Why A Small Room Is A Challenge

by Martin Bows SEO Consultant

It is always difficult to furnish a bedroom. It is even more of a challenge to give a small bedroom a make-over, especially if it is with a prospective tenant in mind.

It is difficult enough to decorate a bedroom if it is for your own use, but to furnish one successfully if you are going to let the property out is even more difficult. Problems are compounded if the room is on the small size.

Let us assume that you have the headache to make a small room look larger and still create enough storage space to prevent it from getting cluttered. Before you start, it might be worth your while to have a look what bedroom furniture sets are available on line. Through these packs you have access to a contemporary look at affordable prices.

The companies that provide these sets will mention all the dimensions of the various items contained in these packs.

Before you are going to install any furniture in a room it needs to be painted a very light colour. You should also keep the floor covering light. This will make the room look larger than it really is. If you can afford to do so, have a laminated floor laid. This will trick the eye into believing it is a large airy space.

The bed should be close to the floor in height which will give another illusion of space. Add to this a wardrobe that can hide a dressing table and doubles up as a chest of drawers. This will obviate the necessity to buy separate pieces of furniture and it will give the tenant room to walk about in the limited space available.

The very worst thing that you can do is to pick furniture up from house sales. Used furniture is a big no in the letting world. Although you may let to young professionals, they have a critical eye and they will not want to rent a jaded property.

Youngsters are very fashionable and trendy, especially if they are young professionals and they will not want to be seen dead in a second rate environment.

So the thing is to make sure that everything is more spotless than clean before you show anybody around. A stained mattress will go down like a lead balloon. The furniture packs that are being sold on line will contain everything that you will need to furnish any room in the property and apart from them including a new mattress; they will also provide mattress covers.

Do remember that at the end of the day, you will not be able to put a mattress in the washing machine, but a protector is easily laundered.

I know of a young professional lad who was heart-broken when his landlord decided to sell the property in which he was living. The reason for this was that it suited his taste although the place was not very large. He always looked after the property and its contents as if it was his own because the landlord had furnished the accommodation with such care. Lastly, he lived in an area that he liked with a nice view over a park.

For landlords who are keen to maximise their letting potential and who need to keep an eye on the cost of bedroom furniture sets it is worth having a look at Property Letting Furniture.
