Living in a small space requires a little bit of extra thinking and creativity. You have to consider things like smart storage solutions, how to arrange a tight space, and how to determine what deserves a spot in your home. This being said, your personal style is easy to unlock when it comes to designing a bedroom, no matter how small it may be. There are plenty of shining examples out there that will provide you with all the inspiration you need when brainstorming your next move or purchase.
When it comes to decorating a small bedroom, first and foremost, it's important to remember that the layout is everything. Once you have your furniture placement down, you can start pulling pieces you really like—soft bed linens, soothing accents, and even artwork. While minimalism and small bedrooms often go hand-in-hand, if you prefer maximalism in all its glory, colorful, patterned styles can work in small spaces, too. Ahead you'll find numerous options for decorating and creating storage opportunities in smalls bedroom that just might convince you bigger isn't always better.
1. Make a Murphy bed chic
Long gone are the days of basic Murphy beds. You can easily make one of these fold-out beds your own by treating the bed's framework like a regular wall. Add artwork, paint it, or drape textiles behind your bed, as seen in this California studio.
2. Get creative with foot-of-the-bed storage
Don't limit yourself to plastic containers and closet storage cubes when there are so many types of storage available, particularly decorative pieces that you can leave out in plain view. Try an end-of-bed trunk or storage bench. You'll be able to find one that suits your decor perfectly, as seen in this this Dutch home. Find one with a tiny footprint, and you're all set. This area can also double as a spot to set out your clothes for the next day or even put on your shoes.
3. Separate space with an accent wall
Even if you're occupying a studio, like this adorable one in the Bronx, you can make the most of your space. A little bit of paint, in the form of an accent wall behind your bed, not only adds a burst of color, but it also provides a strategic, visual separation between your sleeping space and living area.
4. Utilize narrow storage cabinets
Plenty of cute storage options exist for filling awkward spots and tight spaces in your home. The narrow cabinets in this New York bedroom prove how storage pieces painted in the same color as your walls can recede visually, making your space look airy without sacrificing precious storage opportunities.
5. Play with proportions
Layering a simple bed frame on top of an oversized rug can instantly amplify your space and make it appear larger. Take this San Francisco bedroom, for example, and picture it with a lavish headboard or an upholstered bed frame. You can imagine how much more cramped the space would feel if it didn't have simple furniture with streamlined silhouettes.
6. Go with a ghost chair
The greatest thing about Ghost chairs—aka clear acrylic ones—is that visually, they are so light, you barely see them (i.e. less visual clutter). Not only are they super stylish—they won't further cramp up your tiny bedroom.
7. Add floating shelves
8. Work a room divider
Don't technically have a separate bedroom? A bookcase that doubles as a room divider can work wonders for a cramped studio. It'll designate your sleeping space, but also the space between your books and decor is enough to let light stream in.
Buy: Adjustable Bookcase, $38.99 from Amazon
9. Consider hanging racks
Hanging garment racks are a clever way to score more closet storage (or create a closet out of nowhere) without taking up an inch of floor space. A dresser underneath creates the perfect dressing area.
Buy: Metal Garment Rack, $37.99 from Amazon
10. Install a swing arm sconce or two
If you've been searching for a stylish way to bring more lighting into your cramped bedroom (without taking up too much space), consider swing-arm wall sconces. Not only are they much less bulky than most table lamps and pendants, these wall-mounted wonders are designed with adjustable arms for a more space-savvy lighting solution.
Buy: Permo Vintage Industrial Wall Sconce, $69.99 from Amazon
11. Leaning layered art looks good
If you're an art lover but lacking the space to show off your treasured works in your bedroom, a shelf or nightstand layered with framed art can make a big impact without wasting any space.
Buy: Mandalay Gold Frame, starting from $39 from Framebridge
12. Get creative with shelving
When every bit of wall space counts, why not try shelving that doubles as art? A cool hanging shelf allows you to store (and show off) your favorite trinkets and display your beloved baubles, and won't take up an inch of floor space.
Buy: Rustic Wood Floating Shelf, $37.99 from Amazon
13. Accessorize Away
14. Floating desk
Who says you need a big bedroom to create your own workspace? A wall-mounted shelf beautifully doubles as a personal desk and mounts directly to your wall for added efficiency.
Buy: Alise 2-Tier Heavy Duty Floating Shelf, $29.99 from Amazon
15. Consider a modern Murphy bed
16. Houseplants work wonders
You don't always need two nightstands, especially if you're sleeping alone. Just add plants. It'll bring fast style to your bedroom without the need for a bulky piece of furniture and will help clean your air, too. Win, win!
Buy: Majesty Palm, $31.35 from Home Depot
17. Try nesting tables instead of nightstands
Place a pair of nesting tables next to your bed instead of a traditional nightstand and you can instantly create more storage room for when you might need it without bringing in more furniture to do the job (plus, bonus points, you can use the empty space underneath the tables for even more storage in baskets or crates).
Buy: Weathered Oak Nesting Tables, $42.99 from Amazon
18. Daybeds aren't just for kids
If you thought daybeds were just for kids then think again. Along with offering a more compact bed frame, some versions come with built-in drawers for more storage. They're also great for doubling as a sofa.
Buy: Aria Metal Daybed, $209 from Urban Outfitters
19. Don't overlook the foot of your bed
Putting a storage bench, baskets or even crates at the foot of your bed is a smart way to squeeze in more of whatever you need. This typically only takes up about a foot of space but the payoff is invaluable.
Buy: Bamboo Bench, 3-Tier, $45.99 from Amazon
20. Hanging lights
Looking for a stylish way to bring more lighting into your bedroom without further cramping the space? A pendant light, or any hanging light for that matter, instantly brightens up a room and doesn't require an inch of table or floor space.
Buy: Plug-In Pendant, $16.62 from Amazon
21. Devise a desk vanity
Dealing with a dreaded small space double whammy (i.e. a tiny bedroom and bathroom)? Turn a super slim desk setup in your bedroom into a vanity with nothing more than a wall mirror.
Buy: Simple Study Desk, $99.99 from Amazon
22. Create vertical storage
Ask any New Yorker, or small space dweller for that matter, how they pack in more storage room in their tiny apartments and they'll say the same thing: think vertically. Whether with wall-mounted shelves or suspended lights, you can always build up when you run out of eye-level storage room.
Buy: Wooden Floating Wall Shelves, $51.97 from Amazon
23. Open up with bare white walls
You can always count on clean white walls to really brighten and open up a cramped bedroom (particularly one that gets good natural light).
Buy: Behr Ultra Eggshell Enamel, $32.98 from Home Depot
24. Make it happen with a side table
Sometimes all you need next to your bed is a small table to hold a glass of water and your alarm/cellphone. A thin pedestal table is perfect for placing bedside miscellany without adding more clutter in a room with larger furnishings.
Buy: Poly and Bark Daisy 20" Wood Side Table in Black Base, $158.35 from Amazon
25. Leaning ladders matter
There is a part of this bedroom that's perfect to borrow inspiration from for a far tighter space: a slim leaning ladder. These clever pieces allow you to hang up your purses and scarves (and other accessories) in style, no hammer and nails necessary.
Buy: 4-Tier Ladder Shelf, $68.99 from Amazon
