Bedroom Ideas for Small Rooms

Small bedroom ideas need to cater for many different types of rooms, small bedroom layout requires some ingenuous bespoke storage solutions to create a functional, welcoming, well planned room. Firstly, consider how you wish to use the space, is it a single function room, or to be converted into a multi-purpose space? Perhaps a study with desk area and bed sofa that can be used for when guests and family come to stay, or is it an overflow wardrobe closet or walk in wardrobe. Secondly, consider your colour schemes and the mood you wish to set in the room that reflects the use of the area, lighter colours tend to be more giving and welcoming when space has multiple functions. With such a wide choice of wardrobe door designs, colours and texture. Your wardrobes door colours are a great way to extend your colour scheme when complimenting wall finish or creating a contrast of darker doors on lighter walls.

Small Bedroom Furniture

One of your first considerations for small bedroom furniture is, do I want a double bed frame or a single bed and how will it fit?  Will there be enough space to walk around a double bed frame?  If the answer is no! and a double size bed is important, then create a multi-functional space with a small bedroom sofa bed or wall bed, also known as a pull down bed. Options are available for both double and single pull down beds. Pushing a bed against a wall will help with floor area and creates storage options for a wardrobe cupboard over bed space.  Floating shelves above a bed provide practical storage, and with scatter cushions below, become a corner area to sit with friends, ideal for a teen bedroom.

Wooden Venetian blinds painted in white are also a great space saver leaving more wall space, adding to a modern bedroom look.  There are numerous types of desks for a small bedroom, wall mounted folding desks are ideal small desks for small spaces, helping to neatly stow away when not in use, perfect for a study or play and keeping floor area open.  If your small bedroom layout is too restrictive around the bed, consider bedside floating shelves instead of bedside tables or a small chest of drawers to place table lamps for the bedroom.  Fitting a wardrobe closet in a small bedroom with or without angled wardrobe doors will require an area for wardrobe assembly, and it may be necessary to store and part build wardrobes in another bedroom.
