How to furnish a small bedroom?

In the text below, we present tips and ideas for decorating a bedroom in which, we do not have enough space to place standard furniture. A great deal of our visitors and buyers of furniture is faced with the question of how to furnish a bedroom, especially if it is very small.

Considering the fact that each bedroom actually needs basic furniture (a bed frame for one or two people), a wardrobe, a nightstand and, if necessary, a low chest of drawers for storing underwear and socks, it can happen very quickly that the bedroom runs out of space for all these items. It is even more difficult to find room for some additional furniture or for additional bedroom decor ideas.

Bed frame choice ideas

One of the options in small bedrooms is placing a bed frame, which can be raised so that the space under the bed can be used as a wardrobe (for storing extra bedding or winter wardrobe). Often in a case like this, small-bedroom furnishers opt for a lift up bed that has a lifting part designed from feet to head.

However, there are other options for lift up beds. In the furniture market you can definitely also find a lift up bed that gets lifted from the side. This gives side access to the part of the bed under the mattress.

About bedroom cabinets...

xtra space in a small bedroom can be saved by nightstands that can be “tucked away” under or into the bed frame itself - unless you need them, of course.

Instead of classic, typical cabinets for bedroom, you can select built-in cabinets, and for wardrobes for clothing choose narrower, more shallow wardrobes, and those which have sliding doors instead of the classic ones.

For not having to look for additional space to install a mirror, choose one that has its door partially or completely covered with a mirror.

How to choose a nightstand?

You can also save some space in a small bedroom with a deliberate choice of a night stand. If there is not enough space between the wall and the bed frame, consider narrower and smaller nightstands, in some cases, it is not necessary to place nightstands on each side of the bed frame.

Nightstands can be a great complement to your bedrooms, and you can choose one that fits your style and look of a bedroom and also have some open and also closed drawers. This way you will put things that you do not need to have on the cabinet all the time during the day in a drawer, and the look of the bedroom will be more soothing and tidy.

Choosing a mattress and bed frame…

For bed frames, first and foremost, make sure that you choose the one that can fit the type of mattress that best suits your sleeping habits and needs. Only then have the aesthetics and price in mind. The average person “sleeps” almost a third of their day, so it is very important that you first choose bed and mattress which suits you, and only then that you like it visually.
