As house prices and the costs of living incerase more people compromising on space and buying smaller more affordable houses with smaller bedrooms. Geographically there is less space to build bigger houses as the population rises too.

Having a smaller bedroom however need not be a disorganised nightmare. Making the most of your smaller space is essential. Free-standing and standard size furniture is certainly not the best solution to the problem, as it willl not utilise the entire horizontal and vertical space and accomodate for any awkward spaces or non-standard features of the room. Using all available space and having organised storage, will make the smallest of rooms seem much larger. Opting for bespoke fitted furniture is definitely the best solution.

It is worth considering the range of options available:

Bed frames – These are an excellent way of fully utilising the available floor space underneath the bed for storing bulky items. You may decide on a bed frame with cupboards, drawers, shelving or even a matress which lifts to offer the full space underneath.

Cabin Beds – These offer a great solution for children’s bedrooms in which storage space is not abundant or the room is smaller. Children usually love high-sleeper beds and you can choose a range of options underneath such as a desk, drawers, shelving or cupboards.

Bridge Units – These will give you storage space over the bed and is a great option for things you use less freequently, or bulkier items such as bedding and quilts.

Bespoke Fitted Furniture – A well designed plan will ensure your smaller bedroom has the maximum storage within the available space. It is an excellent option for awkward spaces or sloping ceilings. Rather than leaving pointless gaps, spaces could be used as storage or feature shelving.

A professional bedroom designer will have a plethora of ideas and work with you to make the best design for the smaller bedroom.
