Put up some long shelves measuring the entire length of the wall the bed is set against - 3 or 4 - for books and stuffed animals and general stuff. The end of the bed should probably be against the window, alongside a wall. You can disguise them with fabric if you want. They are like upturned square flowerpots. Buy a chest of drawers or two that will fit under the divan and a set of bed risers (or two sets) to lift the bed up enough to get it above the drawers. A comfy chair might be pushing it, but a couple of big floor cushions, or a beanbag, that can be stashed under the bed when not in use might do instead.īuy a bedframe that isn't too bulky (Ikea Tarva for example). Now, if you can get a smallish chest of drawers that doubles as a desk, all you need to add is a stool, and you've got a study space. We've got a big mirror over the chest of drawers, and a table lamp on it, which doubles as a bedside light for our guests. It feels like the small room it is, but it's cosy rather than claustrophobic, which is how I always feel about rooms with loft beds. We have a single bed under the window, a chest of drawers right beside it, at the head, and a small wardobe (ikea pax, 50cm wide) beside that, right in the corner at the door end. Our spare room is the same size (a little skinnier on the window wall, a little longer on the other) and layout as yours. To be honest, I don't think loft beds are a great idea, unless there's no other way of fitting furniture in, and I think in your case, there is. I really want to cheer DD up as we have all had a bit of a tough time recently. Any and all ideas really gratefully received. We don't have much money to do this, and I have been looking on the web, but not seen anything that fits the room design so far. An additional soft chair or desk space would be great. Ultimately, we need to get a bed, some hanging space and some storage space in there. We were thinking of buying/buildng a loft bed to maximise space, but this would obviously have to come across the window, whether it went in alongside the window, or with one end against it. The window is 5ft wide, which means the room is light, but there iseems to be no way of putting furniture in that doesn't obstructing the window (unless the furniture is very low). The room is square (obviously) with a door at one end and the window on the opposite wall. It feels much, much smaller, and we are struggling to find ways to make it work. Alongside all the other issues, this has meant that DD (12) has had to move from a reasonable sized room (11x11ft) to one that is 7.5x7.5ft. Also, it’s never a bad idea to hang some vibrant faux plants or fresh green plants packed with oxygen.Due to change of circumstances, we have had to downsize. No matter how you hack your small bedroom, don’t forget to look up! All the above configurations leave plenty of room for floating shelves that can be customized to your heart’s content. As long as your bed is centered along the wall, you’ll have ample room for nightstands, floating shelves and other multifunctional pieces. Situate your desk on the wall next to the dresser for a designated work station. To give your furniture some breathing room, start by placing your bed and dresser on opposite ends of the room. If space permits, place a bench at the foot of your bed for an added dose of style and convenience. If only one side is open, slide in a dresser that can play double duty as second nightstand. This frees up space on the sides for matching nightstands, and a comfy chair in the empty corner. This full-proof layout plays your bed and desk (or dresser) on opposites sides. In case there are any tricky corners above the bed, add floating shelves to help fill the space, create storage and display your personal style. A desk next to your bed can serve as a nightstand as well. Leave a little space against the wall, if possible, to make your room feel larger. In case your bedroom is barely big enough to fit a bed, try pushing it against the wall. Get inspired by these three bedroom layout ideas to get the most out of your relaxing retreat. Like a puzzle, it can take a little shuffling and trial-and-error to get a small space feeling just right. Your bedroom is where you start and end your day.
