Sharing a small space with roommates
Stay organised, stay friends
Handy storage for everything is generally a good recipe for getting along, not least in the hallway. A shelf for shoes keeps the floor from getting cluttered, and hooks and baskets set you up for a smoother flow with your things in check.
Curtains for privacy
It’s nice to have company, but you will probably need alone-time too. Just draw the curtain and you will have the space all to yourself. It’s also a cosy way of cocooning the bed before bedtime.
A rug for double softness
When you are living with many people it can easily get a bit noisy. A big rug makes the acoustics in the room more pleasant, and its colours, patterns and textures can also add a visual boost.
Introducing the bedside box
If you feel that a bedside table is a bit too square, try a box. It gives you generous, easy-access storage and the castors let you swoosh it to right where it’s needed.
The best pillow is your pillow
When it comes to sleeping, your tried-and-tested pillow is probably your best buddy. So, if you’re going somewhere, bring it with you for restful nights with a homey feeling.
The right shade gets the bed made
When you double the bedspace, you need to double up on bedding as well. With bed linen in different colours for each roommate it’s easy to avoid confusion in the laundry.
Systemise with a splash of colour
A bit of paint on your untreated wood furniture helps you divide things up without actual dividers. If you make it a theme throughout your shared space, it's easy to tell what is what and whose is whose.
