How to Utilize Space in a Small Bedroom

Feeling open and organized can turn any small space into a cozy and comfortable environment. Getting organized can allow you to keep all your favorite items in your bedroom while still personalizing the area and feeling unconfined. 

Although it can be a challenge to find a place for all your things, figuring out how to maximize your space can make all the difference. The good news is that you can create a functional and stylish space, even in a small bedroom. Decluttering is a great start, but there are plenty of other ways to enhance your area, too. 

If you're looking for ways to use your space better, we've got some small bedroom ideas to help.

Small Bedroom Ideas to Maximize Space

Whether you're looking for a way to maximize space in a studio apartment, down-size from your current living situation or find creative ways to decorate and brighten your room, we've got some great small-space hacks.  

Get Creative With Storage

One of the best ways to convert your small room into a functional one is by utilizing and maximizing storage. Some simple ideas include investing in:

  • Wall-mounted cabinets
  • A bed frame with drawers
  • A cork or bulletin board to hang jewelry
  • A corner closet
  • Pegs at the back of your closet for shoes and accessories
  • A painted ladder for blankets or books
  • Shelving units
  • Floating shelves
  • Standard shelving
  • Drawer organizers

There are plenty of ways to get creative with storage. Whether you're looking to use your current furniture or find some space-efficient ones, there are endless options.

Invest in Multipurpose Furniture 

Incorporating transformable furniture pieces is a functional way to enhance any area. For example, if your guest room doubles as your office, you could maximize space with a wall bed with a table. This Penelope dining piece quickly transforms from a comfortable dining table or desk to a queen bed.

To completely transform your space, consider looking into wall beds, bunk beds and other furniture that can help you create a room you can use for multiple purposes, such as a bedroom and office. A multipurpose wall bed is one of the easiest ways to maximize your space.

Small Bedroom Furniture Ideas

If you're wondering how to furnish a small bedroom, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of options. Whether you want to find more storage space, need to maximize your seating or are looking to create a home office, you can choose from many different furniture types. 

Maximize Seating

If you're looking to add more seating to your room, consider a wall bed with a sofa. Pieces such as a Swing 0 provide ample seating for friends and family members while also doubling as an easy pull-down bed.

You may also want to consider foldable or stackable seating. Chairs like these allow you to have enough space for any guests or family members while making storage easy when you aren't using them.

Create a Work Space

With many people now working from home, it's important to have a designated workspace. Wall beds with tables and desks are an efficient way to separate work and rest while maximizing your space. This Circe Board features a horizontal queen bed and desk. For additional storage, you could also place shelves above the bed.

If you want another way to create an efficient office space, you could try a transforming Home Office piece. You can keep your bed and desk separate while still maximizing your area by using furniture that makes it easy to set aside work at the end of the day. You can easily pull it out the desk when you need it, and when you finish, you simply close up the unit.

Use Beds That Include Storage

If you're looking for storage space, many options are available. Beds with storage allow for organized storage and can easily match the tone of your room as it already is. These beds are a convenient way to put away items that furniture such as dressers and wardrobes would typically hold. By storing these items under your bed, you can eliminate other pieces and create more floor space. 

You could also combine wall storage with your bed. This LGM piece has ample shelf space and storage. Pulling down into a bed and a desk, this piece allows you to maximize your space and still have a modern, unique look.

Try Modular Base Units

Whether you're looking for a dresser alternative, furniture with more storage space or a functional place to put your television, modular base units can help you create an open space. These pieces seamlessly fit into your room and provide ample options to keep things tidy. 

For example, our shallow base units come in all shapes and sizes with various storage options. You can put them by your bed to serve as a functional nightstand, by your desk to grow your workspace or place them in the center of a wall to utilize the tops and insides. Your options are endless.
