　　Small patterns look best on the smaller things in the room—lampshades, pillow shams, bedside-table covers, and bed skirts. Larger patterns look great in broad swaths—bedspreads and voluminous window treatments. Adjusting the patterns in your bedroom can make a room seem less cluttered and can also bring a calming mood.

　　小型模式房间里的最好放小的东西——灯罩，枕套，床头桌罩和睡衣。而较大的模式就要大片的感觉——床单和大的窗帘。调整好模式会让卧室看起来美那么零乱，也给人带来平静的心情。

　　7. Head of the Bed床头

　　For attractive, ample storage, move out a headboard and night tables and move in a combination of stock cabinets and open shelving units. Available through many home centers, the cabinets can be combined to meet individual needs and are less expensive than custom built-ins.

　　为了好看，充足的储存，移开床头板和床头桌，把东西移到储物柜和架子上。适用于许多家庭，储物柜可以根据个人需要组装，而且比定制的便宜很多。

　　8. Make Space Under the Bed腾出床下的空间

　　Make use of drawers from an old dresser that's not being used. Install four rollers on an old dresser drawer, fill it up, and roll it under the bed.

　　利用以前旧的梳妆台的抽屉，在抽屉上安四个轴子，在里面放满东西，再把抽屉推到床底下。

　　9. Sliding Tray滑托盘

　　Here's a way to increase a deep drawer's usable space. Make a box of 1/2-inch plywood and support it on hardwood runners glued to the sides of the drawer. The tray should be half the drawer's width or length so that you can slide it aside for easy access to the bottom of the drawer. Or make the tray full length and add handles for easy lift-out.

　　有一种方法能扩大抽屉的可用空间。做一个0.5英寸夹板，再把他粘到

　　10. No Tight Spots别太紧凑

　　When arranging furniture, allow some empty space on each side of the bed for dressing as well as making the bed and vacuuming. This will help you keep areas clean and prevent small areas with little "breathing room" from becoming clutter-traps.

　　摆放家具时，要在床的两边留一些空间，穿衣服，铺床和打扫。这样容易保持清洁，并且可以防止很小喘息空间成为垃圾堆。
