How to transform this tiny bedroom?

6 years ago
My bedroom is pretty sad and not especially functional. Can you help transform it?
Problems I face:
- The wardrobes are huge, overbearing and ugly...but I need space for clothes - especially dresses and shoes
- Because I can’t imagine where else the wardrobes would go, there’s no bedside table space which can be annoying
- I’d like to introduce some art, but not sure where would be best - probably above bed
- I need a full length mirror somewhere
I’m open to changing pretty much everything in it, although I do like the super comfy bed...

How to style a tiny bed room that is so small like a office
Comments (3)Hello, If she is a teenager already I would suggest you to decorate the bedroom according to her age and don't make it look too childish. You could consider decorating it nicely, I actually collected some pictures to show you what I was thinking about. Despite the fact that is a small room, it's always nice to interact with the surrounding and engaging the eyes with some ornaments, wall art, colourful images, posters, etc. Wallpaper could look very pretty too, but something more sophisticated, with some stylish/elegant pattern. Why not add some mirror/s to make the space look bigger and brighter? Creating a feature wall is also a great idea, covered in a different colour or just in wallpaper. The chandelier could be the outstanding piece of the bedroom. Furniture: I pretty much like the style of this bed, perhaps you can find something similar to this. It's single size that could fit in and it has a different look of the others. Good luck with your project! StJames Design Interiors...See MoreHelp with a TINY loft bedroom
Comments (4)Hi. You would need to be very supple for this (!) but you could bring the bed forward and add a clothes rail behind. Use a curtain to disguise most of the storage. Layer the bed with cushions and throws so it becomes the focal point. Agree with headers re storage bed, look for one that front opens or has front drawers and store items in there that you don't need frequently. I'd use the cupboard for bags and shoes so as to try and keep the rest of the room as clutter free as possible. Can you paint the room? A cooler colour may make it feel very marginally bigger as the cream/beige looks a little warm. I'd keep the chest of drawers in the same as the ŵall colour so they blend in and add colour for cushions etc. Mirrors will make a room feel bigger but im not sure where they would fix. Perhaps go for a wider cabinet to the left of the door and add a free standing mirror on top? Or alternatively look at mirrored caninet/s...See MoreA Tiny Childs bedroom and a growing child, with no storage. Help!
Comments (15)Hi - I agree with some of the others that you should add a wardrobe (preferably fitted) where the white unit currently is. Ideally you want somewhere for clothes but drawers underneath and probably some overhead storage as well I'd say. You say your son is a real book worm and I noticed a lot of books at the end of his bed - could you put shelves up there where the clock and cool sign is? Either regular shelves or ikea picture ledges look nice with books - that's what we used as per attached photo. Also could you get something like a long ikea Kallax (4x1) to fit under the bed? It might be too high but you can get ones from Argos that are smaller I think and with the baskets that fit in each hole they would be perfect for Lego? I think it's a really lovely room and with a bit of sorting could look great and work well for your son...See MoreHelp redecorating our tiny bedroom
Comments (21)Are you sure you want to go industrial? The room looks like a cute little period bedroom not a converted warehouse (yes, I do know the industrial style is very fashionable at the moment). Personally, I like the idea of having a whole wall of curtains. Alternatively, is there a wallpaper with the same pattern that you could use on the wall? As you seem to like mid-century, vintage pieces too, I think I'd stick to that theme as it's more likely to really complement the room....See MoreMulchie

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoIt seems this alcoves are the best spots for the wardrobes. I would move bed to the left wall , to the corner, headboard to the window and use wall between wardrobes for mirror and shelving.

6 years agoI also had a play at some layout options. What MATH suggested is exactly what I was thinking and what we have in our own bedroom which is very similar. So on the plans I’ve used a standard uk double size for the bed 135x195cm. Wardrobes are roughly 60cm in depth. The bed facing the window doesn’t work imo because there’ll be no room to walk round the other side. Personally I like the wardrobes fitted on the back wall which gives you room for a chest of drawers in the larger alcove and a large floor standing mirror or art work could go on the chimney breast wall. These are all rough estimates of the size of the room so definitely measure first if you plan to buy any new furniture.

6 years agoI like all of the above, I think you can fit in a chest of drawers under the window..........obs would need exact measurements of where the window sits on that wall, but may be possible.

6 years agoDepends on budget. I would suggest painting your wardrobes & bed (prime them first) in a neutral and bright taupe colour. Add full length mirrors to the wardrobe doors to reflect light as mentioned earlier.
Remove the curtains and replace with a Roman blind hung outside the window, ideally made in a stripe. This will give the illusion of height & open up the room.
You could add a fold away computer shelf not exactly the one on the image but you could adapt the inside to hang jewellery and store make up.
Keep your walls neutrals day add your personality with art and accessories.
Good luck
