Big ideas to maximize small bedrooms
You don’t have to call in a designer to transform your small bedroom into a space that is seemingly two times larger. With these tips and changes, you can open your eyes every morning to an unbelievably open and relaxing environment!
Prioritize furniture quality and size
Don’t shrink your idea of quality bedroom furniture. It is natural to want to find smaller pieces for a smaller space; however, just a few large bedroom furniture pieces will give you a luxurious look you’re after.
Don’t confuse large and clunky bedroom furniture. Your bedroom should be a light place you can unwind and not feel as if everything is heavy. What to look for:
- Pieces that are lighter in color.
- Avoid furniture that touches the ground. Pieces with tall legs or those that have been slightly lifted feel much less clunky.
- Avoid fluffy skirts and big arms on your furniture.
Be open to choosing bedside or chairside tables over nightstands. Tables make a room seem less crowded because their focal point is much higher. If you prefer the more functional nightstand, be sure to avoid the heavy and clunky look.

Be creative with your all of your bedroom furniture–let it double as storage. Our favorite trick for this is to choose a bed frame that has built-in storage drawers. These are both functional and stylish.
Ace your arrangement
Prioritize pathways by arranging your bedroom furniture to create clear walkways.
Make your space feel bigger by varying the heights of your bedroom furniture and décor. Play with taller pieces by adding a full-length mirror and chest of drawers.

Don’t ignore your walls
This tip is not new, but the transformation is amazing every time. Pick a light paint color. It’s easy to do is, and it will make your bedroom feel more spacious.
Mirrors are your best friend when it comes to creating more space. Hang them or lean them against a wall opposite a window or another area (like a bathroom or closet). If your bedroom does not allow for either of these, maximize space by arranging mirrors on opposite walls. The bedroom will reflect more light and create a brighter space while tricking your eye into thinking the walls are much farther apart.
Clear the wall clutter. A handful of quality pieces will help you achieve that designer magazine look.
Bottom line
Leave some space on your walls, and don’t try to fill the room with bedroom furniture. Pick your staples and remember, blank space makes a room feel less cluttered and achieves a more open feel.
