With just a little design ingenuity, you can turn a bedroom into a space that holds more than just a bed and wardrobe! Check out how these homeowners make use of space saving interior design solutions to make small space living practical and comfortable.
1. A stylish alternative to built-in shelves is the incredibly versatile String shelving system, which has detachable components such as folding tables, work desks, and cabinets which you can use to customise your own compact storage and work space.

2. Fashion accessories such as hats, handbags, and shoes often come in odd shapes that make it hard to stow away. So instead of cramming them into the cabinet, why not find a more decorative way to showcase them? A wire mesh board works not only a space efficient way to store hats, but you can also use it as a mood board to dress up your space.

3. Embrace your bedroom’s bay window like this homeowner did by customising horizontal shelves and vertical cabinets upon it. This way, you can have additional storage without obstructing much of the windows.

4. Free up the precious wardrobe space in your bedroom by getting a bed frame that has drawers built into its base. This ensures that your extra sets of pillows and bed linens are neatly tucked away yet easily accessible.

5. It is crucial for a small bedroom to remain free of clutter in order for it to appear restful. And that includes visual clutter. Opt for clever designs that keep surfaces clean cut, such as these hooks which can be flushed neatly into the wall when not in use. What a simple yet ingenious mechanism!

6. Another interior design trick professionals use to keep small rooms visually clean cut is by using hide-and-seek elements to conceal certain features. In this case, a door panel was used to camouflage a vanity counter.

7. Check out how the space in this tiny bedroom doubled with the help of a loft bed! Beds often take up the most floor space in a bedroom, so the room a favour by lifting it off the ground and fully maximising limited floor area it has!

8. While built-in cabinets and shelves offer the best solution when it comes to maximising a space fully, it can be restrictive especially if you enjoy changing the layout of the space from time to time. But you can kill two birds with one stone by installing a portable wardrobe system!

9. If you don’t mind sacrificing a few inches of ceiling height, why not build a platform in your bedroom that effectively turns the entire floor into a cabinet?

10. Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of small storage nooks such as this pull out shelf concealed in a headboard! It may not be much, but it’s just the right size for holding bottles of lotions and fragrances, and removes the need for a bedside table.

11. A platform bed is a brilliant solution for incorporating storage into your sleeping area. And we suggest you imbue more fun and cosiness into it by creating a couple of steps made out of open and closed storage compartments that leads to the bed.
