Enhancing The Box Room: Our Top 10 Clever Ideas for Small Bedrooms
We’re excited to explore the world of small bedroom design and give you our top 10 ideas for small bedrooms and box rooms. Whether you’re dealing with limited space or just looking for creative ways to maximise the space, we’ve got you covered. And as we go through the list, we’ll also show you one particular game-changer, which DAY & KNIGHT does best: built-in wardrobes.
1. Smart, Multi-Purpose Storage Solutions
Let’s talk about storage in small bedrooms! When you’re short on space, every inch counts. We suggest going for furniture pieces that do double-duty. For example, beds with drawers built-in or ottomans with sneaky compartments. These genius hacks will help you keep your space tidy and clutter-free.
Present Trends: The Power of Simplicity and Nature
In recent years, there has been a shift towards creating luxurious bedrooms that embrace simplicity, sustainability, and natural elements. The minimalist trend has taken center stage, with clean lines, neutral colour palettes, and clutter-free spaces becoming a hallmark of contemporary luxury. Homeowners are now seeking beautiful, serene environments and bespoke fitted bedrooms that fully promote calmness and relaxation.
2. Mirrors to Create Spatial Illusions
When it comes to small bedrooms, mirrors can be your best friends. Strategically placing mirrors in the room can instantly create the illusion of a larger area by reflecting light and visually mirroring the space. Plus, they can add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
3. Floating Shelves for Extra Display
Maximise floor space by going vertical! Floating shelves add storage and style, displaying books, plants, or cherished mementos while keeping your room organised.
4. Clever Bedside Solutions
In small bedrooms, every inch of space matters, including those precious bedside tables. Opt for wall-mounted bedside shelves, or small floating nightstands that can offer storage without taking up valuable floor space. It’s all about finding functional pieces that blend well with your style goals.
5. Maximising Natural Light
Small bedrooms can sometimes feel cramped and gloomy. Maximise natural light by using sheer curtains, opting for light-coloured window treatments, and keeping windows clean and unobstructed. A bright and airy space can make all the difference. Adding Velux windows in to a small loft or attic bedroom can make a huge difference to those types of spaces.
6. Statement Lighting Fixtures
While natural light is essential, don’t underestimate the power of well-placed lighting fixtures. Choose a statement piece that not only illuminates the room, but also adds a touch of personality and charm. You’ll be amazed at how it can transform your small bedroom into a cosy sanctuary.
7. Vertical Stripes for Height
Similar to clothing, there’s a visual trick with vertical stripes! Whether through wallpaper, paint, or curtains, incorporating vertical lines creates an illusion of height, making your ceilings seem higher and your room more spacious. Using horizontal lines has the opposite effect.
8. Foldable / Foldaway Furniture for Flexibility
For small bedrooms, invest in foldable furniture like wall-mounted desks and drop-leaf tables. These items can be easily tucked away when not in use, giving you more space to move around.
9. Creating Zones with Rugs
Rugs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also helpful in defining different zones within a small bedroom. Place a rug under your bed to anchor the sleeping area, and consider adding a small rug near a reading nook or dressing corner. These designated zones add structure and make your room feel more organised.
10. The Magic of Built-In Wardrobes
Lastly, let’s talk about the big game-changer for small bedrooms: custom built-in wardrobes. These bespoke storage solutions offer unparalleled benefits in maximising space. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, built-ins are custom-made to fit seamlessly into your room, utilising every inch of available space right up to the wall. They offer ample storage for your clothing, shoes, and accessories while maintaining a clutter-free and streamlined look. If you have a wasteful alcove, then custom built-in wardrobes really are the number one way to go.
Not only do built-in wardrobes offer a practical storage solution, but they also elevate the overall apearance and feel of your bedroom. With DAY & KNIGHT’s expertise and craftsmanship, we can create a beautiful and functional wardrobe that perfectly complements your bedroom’s style and layout.
