Underbed Storage
"I'm a huge fan of platform beds with dressers underneath," Bobby Berk says. "There's so much real estate under your bed that can be maximized with proper storage." To optimize that space, Berk recommends using vacuum-sealed bags for clothes you don't wear, storing them in stackable, organized boxes.

Neutral Palette
"When you're working with a small space, a neutral palette is ideal," Bobby Berk advises. Go for subdued, natural colors, and stick with them throughout the space. In a bedroom, for instance, opting for white cotton sheets, a white linen duvet, and a neutral quilted throw can achieve a layered look without relying on bold pops of color, which can feel cluttered
