Small Bedroom Ideas: The Best Ways to Maximize Your Tiny Space

When designing a small bedroom, the more multifunctional the furnishings the better. A storage bed is a foolproof way to gain some extra space.

The IKEA Malm is the perfect bed to squeeze into a tiny room or a cramped bedroom corner. It provides as much or more storage as beds we found with built-in drawers, but it doesn’t require any clearance around the frame.

Take advantage of wall space. Wall-mounted storage looks good while also creating a space to stash stuff in a small bedroom.

Although it’s not specifically a nightstand, we think the Umbra Bijou Floating Shelf Cubby is the best way to store your nighttime essentials without using any floor space. This clean, contemporary item is also inexpensive and easy to install.

Think about function first: When working with limited space, each item you bring in should serve a purpose.

If you have a little space to spare, benches with inner storage compartments can provide the room to stash your stuff and a place to sit. Such benches often work well at the end of your bed to store clothing, blankets, books and more.
