Small bedroom help!
My boyfriend and I are moving into my aunts house next weekend, and going from a HUGE bedroom, to a room maybe a quarter of the size. We have A LOT of stuff and most of it seems to be mine.
What we have in our current room...
* Queen sized bed
* Large entertainment unit (fits tv, ps3, dvd player, small collection of dvds/games plus some mugs and glasses; stereo and other junk lives on top of it)
* 2 small bedside bookcases
* Small wooden desk + chair
* Small set of plastic drawers (3 drawers)
* 1 longish set of drawers (6 drawers) that also serves as my dressing table
* 2 upwards sets of drawers (4 drawers on one, 4 drawers and 2 small drawers on the other)
* Free standing shelf (3 shelves)
Plus we have a massive built in wardrobe that stores a bunch more crap...
In the new room, there is enough room for a bed (there is already a double bed in there and there is nowhere else for it to go so we have to use it and store our bed somewhere), there's a nook that will fid the entertainment unit perfectly, there'a s small built in wardrobe that is already full of my shit thats being stored, and a small space for a set of drawers or other storage device... not much room at all :(
The house has two lounges and since the smaller one is next to our room we're allowed to put some of our stuff in it, but its already got heaps of shit so we really can't put all that much in it. I've lived in this room before by myself, but 95% of my stuff was in storage at the time, and I was sleeping on a sofa bed.
Any ideas on how we could set the room out so that its not completely cluttered, but so that it has everything we need?
I have a feeling I'm going to have to sell some stuff, but I don't want to sell TOO much because the plan is for us to live with my aunt and uncle for around a year, and put $20 a week each into our savings account so that by this time next year we will have enough money for a bond for our own little 1 or 2 bedroom place.
