A bed in the corner may seem like the only solution, here we’ll show you alternative solutions! Or, for those times when the corner IS truly the only option, we’ll show you ways to make it look more attractive.

When the bed can’t be centered on the wall, consider an entire wall treatment of wood, wallpaper or fabric
2) Scale back on large furnishings! 

Maybe that means giving away part of the bedroom set to a family member? Or to someone in need. Maybe it means moving the large piece to a bigger room. Try to visualize the space as a welcoming guest room, one that feels spacious! This will help you feel open to change.
