Small Bedroom Design Ideas
Looking for small bedroom design ideas? A small space can be a blessing or a curse. If you’re in the process of renovating or decorating yours and have hit a dead end, this image gallery will inspire you with ideas around paint, storage or decoration. You’ll see that anything is possible, even in a small and narrow bedroom! So let’s get started.
How are you going to use your small bedroom?
Firstly, there’s many ways to use a small bedroom. Even if yours is more of a spare room right now, it may change with your needs. It can be a home office today, a nursery tomorrow and a kids bedroom in future! There really are no limits to your imagination. So ask yourself what you’ll be using the room for. Will it house your hobby and turn into an art studio? Will you use it as a home gym or yoga space? Who will use the room? Your son may want to turn it into a home theater or man cave with gaming setup, or your daughter may want a dressing room with makeup vanity. Whatever it will be for you, you can be sure to find inspiration in the Houzz image gallery.
The most common multi purpose use of a small bedroom is probably an office space. With people increasingly working from home, it makes sense to squeeze a desk and chair into a nook and use the room to work during the day and to sleep at night. It may be nice to look for a stow-away option so work isn’t the first thing you see when you wake up.
If your small bedroom is your master bedroom, it will likely have an ensuite attached to it. In which case, you may be lucky to fit in a king size bed and a wardrobe, and because of the lack of choices, the design should come together quite easily. All you have to do is decide on your style. Speaking of which!
What design ideas are you after?
Your bedroom is where you sleep, so you likely want a clean design. It’s no wonder minimalist, Japanese and modern bedroom designs are the most popular on Houzz. But it’s not just about a clean look - you also want your bedroom to feel comfortable. The colours, textiles and decor items you choose can make a big difference here. Grey accent walls, plush carpet flooring and beautiful curtains are common options to achieve a cosy feel - add an air-purifying plant and you have the perfect atmosphere for a good night's sleep. If you want to keep things simple but still achieve wow-factor, lighting is your friend. Statement pendant lights can really make your bedroom shine, even if it’s small!
Another factor is clutter - if a small room is cluttered, it feels even smaller, so smart storage is key. If you want to maximise space, working with a cabinet maker can make all the difference.
