Tiny bedroom
9 years ago
My daughter's bedroom is tiny: 2m square (6'5''). We have installed a raised bed with storage and desk underneath. But now that she has an adult size, she complains of banging her head all the time. Please could you advise what we could do? (The brown furniture on the left is a small wardrobe). Thank you for your help. Lau

9 years agoDo you have a floor plan? You could try putting in a standard bed and then having a dropleaf desk that can drop down when not in use. Ikea used to do one.
You could Install shelves and storage over the door

Comments (2)I have a similar dilemma in a new house that I will soon be moving to. I have decided to go all white with a massive print of brightly coloured birds, by Walassi Ting, framed with a white, broad gloss frame on one wall as a feature. This will still allow a small margin of white wall around it, which should create a feeling of space rather than covering the whole wall with one colour....See MoreClothes storage for tiny bedroom
Comments (25)Ikea have a headboard which you can fit behind your own bed and eliminate the bedside units gaining more space for nightstand use and quilt storage underneath. It will give you some more privacy from the window too. Eventually a roman blind would be more appropriate too. The remaining wall at the side of the window can be used for hanging shelving like the ikea kallax. Open the space visually by simply adding a larger mirror to a side wall and hang hats scarves and even coats on pegs along the opposite wall. Use the space above the entryway door for shelving or closed cupboards and fit in a corner wardrobe. If you can remove the door or get it to swing outward. If you consider changing the bed for an underbed storage one it must have a hydraulic mechanism otherwise it is a nightmare. But you can find some storage bags or boxes that slide under the existing bed - just measure properly and try to make the best of the space. Alternatively you could change the bed completely to a high up loft base with a ladder and have ample space beneath it. Check the ikea Stora and others too....See MoreRefurbing a Tiny One Bedroom Bungalow

Comments (7)Hi there! Looks like a cosy little space with some solid foundations! Here’s how you can maximise the functionality while adding warmth and charm to your tiny bedroom/office: Layout Tweaks Keep the Hemnes Trundle: Since it doesn’t fit under the window width-wise, leave it along the left wall but style it like a daybed with lots of plush cushions in warm, cottage-inspired fabrics. This will make it feel more inviting as both a seating area and a bed. Fold-Away Desk: Smart choice! Keep it on the right, but consider adding a floating shelf above it for extra storage and decor without taking up floor space. Cottagey Warmth & Color Add Layers of Texture: Think knitted throws, linen cushions, and maybe a small jute rug to bring in a variety of cozy textures. Warm Color Accents: Since your blinds are pink/white/terracotta, build on that with muted tones like soft creams, dusty rose, and warm earthy shades. Consider adding warm-toned wall art or a framed vintage botanical print. Lighting: Swap out any harsh lighting for a warm-toned table lamp or fairy lights to create a softer, more inviting glow. Storage Ideas Add wicker baskets under the bed for hidden storage while keeping with the cottage vibe. If possible, attach a small peg rail with hooks for hanging items like bags, scarves, or a small plant in a macramé holder. By layering textures, soft lighting, and earthy colours, you can add warmth without making the space feel cramped. Hope this helps!...See More- 9 years ago
