all the little (or big!) things you don’t want visitors to find. This can make it feel at best a little cluttered, and at worst stuffy, stifling and oppressive.

To retain a sense of calm (or at least, controlled chaos) invest in clever furniture and some smart bedroom storage. There are a lot more options than you’d think!
