Here Are Tips From Our Interior Design Expert To Make A Small Bedroom Feel More Spacious

May 23, 2024

You might think you should opt for compact furniture to save square footage in a small bedroom, but Kate Cummings told us that it’s quite the opposite. Having lots of small-scale furniture can make the room look messy and create an uninviting atmosphere. Instead, Cummings explained, “You can use bigger pieces and the room will feel larger.”

Since the room can only fit a handful of big items, you want to stick with practical pieces. Maybe save the grandfather clock and wall-to-wall bookcase for another area. Apart from the bed, Cummings said, “Built-in headboards, night tables and window seats are also helpful for space saving and storage.”

How you arrange these large pieces can also make a difference in the room. will “use all room corners as part of the functional space,” according to Cummings. This arrangement leaves an area in the center for an accessible walkway where you can maneuver easily and takes away the cramped feeling of a small bedroom. It’s not just the furniture — the decor on the ceiling, walls, and floor can all contribute to how spacious your bedroom feels.
