Whatever you may have heard, small living done right isn’t about how many furniture pieces you can cram into one room; it’s about take a less conventional approach to standard furnishings and still being able to live stylishly and comfortably. 

Besides, isn’t a cosy and convenient room so much more special than a giant layout that has too much floor space? Even if you don’t have enough room for a side table and closet, there are numerous ways to work around the problem of space – or rather lack thereof. 

You could, for instance, ditch the bedside table altogether and opt for a floating shelf instead. Perhaps even bring in a loft-sized bed? 

Let’s see some more possibilities in which you can save space (but still keep the style) in a small bedroom.

1. Go up with a loft bed

Why not move that bed way up and insert some storage cabinets underneath? This can free up a lot of space and help keep the bedroom clutter-free, which is always a winner.

2. Free up the floor

Free up some much-needed floor space by mounting a few storage cabinets above the headboard. That area tends to be underused so often, so you may as well use it to keep spare linen, winter clothing, shoes, and a range of other bedroom necessities.

3. Let that windowsill work for you

That windowsill can do so much more than just look pretty. How about you put it to work and allow it to form a bench-style seat (complete with plush pillows and some colour and pattern, obviously), or even a little nightstand for your books?

4. Lose the table lights and opt for pendants

Lighting in a bedroom is important, but no rule states it has to come from your bedside table. Mount some glowing beauties on the walls or ceiling instead, freeing up some floor- and side table space. 

And if you really want your room to strike a bright pose, you can add some mirrors in to make those lights dance stylishly around the room.

5. Bring in double-duty furniture

Multipurpose furniture is heaven sent, especially when it comes to a one-room apartment. In our example above, we see how a generously proportioned side table functions as a space divider between bedroom and living room, while also helping out with some storage.

6. Build a sleeping platform

Another option would be to install a sleeping platform complete with sliding drawers, as shown in our ingenious example above. This completely cancels out the need for bedside tables; plus the streamlined look goes a long way in making this small bedroom feel stylishly spacious.

7. From side tables to clothing closets

If there is room for decent-sized side tables, what about making them extend all the way to the ceiling and calling them ‘closets’ instead? Just see how this lovely bedroom above accomplished it! 

Always ready with a new idea, see here how you can: Transform an unused room into a walk-in closet.

8. Customised furniture

For those who want to squeeze the most functionality out of a very small space we recommend customised furniture. All it takes is a professional who knows his way around tools and small spaces to conjure up a most stylish bedroom.

Just look to the bedroom shown above for some chic inspiration.
