Small Bedroom, Big Style: Space-Saving Furniture Ideas For Cosy Spaces

When it comes to creating a comfortable, stylish and functional bedroom, size should never be a barrier. Even the smallest spaces can be transformed into a cosy sanctuary with the right space-saving bedroom furniture and decor. This guide will help you create a big impact in your small bedroom, combining style and functionality that maximises every metre of space you have.

Assess your space first

Before diving into the transformation, it’s crucial to understand your bedroom’s layout clearly. Measure your space and consider how you move from one corner or area to another to identify the best furniture arrangements and storage solutions.

Space-saving furniture ideas

Your bedroom is a sanctuary where you start your day and unwind before bed. It should be a space that embodies your taste while optimising your routine in the best possible way.

If you have a small bedroom, consider the following space-saving solutions:

Beds with storage

A bed with drawers or a lift-up base offers ample space for storing bedding, clothes and other essentials, eliminating the need for additional bulky furniture. Opt for one of Bedworks’ beds with your choice of storage bases, such as our 2-drawer or 4-drawer options or 100% Australian-made gas lift beds that raise your mattress so you can easily access your essentials or everyday items.

Convertible desks and tables

A fold-down desk or a compact, extendable table provides a workspace when needed and folds away to free up space. Some designs are mounted on the wall and can be folded down when needed, offering a temporary workspace that disappears after use. Others feature adjustable heights or extendable surfaces, allowing them to adapt to different activities, from working on a laptop to crafting or enjoying a meal.

Another option worth considering is a portable bedroom desk — it’s ideal for multipurpose rooms that serve as a bedroom and a home office.

Foldable and wall-mounted furniture

Foldable and wall-mounted furniture maximises floor space by allowing furniture to be stored away when not in use. Foldable chairs, tables and wall-mounted nightstands can significantly increase available space.

Foldable chairs can be hung on hooks or stored in closets and, when combined with a foldable table, they create a dining or working nook that can be completely cleared away. This furniture is perfect for maintaining a clutter-free environment and adjusting your bedroom daily to suit your needs.

Loft beds

Loft beds elevate the sleeping area, opening the floor space beneath for other uses. This design is particularly effective in small bedrooms or studios where every square metre counts. The space below the loft bed can be utilised for various functions — a workspace with a desk and shelves, a cosy sitting area with a couch and TV or even just for extra storage.

Loft beds optimise vertical space and add a unique architectural element to bedroom design, making them a great option for those looking to maximise their living space.

Overhead shelves

Installing shelves above the bed or around the perimeter of your room provides space for books, decor and essentials without taking up valuable floor space. It also adds a touch of personality to your room to make the space feel truly your own, whether it’s photos, mementos, indoor plants or your favourite books, helping to keep the room organised and clutter-free. This solution emphasises vertical space utilisation, drawing the eye upward and making the room feel larger.

Hidden storage

Ottomans with storage, beds with headboard shelves and benches with hidden compartments offer clever ways to hide clutter and keep your small bedroom organised.

Custom-made bedroom furniture

While custom-made bedroom furniture may include a higher initial cost, it makes for a worthwhile long-term investment in your home for many reasons. It’s specifically designed to optimise your bedroom space, provides the option for additional storage and reflects your unique taste. By selecting every aspect of your bedroom furniture, you can have a say in how you spend your money and budget accordingly.

Other tips on decorating for the illusion of space

Opt for light colours

Pale hues reflect light, making the space feel open and airy. Light colours can visually recede when applied to walls, ceilings and even floors, pushing the room’s boundaries outward. Soft shades of white, cream, pale blue and light grey are particularly effective.

Utilise mirrors

Mirrors are magical when it comes to increasing the perception of space. By reflecting light and views, mirrors create a sense of depth and openness. Placing a large mirror on one wall or arranging a series of smaller mirrors can effectively double the visual space of a room.

For maximum impact, position mirrors to reflect natural light from windows or to capture the view of an outdoor area, which brings an additional layer of depth to the space.

Consider functional decor

Choose decor that doubles as storage, like baskets or wall-mounted organisers. This approach keeps your essentials handy while adding a stylistic touch to the room.

Use rugs to define spaces

Use rugs to separate areas within your small bedroom, such as a sleeping area and a workspace. This helps to organise the space visually without the need for physical barriers.

Choose proper lighting

Good lighting can transform a room. Use a combination of overhead, task and ambient lighting to create a warm, inviting space. Consider wall-mounted lights or clip-on lamps to save on surface space.

Be selective with your bedroom furniture to create an open, airy feel

In small bedrooms, the choice of furniture can significantly impact the perception of space. Streamlined furniture with clean lines and a slim profile takes up less visual and physical space, contributing to a more open feel. Look for pieces raised on legs, which create a sense of lightness and allow light to flow around them.

This approach minimises visual clutter and makes it easier to move around the room. Opt for furniture that blends with the wall colour to reduce visual fragmentation and enhance the room’s cohesive, spacious feel.

Shop bedroom furniture at Bedworks to optimise your space
