Our houses are getting smaller just when we’re all spending more time in them, and living with housemates more than ever due to skyrocketing costs, which have been rising faster than incomes for more than two decades. As we’re increasingly pushed to use rooms in multiple ways, you really feel this space crunch in the bedrooms. Since an extra bedroom can translate to as much as 15% more in resale value, there’s motivation to list even the tiniest spaces (the minimum square footage for a bedroom is considered to be about 70 square feet, which is pretty small, but folks will call any old closet with a window a bedroom).
The first thing to consider is the size of your furniture. Unless you’re absolutely stuck with the stuff you already own, buying appropriately sized furniture for the space is the first step toward making it work as a space:
Other furniture: For other furniture, you can look for “apartment sized” or “small space” pieces that are designed to be used in cramped quarters. A small dresser that poses storage challenges but lets you walk around the room is better than a full-sized piece that forces you to crabwalk around your bedroom.
Optimize the layout
Bed placement. Generally speaking, larger beds (queens and kings) should be placed in the middle of the room with the headboard against a wall, granting access to both sides of the large mattress (unless you like the idea of climbing over someone every time you have to go to the bathroom), while fulls and twins should be tucked into corners in a small space. Choose bed placement based on the specifics of your room and lifestyle, however. If there’s only one occupant of the bed, that king can be shoved into a corner without penalty.
Leverage existing features. Consider what the room already offers. For example, if the window has a large sill, consider putting the bed sideways against the window and using the sill as an ersatz nightstand, eliminating the need for an extra piece of furniture. You can even expand the sill with a piece of shelving to deepen it and make it more useful. Or, if the tiny bedroom has a surprisingly large closet, you could consider turning it into a bed nook, pushing the bed into the closet and opening up the rest of the floor space—in fact, you can put dressers in the closet, too, or create a casual “cloffice” by pushing the desk in there.
Storage is a problem in a tiny space, even if it’s a legal bedroom with a closet. If you’re able to buy specific furniture for the space, choose stuff that has built-in storage to conserve floor space and keep pathways open:
Murphy Bed. You can also consider storing the bed itself, by installing a Murphy Bed (or alternative) that keeps the floor free unless you’re actively using it.
Utilize walls
Shelving
Floating nightstands
Hanging as much as you can on the wall allows you to have all the functionality without crowding the space or making it impossible to navigate.
Remove doors
If the bedroom has a closet or an en-suite bathroom, consider removing the doors or replacing them with pocket doors or barn doors. Traditional and bifold doors require floor space to swing through, which limits your furniture layout options and creates dead space you can’t use for any other purpose. Removing or replacing them can reclaim a few square feet of space for furniture, storage, or to create a usable pathway.
