It is fair to say that designing and furnishing a room that is perfectly square is quite straightforward and you won’t have too many issues creating a space that is perfect. However, not every room in your home will be this desirable shape and in lots of properties, sloping ceilings or alcoves are common features in upstairs rooms like the master bedroom. 

 

Many homeowners find redesigning an awkwardly shaped bedroom really difficult and they struggle to know how to make the most of the floor space that they do have. Thankfully, with the right know-how and a little bit of creativity, there are lots of ways that you can incorporate the unique features of your bedroom into your new design. So, to help any homeowners who have awkwardly shaped bedrooms, here are some tips to help you create a space that you love. 

 

Opt for made-to-measure furniture

 

When a room is awkwardly shaped, purchasing freestanding pieces of bedroom furniture is very difficult and you can make things much easier for yourself by simply installing fitted furniture instead. Fitted furniture is made-to-measure, meaning it can be installed absolutely anywhere regardless of the size and shape of your bedroom. For example, fitted wardrobes work really well in alcoves and they help you to make the most of this otherwise wasted floor space. 

 

Highlight any unusual features 

 

The awkward features of your bedroom are actually some of the most visually interesting and you should make the most of them. Instead of trying to hide or disguise the ‘imperfections’ in your room, make a statement with them instead and always incorporate them into your bedroom design. Whether you create a beautiful vanity area in an alcove or you build eye-catching storage under your sloped ceiling, highlighting these features is a much better option. 

 

Keep the colour scheme light 

 

You can use colour in lots of different ways and when you have an awkwardly shaped bedroom, you should try to use colour to your advantage. Generally speaking, light and neutral colour schemes work best in rooms that are peculiarly shaped and they can help to prevent any dark and dingy corners. Using lighter colours will also make your bedroom look and feel more spacious too and these colours bounce light around the room. Don’t forget to have multiple light sources in your bedroom as well and try to find unique ways to smartly light awkward areas.

 

Install storage solutions wherever you can 

 

One of the best ways to make the most of an awkwardly shaped bedroom is to install bespoke storage solutions wherever you can. Storage is essential in any bedroom and if you don’t have space for a traditional chest of drawers or bedside table, get creative and turn any impractical areas into useful storage spaces. Think about your individual storage needs and design fitted furniture that can substitute the classic pieces homeowners tend to have in their bedrooms. 

 

Enlist the help of an expert 

 

Attempting to design and furnish any room that is awkwardly shaped by yourself can make the project much more stressful, and it is always worthwhile getting the assistance of an interior designer. They will have experience working in bedrooms that have alcoves and/or sloping ceilings, putting them in the perfect position to help you make the most of every inch of space. They will also have a fresh take on things and lots of ideas you would never have thought of. 

 

Working on a new bedroom design 

 

All in all, whilst redesigning your awkwardly shaped bedroom might seem like an impossible task, there are lots of different ways that you can make the most of the space that you have. So, consider how you can incorporate some of the different tips and ideas mentioned above into your new design and create a beautiful bedroom that meets all of your individual needs.
