The Small Room Challenge
Bedrooms under 3m × 3m can feel instantly cramped with the wrong bed choice. But smart furniture turns compact rooms into calm, clutter-free spaces.
Smart Bed Options for Small Rooms
| Bed Type | Why It Works Well |
|---|---|
| Divan Storage Beds | Hidden drawers to replace side furniture |
| Ottoman Lift Beds | Maximum under-bed storage, ideal for seasonal items |
| Low-Profile Frames | Visually open up the room |
| Sofa & Guest Beds | Day-to-night flexible living |
| Small Double Size | Wider than single; perfect for one adult |

Bedroom Layout Rules (Designer-Approved)
- Leave 60 cm walkway around the main side where possible
- Position bed opposite the door for best visual impact
- Use wall-mounted bedside lights (no table needed)
- Choose a tall, slim wardrobe vs a wide one
- Pick lighter colours and minimal styling for openness
Measure Before You Buy
- Check swing radius of doors & windows
- Note radiator positions
- Ensure drawers/ottoman lids fully open
