Gorgeous but small bedrooms that are creative with space

So, reader Kaylee propositioned me with a request to round up some tips and tricks for making a small bedroom work. So, hopefully, I've found something that can inspire everyone in someway - even if you have a big bedroom!

To save precious space in this bedroom, the TV has been mounted on a pivoting arm, and a shelf has been mounted above the radiator for plants.

For this SUPER small bedroom, a shelf has been mounted by the bed since there was no space for a nightstand.


An unusually shaped bedroom is pulled together with a matching pair of nightstand, and the projector is mounted above the bed.

Love big color but afraid it will make your small room look smaller? Try it out by painting just one wall - ideally behind your bed (usually the focal point of a bedroom). I love this turquoise wall in this tiny bedroom.

The upholstered white bench actually serves as pretty storage as the top opens as a chest. A small night stand and lamp gives you storage but still fits in the space

Another creative use of a small space. A narrow but tall dresser is vertical storage and a TV stand, and dog beds go under the bench. No dogs? Get some rectangular baskets to slide under the bench or bed for storage.

This is a studio apartment but this bed is a perfect example of clever storage. I also like the clever arrangement of framed photos behind it.

Isn't the tiny chandelier adorable? And the wide windowsill is used as a surface.

Another bed with lots of storage items. I don't know if the dresser at the end of the bed is a footboard or an actual dresser - but it's a unique storage solution.

Instead of a traditional headboard - a tall and narrow console can act as a headboard visually but provide space for lamps, books, and other smallish items.
