7 Best Small Bedroom Layout Ideas for Any Home

Black and Blooms

Your bedroom should be your oasis, a place you feel relaxed and at home. But not all of us are lucky enough to have a sprawling room to retire to every night, and sometimes it can feel nearly impossible to fit everything you need into a small bedroom.

The good news is that with the right layout, you can make even the smallest, city-sized bedrooms feel luxurious without sacrificing your must-haves. To help, we enlisted the help of interior designer, Ashley Montgomery, to come up with the best layouts no matter your needs.

The Layout: This layout is perfect for anyone who prioritizes a big, comfortable bed. By placing the bed against the back wall or even under a window, you can leave space for closet doors.

The Bed: In a small bedroom, you want to ensure your bed does not block pathways or doors so ensure you have enough space on all sides of the bed to easily get in and out. By having the closet doors open toward the bottom of your bed, you get the best flow.

The Extras: Depending on the size of your small bedroom, place a dresser on the wall nearest the closet or opt for a bench at the end of the bed. Either way, a king bed doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice storage.

The Layout: A queen bed is a perfect size for many small bedrooms: It’s big enough to feel luxurious, but not overwhelming. This layout offers enough room to place the bed parallel with a closet.

The Bed: In this layout, the queen bed is flanked by two small nightstands and capped by a long dresser. Depending on the size of your room, you may need to opt for a smaller dresser or even floating shelves as nightstands.

The Extras: Use the furthest corner for a little reading nook or a small desk for a more functional space. Add an area rug for more coziness.

The Layout: A single person with a full bed can create a more versatile bedroom space by placing the bed in the upper corner against one wall. This allows for an oversized dresser or a bookcase to act as a nightstand and provide more storage space.

The Bed: While you could opt to float the full bed if you have the room, pushing the bed against the wall is a better use of the space for a single person. It allows for just one point of entry, but more workable wall area for storage or desk space.

The Extras: The wall opposite the bed can be used for a desk and a little reading nook, or more storage space in the form of a smaller dresser.

The Layout: This layout is another one that works best with a full bed, but is ideal for anyone who needs extra storage space, especially if you’re burdened with small closets.

The Bed: Place on the wall directly opposite the closet and opt for a storage bench at the bottom of the bed. This opens up an entire wall for a long dresser, bookshelf, or desk.

The Extras: A round nightstand is a great way to break up the space and soften the edges with all of the furniture in this layout. “Texture and layers always help make a bedroom feel cozier,” says Montgomery. “We love to layer rugs in bedrooms by using a simple sisal to ground the space and something cozy layered on top that your feet touch first when getting out of bed”

The Layout: Whether in a guest room or a child’s room, two twin beds can create a cozy feel in a small bedroom. In this layout, two beds rest opposite one another with a desk between both of them.

The Bed: Place each twin bed against the same wall, ideally the widest one in your room. Leave space only on one side to enter and place a desk or a dresser between them.

The Extras: An area rug between the beds offers additional play space perfect for a kid’s room. According to Montgomery, “The most important thing to consider when arranging a room with two twin beds is not to clutter the room with other furniture.” She says “you don’t want to have two nightstands per bed – it will just feel like a cluster of furniture.”

06

The Layout: This layout for two twin beds is slightly different than the previous, offering more storage space instead of a desk.

The Bed: Both twin beds should be side-by-side with a nightstand between them. The wall directly opposite of the beds can hold a long dresser and each bed could even have a bench at the end for added storage.

The Extras: A plant in the corner is a great way to break up this room and add a bit of visual interest.

MyDomaine/Ellen Lindner

The Layout: Perfect for a college student, this layout features a bunk bed set atop a desk for a loft look. Not only does this allow for additional floor space, but it keeps wall space open for more storage or a little reading area.

The Bed: While this particular layout is done with a twin bed, you can opt for a full loft bed which would offer more space in the desk area. Place the bed opposite the closet for the best flow.

The Extras: Place a chair in the corner next to the loft bed for a place to toss clothes and to add texture and softness to the room.

Opt for furniture that isn’t heavy so it doesn’t overwhelm the space, but instead complements it and works with the flow of the room. Arranging a small bedroom is not always an easy task, but with the right layout, you can create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

40 Small Bedrooms That Don’t Skimp on Style

Small bedroom layouts are every homemaker’s best friend. Every home seems to have that one space that’s a real head scratcher, and it often ends up being a bedroom that just doesn’t seem quite large enough.

So when looking for small bedroom ideas, having a floor plan, and knowing how to create the layout, is critical to its success. Especially when it comes to these tricky petite spaces. Read on to discover the top designer tips for creating a functional floor plan for a small bedroom.

Why is it critical to create a floor plan for a small bedroom?

The smaller the room the greater the limitations, so creating a layout to scale is a crucial step in putting together any room,” says designer Suzanne Tucker. “Floor plans allow you to work out furniture sizes and placement as well as the flow and function of a room.”

“Sometimes even a half inch can make or break your small bedroom layouts,” adds designer Kati Curtis. “Don’t forget to measure and account for the base molding, as it can stick out as much as an inch. ”

“Bedrooms are generally multifunctional rooms—including sleeping, dressing, and often desk areas,” says designer Rodney Lawrence.
“Therefore, a plan is essential to understanding the flow and the scale of the furniture in relation to the space available, and will allow you to include plenty of storage ideas for small bedrooms.”

“It’s all about the function,” says designer Ghislaine Viñas. “You can create a gorgeous room, but if it doesn’t accommodate a person’s belongings it’s going to be a disaster. Bedrooms should be peaceful, so thinking through where things will live beforehand is key.”

What are the major factors to consider when planning a small bedroom?

“In addition to bed size, think about bedroom lighting ideas, storage, and functional needs beyond sleeping,” notes Tucker. “Considerations include seating, a desk area, blackout curtains, sound mitigation, privacy, and the need for a space-saving Murphy bed. At the end of the day, the bedroom is a place of relaxation and renewal, so choose soft textures and soothing colors.”

“Storage, storage, storage!” says Curtis. “I’m not a fan of storing things under the bed, so I rely on case pieces, closets, and built-ins. I also prefer chests with drawers as nightstands as opposed to tables.”

“Be calculated about how much pattern and color you use,” suggests Viñas. Select just a few bold statements and stick with either all warm shades or all cool shades.”

“In order to achieve a harmonious result, it’s important to pick a style and color palette that works with existing décor elements such as flooring,” says Lawrence. “And don’t forget to accessorize—the room needs to feel like it belongs to you.”

What are the most crucial elements to include in a small bedroom that will help it function properly?

“Even a small bedroom should have bedside storage, a properly sized rug, a dresser, bedside lamps, and a side chair if there’s room,” says Curtis. Viñas agrees, adding that a desk or a vanity may also be necessary.

“Other than the bed and bedside tables, a small but comfortable chair is always a good investment because it can be used at a desk, for reading, or when getting dressed,” says Lawrence. “Shelves can provide extra storage and display space.”

“If there isn’t space for a seating area to factor into your master bedroom ideas, consider a bench or ottoman with storage within,” says Tucker. “When corners are tight, opt for an upholstered bed over a wooden platform with sharp edges and your shins will be grateful!”

Ideally, how should a small bedroom be laid out to make the most of the space?

(Image credit: Rodney Lawrence)

“If the room is used by one person, placing the bed against a wall frees up floor space and can make the room feel larger,” says Lawrence. “You can maximize storage by using a cabinet or a desk as a bedside table—just make sure it’s of similar height to the bed.”

“When you walk into the room, the bed should be on the opposite wall so that you’re looking at it straight on,” says Tucker. “If bedside tables are small, use sconces to maximize surface area. And don’t forget to utilize the space underneath the bed!”

“Creating a view makes a room feel bigger, so place the bed wherever you’ll have the best vista,” suggests Viñas. “Hopefully that’s a window or a wall where you can set something beautiful such as a dresser. Once the bed is placed, make sure there’s enough space on either side for a phone charger, a book, and a light. And the rug should be large enough to frame the bed and bedside tables.”

What are some of the biggest mistakes that people often make when dealing with a small bedroom?

(Image credit: Ghislaine Vinas/Mick Hales)

“People are afraid to go bold with dark colors because they think it will make a small bedroom layouts feel smaller,” says Curtis. “In reality, deep shades actually add depth to a room.”

“Failing to provide enough circulation space and not considering the scale of furnishings are two mistakes I see often,” says Lawrence. “This doesn’t mean you need to buy a miniature bed for a small bedroom, but you should select a design that will fit and look harmonious in the room. This could be a lower bed or a simple, clean design.”

“Too much in the way of furniture, pattern, color, or clutter can be a problem,” explains Viñas. “It should be well thought out and mostly minimal, but with some pops of excitement here and there.”

“Not measuring becomes a major issue, as well as not allowing for enough breathing room among furnishings,” says Tucker.

Small Bedroom Decorating Ideas – How to Maximize a Small Bedroom

No Space Too Small is a brand new column by Laura Fenton that celebrates the idea that you can live well in a small home. Each month, Laura will share her practical findings from years of observing how people live in tight spaces, and her own everyday experiences of living small—from the hunt for the perfect tiny desk and managing everyday clutter to how to smooth the frustrations out of cooking in a galley kitchen.

My “bedroom” measures just 8 feet by 10 feet. I put “bedroom” in quotes because when we bought our apartment, the space was a dining alcove that we decided to make into a second bedroom. I’ve worked hard to make the most of the small sleeping space, which I will tell you all about below, but before that I want to reassure you that a small bedroom is nothing to fret about. In fact, if I had my druthers, all bedrooms would be smaller, so that our shared living spaces might be larger.

A bedroom is primarily meant to be a place to rest, and thankfully, you don’t need a ton of space or stuff to do that. It’s when we ask our bedrooms to do double (and sometimes triple) duty as a home office, personal gym, and wardrobe archive that we get into trouble. If your bedroom is feeling cramped, the first step may be to ask if you’re trying to make it do too much. When it comes to creating a sense of calm, less really is more. Here’s how to make the most of your room and create a restful space on a budget:

1. Put the bed to work, if you can

Yes, a bed is for sleeping, but it’s a lot of real estate in a small room. I am a big fan of both storage beds and wall beds (aka murphy beds)—and I’ve had both in various homes–but I’m not going to tell you to go out and buy a new bed. Instead, I’d encourage you to think strategically about the bed you do have: Could it fit drawers or storage bags underneath? If not, you could lift it up on risers to make room for storage?

2.

Rethink your arrangement

Your current furniture arrangement may not be the only possible solution. Alisa Regas, whose home is featured in my book The Little Book of Living Small (and here on Home52) made her small bedroom even smaller when she renovated it. Regas divided the room in half so that sleeping and dressing spaces were separate, with her dresser drawers acting as a divider. While it may seem counterintuitive to divide a small room, there was no wall for a dresser, so the arrangement gave her a much more functional space. Alisa’s bureau is built-in, but take it as inspiration to reconsider your layout. Likewise, Shira Gill, whose home also appears in the book recently rearranged her bedroom so she wouldn’t be sleeping against the wall. Buying new more slender nightstands was one tiny change that made the new arrangement possible and completely changed the flow of the space.

3. Ditch the closet door

Traditional and bi-fold doors take up a lot of floor space. If you have closet doors that are constantly in the way, consider replacing them with curtains. Decorator Matthew Kowles did this in his studio apartment years ago and it was beyond chic. (Pssst… this is likely a two-person job. Wedge a book under the door before you remove the pins and have your helper hold it steady.)

4. Put the dresser in the closet

Occasionally, a bedroom has a larger closet than is needed. If that is the case in your bedroom, put the chest of drawers inside the closet to open up space in the main area of the bedroom. You can even hang short garments above a low-slung dresser. I especially recommend this arrangement in kid’s or guest bedrooms where a larger closet can be a waste of space because visitors rarely fill up a closet and kids’ clothes are often too small to hang.

5. Minimize your nightstand

While a nightstand does not take up a ton of room, the wrong one can make a small room feel smaller. Several small-space dwellers told me they’ve gone without a bedside table, but I believe you can fit some kind of perch in even the tiniest bedrooms, like perhaps a small, floating shelf (here’s another cute one) or even a single-pot plant stand.

I particularly love wall-mounted nightstands for offering a place to rest a book or glass of water without taking up any floor space. If you’re going to invest in one change to your bedroom, this would be a great pick. When I was looking for floating nightstands seven years ago, there weren’t a ton of options, so I ended up commissioning a pair from a woodworker on Etsy, but today there are dozens of options on Etsy. I love this genius light-table combo from One Forty Three and this floating drawer from PBTeen priced at $99. (I also like the looks of the BedShelfie—if anyone has tried it, please comment below!)

You can also shop your house for a more minimalist nightstand: A stool, chair, or even a plant stand can be used as a bedside table. In one small apartment, I had Aalto-style stacking stools for bedside tables, which I also used as extra chairs when I had big dinner parties.

6. Or make it do double duty

If you’ve got room for something larger beside your bed, you might consider using a dresser or a small desk as a nightstand, so that you can have one piece of furniture do two jobs. The key to make this work is to get the heights right and to be vigilant about keeping the surface clear.

7. Say yes to sconces

It’s not a new idea to install a sconce instead of a space-hogging table lamp, but I can tell you that the options for good-looking affordable plug-in sconces have increased exponentially in recent years. If you looked for sconces at an earlier time and struck out, try again: Schoolhouse, Rejuvenation, and Humanhome all sell great options. If you’re on a serious budget, you might consider a humble clamp light from the hardware store, which usually costs about $10. Clip it to your headboard or hang it from a hook on the wall.

In my own home, I’m debating upgrading to a hardwired sconce; here’s why: Our plug-in sconces are great, but the cords are a magnet for dust and in our tiny bedroom they add a surprising amount of visual clutter. If you’re likely to stay in your home for years to come, consider the benefits of hardwiring, so you don’t end up shopping twice like I did!

8.

Don’t forget a dimmer

This may not sound like a space maximizing tip, but I believe a dimmable lamp is key in a small bedroom. Being able to adjust your light for different needs (brighter light to read and dimmer glow for the time when you are winding down to sleep) will make your bedroom function better and make you feel like the space has greater flexibility.

From Our Shop

9. Consider your bedding carefully

In a small bedroom, the bed is the largest surface in the room, which means your bedding has a big impact on how the space looks and feels. Plain white linens will feel airy and fresh, but a bold pattern like say, a Marimekko print instantly gives a room a strong point of view.

If linen storage is a pain point, pare back your bedding to just two sets of sheets per bed: One to dress the bed and a spare set of clean ones. Better still if the two coordinate, so you can mix and match the sets for more styling options.

10. Try oversized art

Vanessa Helmick, the founder of Fiore Home in Maine, likes to go big with art in a small bedroom. This could be a large artwork or in the case of a recent bedroom she designed, an accent wall behind the bed with gorgeous wallpaper. (Her advice makes me tempted to wallpaper the wall behind my own bed!)

One last thing! If you have furniture positioned in front of an outlet, the Hug-a-Plug, which provides two right-angle outlets in tight spots behind furniture. It will only save you an inch or two by letting the furniture sit closer to the wall. We have one behind my son’s dresser and I appreciate that it sits a little closer to the wall.

What are your tips to maximize a small bedroom without spending a fortune? I’d love to hear in the comments below.

There is a trend of building smaller homes. And aside from the master bedroom, secondary bedrooms are getting the down-scaling treatment. But the downsizing lifestyle has also trimmed away much of the personal stuff that would have cramped the modern bedrooms. Here are 50 awesome small bedroom ideas and designs that are smart, space-efficient and beautiful.

1. White and Neutral

White and tan are two of the most timeless neutral colours. White and light colour schemes make the room appear bigger and more spacious. Placing large furniture – the bed and the desk to the sides and end of the room improves the traffic flow.

2. Bed in a Nook

Charming, cosy and creatively designed. The installed bed appears like a comfortable wall nest. The design creatively hides the closets and shelves in plain view, creating a neat and cleaner space.

3. Trendy Wall Storage

Take your stuff off the floor! These trendy and attractive wall shelves are great for organising small odd items that you need to be on hand, not hidden away. They also double as wall features with all those funky shapes.

4. Loft Sleeping Area

If the horizontal space is limited, go vertical. Building a middle loft for the bed creates additional storage underneath and smartly separates the sleeping area from the rest of the room.

5. Less is More

When designing small bedrooms, you will want to aim for a bigger and cleaner look. Simplify your design – less clutter, less colours and more space. Just add one or two stunning features that will capture the essence of the space.

6. Multi-Functional Add-ons

One of the popular small bedroom ideas and designs is to make everything you add to the room work double. The shelf is storage and light base. The stool functions are a nightstand and additional storage and can be used as a seat when needed.

7. Masculine Earth Tones

The cohesive colour scheme of this masculine bedroom makes it appear larger, despite going against the light colour rule. Thin horizontal lines everywhere also guide the eyes to look horizontal, giving the illusion of space.

8. Hide-Away Bed

The bed is the biggest furniture in a bedroom, it also occupies the most space. Hiding the bed can free up a lot of space. This is an ingenious design to hide away the bed, create ample storage and still have a comfortable space to move around.

9. Wall Nightstand

Keep things simple and efficient. This creatively designed feature is all the nightstand you need. It has light installed and space to hold your bedside things. Go small and functional, but big on style and look.

10.

Corner Bed

When you need at least a double sized bed but only have room for a narrow bunk, just push the bed to the corner farthest from the door and you instantly get the bed and the space you need. Use up the wall area above the bed for your storage.

11. Cosy Grey

This is one delightful and cosy bedroom. The light grey wall colour expands the room, is pleasing to the eye and is the perfect backdrop for the pretty yellow and white decorative add-ons.

12. Lots of Light

When the room is small, you will want to bring in as much light as possible. This narrow bedroom appears wider and larger with the help of its white walls, large window and ample lighting. Pops of colours keeps it from being too ascetic and boring.

13. A Ladder Shelf

Ladder shelves are mobile and provides the needed storage without taking so much space. This well-designed corner ladder shelf will let you take advantage of that odd corner space.

14. Coastal Blues

There is nothing more spacious and larger than the sea! Evoke that sense of space and air by bringing sea colours to your bedroom. This white and blue room effectively uses the colour blocking technique with all shades of blue.

15. Large Mirrors

Adding large mirrors is one of the time-tested and effective small bedroom ideas and designs. Mirrors instantly expands the room. It reflects light and is also a functional feature that doesn’t take much space.

16. Vibrant Colours

This is one warm, refreshing and vibrant room! Liven up your private space with colour. The key to avoid the overcrowded look is to have a light and neutral backdrop to set up the colours while keeping the overall design toned down.

17. Beautifully Basic

Create small yet beautiful bedrooms by adding in all you need and not much else. Guest bedrooms don’t need expansive storage or personalisation. This is the perfect example of a guest bedroom – basic, comfortable, neat and welcoming.

18. Pull-out Headboard Storage

That small space behind the headboards can be used as creative hiding nooks for your small valuables. It can also serve as a hide-away nightstand. The idea is to have specific spaces for your stuff and if you can hide them away from plain sight, the better.

19. Pastels and Daybed

A daybed is just as comfortable as a regular bed. It is also smaller and can be transformed into a sofa or a couch during the day. Complemented with pastel colours and accessible storage, this is perfect for kids’ rooms.

20.

Beige Monochrome

While white walls help expand the room, it can also be too ascetic, boring or too sterile for some. Break down the dreary whites with off-white shades. Beige is a cool, interesting and popular neutral shade that complements almost all other colours.

21. Mirrored Walls

White walls, mirrors, large windows and sliding doors – all the space creating features in one room. Visually double the size of your bedroom by installing mirrors on the wall. This bedroom features a wall of mirrored sliding closet doors.

22. Black and White

23. Floating Shelves

Open storage spaces like floating shelves and open closets offer the needed space without cramping the room. The open feature lets the room retain its width.

24. The Apartment Bedroom

Apartment style bedrooms are generally small, comfortable spaces that make the most of every nook and cranny available. This small bedroom comes big on style with its predominantly white palette, efficient use of space and pretty touches of colour and décor.

27. Pull-out Closets

A clutter-less room is always better and bigger. Step up your organising features with efficient storage. Pull-out closets let you access hard-to-reach nooks and are ideal for odd-shaped spaces like under the stairs or attic rooms.

28. High Wall Shelves

Free up floor space and take your stuff high up. Store your rarely-used stuff out of the way. Install shelves high up the wall to make use of the space. Smart organising trick!

40. A Nook for a Nightstand

This gorgeous bedroom includes a smart space-saving feature – a nook for a nightstand! You can forget about the side table; all you need is a nook to place your stuff. The overhead light installation also eliminates the need for a night lamp.

The floating shelves at the end of the room provide much-needed storage that is also accessible without crowding the already limited space.

44. Sliding Closet Doors

Sliding doors are nifty and attractive space-saving idea since you don’t need the additional space allowance for opening doors. It can also work best for space-challenged bedrooms.

45. White Boho Chic

This Boho style white bedroom just skipped the closets, and it worked! Instead of closets, storage is in the form of hanger bars, shelves and boxes. Clothes on hangers serve as a colourful backdrop for the bed. Knitted bed covers, gauzy curtain and a dramatic chandelier add character to the room.

46. Stacked Modular Shelving

The best way to solve horizontal space problem is by going vertical. These stacked modular shelving is flexible and movable. You can cover the entire wall, move it to the other side of the room, paint the boxes and even use it as tables and seats.

47. Raised Bed and Storage

When you don’t have enough space for both bed and closets, put your entire storage under the bed! Raise the bed as much as possible then build storage drawers underneath. This bedroom also uses the window sill as a nightstand.

48. Skylights

Open the room to get as much natural lighting and illusion of space in. Aside from the window and skylights, this bedroom also has white walls and minimal décor that could cramp space.

49. White Brick Wall

Clean, neat and comfy. Focusing on what’s important, this classic white bedroom achieved maximum comfort for such a small space. The rustic brick wall adds a lovely rustic vibe to the white bedroom.

50. Pretty Moroccan

10×10 Bedroom Layout Ideas to Make the Most of Your Small Space

Designing a 10-foot-by-10-foot (305cm x 305cm) sized room without overcrowding can be especially tricky.

For this layout, choosing a rounded nightstand is a great design choice. It makes the room feel less packed and more open and efficient.

With Full-Size Bed

Selecting a full-sized bed will save you extra space in your 10×10 room. You can make use of this space for your hobbies, do yoga and exercises, or if you just like to prop down and play board games with a sibling or a friend.

Layout #4

Choosing a full bed instead of a larger one would be ideal for you if you want your room to feel more spacious.

Layout #5

This is a typical master bedroom floor plan. But instead of a queen-sized bed, this plan shows a full bed placed right at the center. Choosing the sizes of beds makes a huge difference in the layout of your room. Here you can see how space has become more spacious.

Placing the bed right under the window also makes the room light and airy.
You can also have unique storage items to decorate and add personality to your room, such as placing wicker baskets beside your closet.

Layout #6

The bed is situated on the corner of the room and across from it, you can place an armchair, drawer, or any kind of storage furniture and décor item that you love to put in your room.
This layout frees half of the bedroom area, which you can use to do whatever you like. Whether it be yoga, exercise, playing an instrument, or making art.

Layout #7

If you don’t have extra room for your home office. You can create a working space corner. But according to feng shui, having a desk in the bedroom is not suitable for productivity and energy.

However, if you are a student, working from home, or spending a lot of time working on a desk, this might be necessary.
Placing the bed in the corner of the room will give you enough space to put on a desk and an armchair right across from it.

With King-Size Bed

A king-sized bed may not properly fit in a 10 x 10 bedroom because it can be a bit overcrowding. You can’t put your king-sized bed in the center of your room because there will not be enough space for access and navigation. You can select a smaller bed to better maximize the space.

However, if you only have a king-sized bed there are still options on how you can lay out your to make the most of your room.

Layout #8

If you only have a king-sized- bed in your 10′ x 10′ bedroom, this layout might be a great solution.

To make this kind of layout work, carefully choose your dresser and drawers’ size not to make the room feel crowded.
Place a mirror on your wall to create an illusion of space and add light to your interior.

Layout #9

Since there is not enough place for larger furniture, you can place an armchair instead.
Don’t try to shove in large furniture pieces because it can block your footpath and make the room congested with stuff.
Use wall shelves for your storage, a floating nightstand, or a shelf above your headboard instead of a nightstand.

With Twin-Size Bed

Below you can see three different floor plan options with a twin-sized bed. We tried to optimize space for teenagers or kids.

Layout #10

In this square-shaped bedroom layout, the bed is tucked up against the wall, as well as the drawers, closets, and a few furniture pieces.

This leaves the center of the room with an open space that can serve as an area for playtime.
Not having huge furniture beside or near the window is also a great design choice.
This will provide enough natural daylight throughout the room and prevent your kid from bumping into furniture edges while playing.

Layout #11

A 10×10 room is ideal for a kid or a teenager.
By pushing the bed against one side of the wall, more space is left for the study area.
Since kids can be messy in the bedroom, having enough closets, drawers, and storage spaces where they can keep their toys, books, and other belongings will help them keep their room organized.
A runner is placed on the open area between the bed and the desk which is a great space for playtime.
Nothing is blocking from the door footpath to the bed, which is a great design choice for a kid’s room.

Layout #12

Who says you can’t place two beds in a small bedroom? This layout perfectly fits two twin-sized beds, leaving just enough space at the center as an access route and can also double as a play area.

The table right below the window serves as a single nightstand for both beds.
To maximize the limited space, opt for a narrower closet or a low shelf for toy storage.

Build Storage Into Your Bed

2/14

Small spaces sometimes have awkward shapes. If a bedroom has a window nook, consider optimizing storage with style, like this built-in bed with trundle drawers by Simplicity in the South for Ana White. The designer used stock kitchen shelves in white, ordered from a local home improvement store. Her key tip: Always measure twice before ordering shelves.

Transform Wasted Space

3/14

Owners of small bedrooms must use every bit of space to its fullest potential. That’s the takeaway from this office alcove by Sarah Richardson Design. What was once just a gap between two doors has become a built-in home office, complete with a tiny desk. The designer created balance and an uncluttered look by using white shelves and a white chair. Once the bones are in place, it’s easy to accessorize to your heart’s content.

Embrace Big Bold Lights

4/14

When Cristina Garay of Remodela Casa decides to renovate, she goes big. Statement lighting in a small bedroom design—especially hanging chandeliers and lanterns—free up tabletops and add a sense of grandeur. Of course, simplicity also helps, which means opting for neutral colors and sleek shapes to prevent a sense of clutter and to keep furniture and other items in proportion.

Layer Textures and Patterns

5/14

One of the benefits of a small bedroom design is its coziness factor. Coziness amps up by layering complementary patterns and textures—on the floor. Take a leaf out of this lookbook, courtesy of The Inspired Room, and keep in mind the rules of pattern mixing: Use at least three different designs; vary the scale of the patterns for visual interest; and add a solid for calming, clean lines.

Reinvent Home Essentials

6/14

Furnishing a small bedroom requires some ingenuity, like reinventing home essentials to better suit the room’s size and needs. Case in point: the laundry hamper. Instead of big, space-hogging hampers, Jennifer at The Craft Patch Blog decided to maximize space and functionality with a trio of small hamper benches instead. Now, she can stow dirty laundry—and have a place to sit and put on her shoes.

Use Black to Your Advantage

7/14

Rethink what you’ve been told about black paint. Instead of making a room feel smaller, black can trick the eye into a sense of depth and spaciousness. The key, of course, is application. Ariel at PMQ for Two offers the right technique. She painted the wall behind her bed black. This makes the wall recede from view and adds visual clarity to bold colors and patterns (like leopard print and pink checks).

Work With Unusual Angles

8/14

If a bedroom feels disjointed by odd angles, take heart! Work with the angles instead of against them and make the room itself the focal point of furnishings. For example, position the bed to show off a strange architectural feature, like a corner jutting into the living space. This makes the room feel intentional, rather than accidental.

Go Monochrome

9/14

A neutral white or light gray palette can add lightness and airiness to even the most cramped quarters. And monochrome doesn’t mean mundane. Instead, using plenty of neutrals that have a touch of warmth (red rather than blue undertones) blends airy with cozy. Add punchiness with accessories: photographs, curtains, pillows, throws, and some eye-catching blue or orange accents.

Repurpose Bookshelves

10/14

Instead of storing books, use them as functional decor, like with this bookshelf headboard. Inexpensive and beautiful, the white shelving unit stocked with books also serves a practical purpose: It encourages reading before falling asleep, which research shows is better for deep sleep than scrolling or reading on an electronic device.

Accent with Wallpaper

11/14

Any small bedroom design can drown easily in a sea of patterned wallpaper. But the same wallpaper can work wonders when applied to a single accent wall. With this look, the surrounding ambiance complements the wallpaper. The ornate pattern is offset by pared-down furnishings, a pure white palette, and minimal accessories.

Go Minimal—with Warmth

12/14

Minimalist design strikes some people as sterile, but it’s easy to warm up a clean look. By layering natural textures such as wood, linen, rattan, and cotton, a Scandinavian style bedroom exudes warmth and luxury. This means choosing pure lines and tonal shades of white, gray, and black for linens, light fixtures, and furnishings. A bouquet of eucalyptus leaves adds just the right touch of Mother Nature.

Love Your Plants

13/14

With just a little loving care, a tiny bedroom can be a breath of fresh air. Literally. Plants recycle the air we breathe, purifying the boudoir daily. Fragrant flora like lavender can aid sleep, too. It helps to consider allergies when choosing greenery and, for best success, to choose plants that fare well in the room’s light and humidity levels. The folks at Urban Jungle Bloggers have plenty more ideas for using plants as tiny bedroom accents.

Focus on Vibrant Bedding

14/14

Hopefully, most people spend at least eight hours a day in bed, so why not make it the focal point of a tiny bedroom? In fact, going for bold, vibrant colors and patterns makes the entire bedroom pop and cuts down on the overall decorating budget, especially with a duvet like Stjärntulpan from IKEA. A small bedroom won’t need much else to become a beautiful, restorative nest.

Layout of a small bedroom, photos and design ideas

Good sleep is the key to health, because it is very important to restore strength. To do this, the apartment requires: a comfortable bed, fresh air and silence. Everything else is a layer of cultural heritage. And, if the area of \u200b\u200bthe dwelling is so small that it requires austerity, we advise you to adapt both square and cubic meters, as well as the time dimension, for the sake of your good rest.

Clare Gaskin Interiors

Choose a large comfortable bed
Even if you have a tiny bedroom, don’t cut the size of your bed. Let the aisles be a little narrower, but the bed for sleeping will remain comfortable in length and width. But such trifles as lamps, shelves and bedside tables, you can choose a smaller size, and instead use hinged and adjustable structures. Even a bright dress taken out of the wardrobe in advance can become a decoration of the bedroom.

Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture

Get rid of stuff
If you separate the bed from the storage systems, then the room will become much more spacious. For furniture, clothes and other items, find a space in the neighborhood. Most likely, not just repairs will be required, but competent redevelopment, which will allow corners, compartments, even steps to be adapted for storage. Remember, there are no hopeless situations (this apartment in the photo, where the bed is located on the mezzanine, has an area of only 46 sq.m). It may be worth inviting an architect – let a professional do the optimization of your space.

Put the furniture on casters
Furniture on wheels will allow you to better manage the space of the room. And the bed, and armchairs, and ottomans, and coffee tables on wheels can always be moved or taken to another room, and then make room for morning exercises or trying on outfits.

Pause Designs

Get rid of cabinet furniture
An open hanger, fixed or mobile, can be an alternative to a closet in a small bedroom. A good solution is a rail on the wall: all outfits are immediately visible, and the “transparency” of the storage system serves as an additional motivation to keep order.

Obviously, this design takes up less space than a traditional cabinet. And, quite naturally, it looks easier visually.

MIL-id – Architecture & Design

Bed around
Use the space above the bed, under the bed and around the bed. Multifunctional furniture, or a podium bed with drawers, will allow you to keep at hand the most necessary things, such as bedding, hygiene items, laptops and more.
Make room above the headboard as well, at a height that is easy to reach when standing on the bed. It’s not worth it above – you won’t put a chair or stepladder on the bed. Light shelves with heavy books are not appropriate here. If you build, then a reliable design, with doors on magnets, so that the contents do not accidentally fall.

If you have a room with an alcove, use the idea from the photo: lay mats, they turn the passage around the bed into a lounge area. The area of the apartment in the photo is only 28 square meters, and the mats serve as additional seats in the combined space of the living room-kitchen-bedroom.

Replace the window sill
Make it slightly wider and continue the shelf from the wall to the wall for the entire width rooms. You will have additional space for paintings, framed photographs. If the space is catastrophically small, move the bed at arm’s length – you can also put a book here before going to bed.

Draw a headboard
Another idea from the photo is a non-standard headboard. The fact is that the bed, due to the design features, is always wider than the “mattress with legs”. And these 15-20 cm in a small bedroom are not superfluous at all. To give an impromptu bed a complete look, complement it with a headboard – hinged, attached or simply painted.

Consider time of day scenarios
The same space can be used differently day and night. A folding bed that hides into the wall during the day, or a bedroom combined with a living room with a sofa bed will allow you to sleep and stay awake on the same area. For the design of such premises, all kinds of related devices are produced, such as swivel brackets for television panels, transformer tables, and so on.

However, combining two functions in one room will deprive you of the possibility of private relaxation in broad daylight. Keep this in mind if you live with children or parents, often receive guests.

Anna Kiseleva

Make a redevelopment
As a great alternative to a small bedroom, we can recommend a studio organization of space that will suit those who live alone. Even in a family consisting of only two people, the lack of interior doors will create certain inconveniences.

On the other hand, the fewer internal partitions in an apartment, the more spacious its departments can be, and the routes of movement are shorter and more varied. There are two main options here: a bed behind a stationary partition and a bed behind a sliding partition. Stationary fencing is simpler and cheaper to perform.

Allen+Killcoyne Architects

If there is no window in the resulting sleeping nook, consider a translucent glass partition with shutters, smart glass or another.

Architectural workshop za bor

A sliding partition will allow you to change the space, isolate the bed from the kitchen and living room. The option is convenient for a small family, as it provides freedom of choice. You can be alone in a small bedroom. And you can push the “walls” and enjoy the space by having a friendly party.

Mezzanine
When living space is in short supply, but the height of the room is sufficient, use this volume. The bedroom can and should be equipped on the mezzanine. The designs of the “upper deck” are very different. They also sleep in limbo! But more often, of course, they make a solid overlap and light fencing.

Tip: Since we are talking about a small bedroom, make a folding mezzanine bed, as in the photo next.

Nikita Zhilyakov’s workshop

You can go to the second floor even in an apartment with standard height ceilings. In the interior with a photo, the owner needed a zone for privacy and gatherings with guests, but the area did not allow putting a full-fledged sofa next to the bed. Therefore, the designer went for an unusual move: he raised the bed and made a seating area right under it. It is nice to read there or have a tea party with friends – more informal than at the table.

Sleeping in an attic
In a country house with a small area, it is logical to go to sleep in an attic room. And for sleep, you can take a place under the low slopes. Know that even in a summer country house, where the roof space is not insulated, the daytime heat under the roof itself will go unnoticed, but it will be comfortable there in the late evening.

Enlarge a small space visually
Many people experience claustrophobia when entering an enclosed space. And so that such a nightmare does not happen in a small bedroom, you should not focus on the old myth that white color expands the space. Undoubtedly, a white dress makes you look fat, but the white-white walls and ceiling, rather, inspire melancholy. Painfully, this design of a small room resembles a cell or a hospital ward. A successful selection of finishing materials with different textures and different color nuances, as well as mirrors, will rather add visual depth to the space. However, reflective surfaces should be placed in such a way that you do not see your reflection in them in the bed. It has a stimulating effect on the psyche.

Checklist of ideas

The main purpose of the bedroom is to relax. Therefore, the key element is the bed. Even despite the small dimensions of the room, preference should be given to a full-fledged sleeping place, comfortable in size. In small apartments, especially in Khrushchev, this room plays the role of an office or boudoir. You have to somehow place in it not only the desktop, equipment, workshop, but also cabinets.

Thanks to unconventional design findings, it is possible to compactly combine functional areas, using square meters to the maximum. And in order to visually expand the space, you need to adhere to certain principles: use light colors in the decoration; choose furniture without massive elements; apply mirror and glossy surfaces.

First, draw a room plan to understand what advantages and disadvantages it has. Using the first and hiding the second, even a room of 10 squares can be turned into a style sample. The main areas that need to be located indoors: storage, rest, a place to work.

The room can be square or rectangular. In a square, it is easier to arrange pieces of furniture. In a rectangular arrangement will depend on the placement of the door and window relative to each other. To save space, the bed can be moved with one side to the wall. This will allow you to position the opposite work area.

According to Feng Shui rules, mirrors are not placed in front of the bed. But if you do not adhere to this practice, you can safely put a cabinet with mirrored facades near the end wall. It is also quite realistic to place the headboard by the window. Such a non-standard solution looks very organic, especially complemented by light shelves as bedside tables.

In order not to end up with a tasteless mishmash of items as a result of the repair, you can use a ready-made style solution based on your own taste. For tiny rooms, artsy baroque, empire, art deco with their abundance of decor are not suitable. In order not to burden the space, it is better to choose classic, minimalism or Scandinavian style.

Simple bedroom design tips and ideas that are easy to replicate

1. Design of a square bedroom 10 sq. m

Psychologists and colorists recommend using the dark blue color carefully and in doses – in large quantities it is depressing and causes blues. But the author of this project took a chance and painted the whole wall in rich blue. At the same time, the room turned out to be very fresh and bright due to the abundance of white and burgundy accent elements. This balanced the color union of active red and melancholy blue.

The layout of this bedroom is 10 sq. m as the main storage system is a light built-in wardrobe, which is buried in a niche and is perceived as part of the wall. Also in the room there are open shelves and compact bedside tables.

Another way to visually expand the space is a large floor-to-ceiling mirror that creates the illusion of more space than it really is.

And here is an example of a bedroom design of 10 square meters. m with a balcony. The interior is designed in a modern style, the palette is based on a monochrome combination of black, white and gray, and it is diluted by the warm texture of wood on the floor and desktop.

A separate mini dressing room has been made for storing clothes, and the vacated space is reserved for a table that can perform two roles at once: a home workplace and a makeup corner.
The exit to the loggia is hidden in the back right part of the room; if desired, the balcony door can be closed with a thick curtain. The bedroom is located in the center of the apartment, so the balcony window becomes the only source of natural light here. It is complemented by lamps built into the ceiling and wall sconces above the bed.

Beige and large tree windows
There is no lack of sunlight in this project: there are panoramic windows along the entire wall with a beautiful view of the city. Another feature of the room is a non-standard shape with a beveled sharp corner. Due to the small area and the nuances of the layout for the design of a rectangular bedroom of 10 square meters. m minimalism was chosen: no extra furniture and a minimum of decor. The main accent is a bed on a wooden podium with LED lighting around the perimeter, complemented by panels with mirrored inserts behind the headboard. The interior design is dominated by wood and natural fabrics, and the palette is formed by noble and warm shades of beige. Due to the difficulties of placement in such a layout of the storage cabinet, a spacious chest of drawers is used.

due to large windows and an almost completely white interior. As the author of the project writes, before that the customer lived in a dark loft, and in the new apartment he wanted a radically opposite design: a lot of sun and light colors.

The feeling of hospital sterility is leveled by the use of warm and cozy textures: wood on the floor and on the walls (white-painted slats behind the headboard), soft bed base and carpet. Storage is organized in a wardrobe with a shelving section: clothes and bed linen are stored both behind the doors and on open shelves.

The lighting is interesting. Instead of an overhead lamp and bedside sconces, there is a single track system in accent black that flows from the ceiling to the wall. It was possible to abandon the overhead lamp due to the abundance of natural light.

5. Bedroom with three doors

In this project, the sleeping area of 10.1 square meters. m is located next to one of the two bathrooms. Designers took away part of a long narrow corridor and turned it into a full-fledged dressing room – separate doors lead into it and into the bathroom from the room. Due to the usable area taken from the hallway, the issue of storage was resolved: all the clothes went to the wardrobe, and nothing superfluous was left inside the room.

Scandinavian style was chosen for decoration: calm light finishes and natural materials. The central element of the room is a large bed with a wooden frame, which is complemented by bedside tables made of the same material. The decor is minimal: a soft cozy carpet, a wicker arrangement over the headboard and a couple of posters on the opposite wall. To make the owner sleep comfortably, the curtains on the windows are complemented by Roman blinds that protect from the sun’s rays. Artificial lighting is presented in two scenarios: the main overhead light and two table lamps on either side of the bed.

The main finish is in neutral white, walls and ceiling are painted in the same tone to blur the boundaries and make the space visually taller and more spacious. An unusual detail is a part of the wall between the bedroom and the bathroom, made of matte translucent glass blocks. This solution has two significant advantages at once: it makes the wall lighter and allows additional sunlight to pass from room to room.

Advantages and disadvantages of small bedrooms

Often in ordinary typical houses we find ordinary bedrooms, small, and sometimes quite tiny. They have not only a few square meters, but also low ceiling heights or narrow windows. As a rule, such rooms are found in Khrushchev-type houses. But all this can be simply remade in your own way and made from the shortcomings – dignity! After all, there are a huge number of small bedroom design ideas!

Color scheme for small bedrooms

Since this is a place for your own relaxation, the colors here will be peaceful and calm. Be sure to view the photo design of a small bedroom.

The use of light shades can visually enlarge the space. You can choose absolutely any light shade that you like, it is not necessary to choose white or beige! The design idea of a small bedroom can be very original, modern and unique if you use a light finish.

Each color has warm (suitable for bedrooms with windows to the north) and cold shades (where the windows face south). So that, in general, the interior is not boring, make some bright elements, and colors to match the chosen design style. For example, the wall at the head can be painted in a bright color or a photo wallpaper can be made on it, a beautiful carpet will also look original.

Small bedroom furniture

Furniture elements should not be too much, in order to avoid cluttering up an already small space. Of course, without a bed in the bedroom – no way. But you can choose such an option so that there are no legs, then it will look smaller and more compact, and the height of the ceilings will allow you to do more!

If you are furnishing a children’s bedroom, then it is worth installing a bunk bed.

In general, designers create multifunctional furniture especially for small rooms. Therefore, today – the range is so huge and diverse that everyone can choose for himself exactly what he needs! It can be various bedside tables, as well as built-in wardrobes with a mirrored door. Well, if you don’t have too many of them, then maybe you can get by with a chest of drawers. Also use drawers, if any, under the bed – they are perfect for storing things, linen or shoes.

Furnishings in a small bedroom

The main focus here is the bed. It is important to decide where it will be. Well, if you have already solved this problem, then it will not be difficult to arrange other furniture. When arranging furniture, do not clutter up the “middle” of the room so that it does not end up overloaded. The best option for placement around the perimeter of the bedroom (without gaps). See our small bedroom interior design photos.

Do not choose too bright colors for furniture or decoration. The main thing is that they are in harmony with each other. Choose light options, and it doesn’t have to be white at all! If your furniture is light, and not too high, the ceilings will appear higher. There should not be many decorative elements, do not overload the room. To add perspective, make a bright accent somewhere in the corner, but not in the center.

The accent element can be taken vertical and elongated. Then you can visually “raise” the ceilings.

Also, do not choose patterns on textiles of large sizes, it will look completely ridiculous! The best choice is a one-color solution.

Increase in space You will surely pick up some very original and comfortable option for yourself!

Don’t worry if you have a small bedroom. You can visually organize it so much more that it will not seem small at all!

Use of mirror surfaces

Give preference to the placement of mirrors. The volume of the room will be added by a mirror on the closet door, and you can “break” the space with the help of several small mirrors placed on the walls. And if they are placed opposite the window or windows, then they will not only reflect the light, but also make the small room much brighter.

If, for some reason, decorating with mirrors is unacceptable for you, then you should use stained-glass windows, tiles or panels as finishing materials.

Decorating the design of the bedroom, you can make glass elements, such as a coffee table, shelves or interior door leaf. Indeed, due to the fact that glass has transparency and visual lightness, it will not clutter up the space of the room.

Glossy walls, ceilings

Special glossy paints are often used to decorate the modern design of a small bedroom. They are able to increase the space very well if the walls are covered with them. But you can’t go overboard with the color scheme, as bright colors will cause aggression or a feeling of excitement. The color scheme is perfectly neutral and calm shades so that they do not put pressure on you. But in order to paint the walls with a pastel shade, their surface must be properly prepared so that it is very even. And all because the mirror gloss is able to refract light and absolutely any irregularities and flaws on the surface of the wall are visible, respectively, it may give the impression that the walls are painted unevenly.

By installing a glossy stretch ceiling, you can increase the space. And if you also choose the right lighting for it, then it will create a feeling of infinity.

Specially selected wallpaper for a small bedroom

You can also use photo wallpaper, in which the perspective is quite pronounced. Moreover, today there is a very large selection of such materials and therefore you can translate absolutely any idea into reality. In modern interiors, images of cities or landscapes are often used. If the room is rectangular in shape, then do not decorate the photo wallpaper on a narrow wall, as it will give the impression that you are in a long narrow tunnel.

You can use the stripes to decorate the walls. With the help of them, you can “raise” the height (using horizontal stripes) or expand the volumes (using vertical stripes). And if you choose too shiny decoration or ornate patterns, then a feeling of excessive clutter of space can be created. If you are already engaged in the interior design of the bedroom, create it in such a way that everything is harmonious, because without this you will not achieve a comfortable environment in a small room.

Choice of lighting

This item is important in the design of every room, and even more small! It is not at all necessary to install one central chandelier, as everyone is used to. The best solution is zonal lighting so that every part of the bedroom is highlighted.

For example, if you place lamps on the walls around the entire perimeter of the bedroom, then by turning them all on, you will achieve a very good ceiling height. It will also be very good to illuminate a multi-level ceiling with built-in lighting.

Balcony with bedroom

You are very lucky if you have such a layout! After all, it can be used to really increase the room. And if you include it in the design of the bedroom, you can greatly increase the square meters of the room, and also install furniture on the balcony.

If the room has a balcony, then you have much more daylight than in an ordinary small room.

Bedroom interior design with no window

Many people who have only one one-room apartment with a large room in their possession divide it in two, with the aim of decorating one half of the bedroom. Often it is the bedroom that turns out to be without natural light, that is, without a window. But this does not mean at all that in such a “corner” it will be very dark and uncomfortable. After all, there are special techniques to prevent this.

You will completely forget that there is not a single window in such a room. For example, two design options are offered, these are:

A “false” window is a fairly effective and original way to replace a real window, despite the fact that it has been used relatively recently. A frame is attached to the wall, resembling a real window frame, and you can fill it in completely different ways: wallpaper with wildlife, mirrors, stained glass, your own drawings or photographs. To make the design of such a false window more original, you can equip it with lighting and hang real curtains. Accentuating a windowless bedroom with such a design, you definitely will never be bored with it!

Partition glass can be used as a divider for your large room. Then it will visually remain the same whole. But it is not necessary that such glass be transparent. You can choose the most original sheet glass for the design of a small bedroom in 2016. For example, you can choose a three-dimensional pattern. At the same time, natural light will also enter your room and it will be much brighter.

Small Bedroom Design Styles 2016

Depending on the chosen design style of your bedroom, you can determine the character of its owner. Therefore, it is worth thinking carefully about how best to arrange it so that you feel comfortable and cozy in it. Let us consider in more detail the styles of room design and their main characteristics.

Minimalism. Very popular. As furniture, you should choose low beds, as well as chests of drawers, bedside tables, tables. The geometry of the forms is clearly expressed. There is nothing extra. Choose a muted, restrained color scheme. Colors such as white, black or gray are suitable here. If accented with bright, then the contrast should not stand out too much. It is enough that it be one or two tones richer.

Classic style. The forms of furniture should be concise, and always clear. Exclusively natural materials. Beds, cabinets and cabinets made of natural wood. You can use classic ornaments. Decoration can be with the help of mirrors and small sculptures.

Oriental style. Very similar to minimalism, but it still has elements of Japan. Furniture should also be low and simple, there is nothing superfluous. The color scheme is pastel, natural. The light is muted. You can use Japanese screens, curtains and other decorative sliding elements in an oriental style. The floor is made of natural material, pleasant to the touch, so that you can walk on it barefoot.

Decorating small bedrooms

Apartment 43sq. m in a Stalin-era house. Light interior in modern classic style with midcentury elements. I wanted to visually expand the small space of the apartment as much as possible, while organizing sufficient storage space. A light color palette, mirror and glass surfaces made it possible to achieve this. Visually lightweight pieces of furniture were used in order to keep the air in the room: thin brass shelving, a metal console, a sofa with thin brass legs. The bedroom has a separate dressing room and additional wardrobes.

Modern design of a small bedroom, 45 photos. Beautiful interiors and design

The bedroom is an intimate, private place, and it doesn’t have to be big. But what is the most practical way to use all the available space? You will learn about this in today’s article.

What colors to choose for a small bedroom?

Light colors are best for a small bedroom. Neutral colors such as white, light blue, beige, cream make the room seem larger and create a sense of calm. A similar color scheme will also allow you to give the room any mood – from the restraint of modern style to the romanticism of French.

Red wall as a bright accent

However, bright colors are not forbidden at all! There are many shades of pastel colors that will perfectly emphasize the interior of a small bedroom: for example, various options for purple, pink or blue. Coral, salmon, light green colors, as well as a combination of white and yellow look especially good.

How to choose furniture for a small bedroom?

When space is limited, every square centimeter must be used wisely. When choosing furniture, you need to limit yourself to the most necessary and look for the most functional models. Avoid rounded furniture, it reduces the usable area of the room. But furniture with straight lines allows you to use space much more efficiently.

Functional furniture for a small bedroom

Canopy beds or sumptuous baroque furniture are not suitable for a small bedroom. Choose furniture exactly the size that you need. Are there two people in the room? Opt for a semi-double bed instead of a double bed. This wise decision will allow you to allocate additional space, for example, for storing things. By the way, beds at low prices can be bought directly from the factory, saving not only space, but also money.

A single bed will allow you to make room for other needs

In a very small room, you can place the bed along the wall. Perhaps this way you will lose one bedside table, but you can install a larger wardrobe.

You can free up extra space by positioning the bed along the wall.

Consider how you can make the best use of your headboard. Is it possible to place a mezzanine above the bed? Another good option is a shelf above the head of the bed, where you can not only store various little things, but also install decorative elements that will decorate the entire interior. Like the tree in the photo below.

Mezzanines above the bed allow you to use the vertical space of a small bedroom

beds with drawers. Without taking up room space, you increase storage space in this way.

Bed with drawers in loft room

There are quite non-trivial, but even more interesting options. The bed can be installed on the podium, which will fit no less things than in a large closet. And if the height of the ceilings allows (or if you are not embarrassed by the ceiling hanging directly above you), your choice may be the “two-story” planning of the room. A bunk bed for adults will make it possible to place a wardrobe, a work desk, a sofa or just a TV under it.

Bunk bed – an interesting solution for a small bedroom

Bed on the podium

Of course, you can refuse the bed altogether, opting for a sofa bed. During the day it will be a cozy place for reading, watching TV, chatting with guests, with one movement of the hand turning into a comfortable bed at night. Many sofa beds have a linen storage box, eliminating the hassle of adding extra blankets and pillows.

The chest can replace the wardrobe and become a decoration of the room

The remaining space in the bedroom belongs to the closet. Mirrored doors visually increase the area of the room, although not everyone likes this option. In any case, it’s wise to opt for a full-height cabinet, as you’ll win a quarter or even a third more storage space for yourself. On the upper shelves you can store things that you don’t access so often: extra bedding sets, winter things in the summer, Christmas decorations, etc.

Mirrored closet doors optically increase the space of a small bedroom

Swing closet doors “steal” the usable area of a small bedroom. Therefore, the most preferred option is a wardrobe.

Sliding closet doors free up space in the room

Small bedroom decor

A small bedroom should not be “overloaded” with decorative elements, otherwise it will seem even smaller. However, individual details of the same color scheme will enliven the room. A bedspread, pillows, sconces, plants and sculptures of rhyming flowers will create a holistic and harmonious interior.

Bright rhyming elements in the interior of a small bedroom

Avoid dark thick curtains, opt for light transparent curtains. For more comfort, you can lay a small carpet in front of the bed.

Sheer curtains and carpet make the bedroom cozy

Lighting in a small bedroom

Consider additional lighting options in addition to the chandelier. At the head of the bed, it is worth placing sconces or floor lamps, which will make it possible to read before going to bed. In addition, it makes sense to plan out diffused lighting options that will create additional soft light accents and make the whole room more comfortable.

Ambient lighting allows you to adjust the light from dim to bright

Choice of wall colors

Choose light colors for wall decoration in a small room. Such colors tend to reflect natural light, due to which the space is visually enlarged.

Shades are warm and cold. Which one to choose for a small bedroom? It is believed that warm colors help create a cozy atmosphere. This is true, but it is best to use both in the interior.

The cool shade of the walls will help make the room visually more spacious, as if filled with air. Textiles of warm colors will help to balance the interior. The result is a cozy, bright bedroom.

When choosing the color of the walls, you should also take into account the peculiarities of the location of the room.

If the windows face the sunny side, cold shades will be the best choice: gray, blue, mint.

For rooms where natural light is not enough, it is preferable to use warm colors: beige, pink, sand.

It is optimal if the walls are plain or the pattern is muted. Bright walls will not be able to promote relaxation and restful sleep.

The following design techniques will help expand the space:

ceiling and walls of the same color. Due to the smooth transition, the ceiling will appear higher;

wallpaper with 3D effect. Perspective drawings create the effect of volume, which is important for a room with a small area;

3D wall texture. Textured wallpaper, plaster or paint can be used for finishing. Due to the play of light and shadow, the room will seem more spacious.

No more than two colors per finish

In a small bedroom, use one or two shades. To make the interior seem more interesting, add textures. In addition to textured wall decoration, it can be a voluminous carpet on the floor or a blanket knitted from thick threads on the bed.

According to psychologists, white, beige, as well as shades of blue and green help to relax and relieve stress.

Here are some designs:

Monochrome design. The design is based on one color. Such an interior will not be boring: many shades and halftones create the necessary volume and expressiveness. In addition, you should make the most of the variety of textures: wood, textiles, fur, embossing. Interesting effects can be achieved through well-chosen lighting.

Color combination. A harmonious combination of shades helps to create a comfortable atmosphere in the room, which will have a beneficial effect on the psychological state. The main color should occupy at least 60% of the space.

Gradient. A smooth transition is a variant of non-standard wall design. Have a lighter shade near the ceiling, and a darker one near the floor. This technique will help visually increase the height of the walls.

Examples of successful combinations.

Single color bed linen only

For a small bedroom, choose single-colour bed linen made of cotton, silk or linen. However, let’s assume a dim drawing.

Monochromatic underwear has a number of advantages:

An even tone soothes, setting you up for a sound sleep.

Single color options are versatile and will match any style.

Monochrome sets can be combined with each other. For example, a sheet from one set will fit a duvet cover from another.

Ceiling flat, matt

If the room is small, the ceiling should be designed as simply as possible. The best option is to make a stretch matte ceiling in white. You should not choose a glossy surface, as it will reflect all the objects in the room, and there will be a feeling of congestion in the interior.

Electrical wiring, switches and sockets

In the bedroom, every detail should be conducive to good rest. Sockets and switches must be in place to prevent the use of extension cords.

Where sockets are traditionally installed:

above bedside tables – at a level of 15 cm above their surface; with their help it will be possible to charge a phone or tablet;

in the recreation area where the TV is located, a block of 3-5 sockets – at around 130 cm above the floor;

15-30 cm above the floor – for vacuum cleaner, humidifier or fan.

The switch for the main light source is located at the door – at a distance of 75-90 cm from the floor. In the bedroom, it will be convenient to use walk-through (marching) switches that independently control the same light source.

For example, the main light can be turned on from different points in the room: being at the door or lying in bed.

Lighting in a small bedroom

When planning lighting, you should take into account the characteristics of the human body. The fact is that following the biological clock, a person internally begins to prepare for sleep in advance.

Already a couple of hours before going to bed, the body begins to produce melatonin, a hormone that promotes good sleep. Bright light interferes with the production of this substance.

What kind of lighting would be optimal for a comfortable sleep?

Additional light sources must not be bright.

The temperature value should not exceed 3000 K – this is the so-called warm light. The relevant information is given on the packaging of the lamps.

Visual increase in space

Not only the color scheme, but also several design techniques will help to visually enlarge the bedroom.

A mirror is a proven way to push the boundaries of space. The room will seem not only more spacious, but also brighter, due to the reflected sunlight. Most often, a mirror is installed on the cabinet door. Another option is to place a half-meter-wide mirror strip at the top of the wall, along the ceiling.

The gentle color range we have already mentioned will also work in your favor. Avoid large patterns on wallpaper, curtains and bedspreads. You can use a small pattern or vertical lines that visually help to increase the height of the walls.

Avoid massive pieces of furniture, lamps, excess decorative elements, draperies. Give preference to hanging shelves instead of heavy chests of drawers.

Particular attention to the window. Nothing should interfere with the penetration of light rays through the window opening. Hang light curtains or roller blinds instead of heavy curtains. The window sill should not be cluttered with flowers – it is better to place them in a more spacious room. How to choose curtains for the bedroom, we wrote in this article.

How to arrange furniture in a small bedroom

Arranging furniture in a small bedroom is not an easy task. However, even on several squares, you can organize a functional space.

How to position the bed

The bed should be positioned in such a way that the sleeper is comfortable.

There must be no drafts around.

Leave a passage of about 70-80 cm to make getting out of bed comfortable.

It is important to understand who is the master of the bedroom – a lark or an owl. If you are used to waking up late, the rays of the sun in the morning will only bother you. The sun moves from east to west. The morning rays will penetrate first of all into the western part of the room.

This could very well be a bed belonging to a lark. But if the owner of the bedroom is an owl, it is better for him to sleep in the eastern part of the room, where the sun’s rays will reach later.

Ideal layout in the Bedroom

Wardrobe and bedside tables

The classic option is to place bedside tables on both sides of the bed. However, for small rooms, this arrangement is not the best. An alternative to cabinets can be shelves above the headboard.

It’s great if the size of the bedroom allows you to install a wardrobe. If this is not possible, consider placing narrow cabinets on the sides of the bed – instead of bedside tables.

Bedding is usually stored in a chest of drawers. But sometimes a podium with storage compartments becomes more convenient than a traditional chest of drawers.

Where to store things in a small bedroom

Even in a small bedroom, you can find storage space. Here are some ideas:

Baskets or drawers under the bed.

Shelves above the bed.

Open coat hangers.

Space behind the screen where shelves and hangers can be placed.

Podium (bed riser) with storage compartments.

Shelving – unlike closed cabinets, they do not clutter up the space.

Preferred Interior Styles for a Small Bedroom

The basic rule for small spaces is minimal details and discreet decor. Based on this, choose the appropriate style.

It is not necessary to decorate a small bedroom in the following styles: Provence, classic, shabby chic. The listed options suggest a variety of decor, which is inappropriate in a small room.

Minimalism

Minimalism is best suited for limited spaces. This style is usually chosen by people with a rational view of the world. The main features of minimalism:

lack of ornaments and intricate patterns;

one or two shades in the interior;

flat surfaces;

simple furniture.

Loft style

Loft is associated with industrial premises transformed into living space. Brick or concrete walls, wide window openings, boards as flooring, almost complete lack of decor – these are the features of the style.

When designing a small bedroom, you can use the following loft style elements:

Large windows. By expanding the openings, you can visually enlarge the space. Instead of curtains, it is better to use blinds.

Minimum parts. It is not necessary to completely abandon the decor, but you can decorate the room as concisely as possible. Original clocks and vintage paintings will fit perfectly into the style.

Minimum textile. Bedspreads and a rug by the bed will be enough.

Open clothes hangers are often used in loft style, which is well suited for a small room.

Hi-tech

Modern technologies, mirror surfaces, strict geometry, play of light – that’s what characterizes hi-tech. The restraint and functionality of the style is perfect for a small bedroom.

Several points around the ceiling can be installed as lighting. Luminaires with chrome surfaces are one of the manifestations of style.

Avoid complicated patterns when choosing textiles. Geometric patterns would be appropriate – abstract lines, zigzags.

Hi-tech style bed without backrest, but with shelves and drawers for storage. A stylish element is the illumination along the lower contour of the bed.

Hi-tech accessory options:

abstract paintings and sculptures;

large mirror;

live plants in unusually shaped containers;

photo wallpapers.
