Most of us would love to live in a home where space or the size of rooms wasn’t an issue. Unfortunately for many people the lack of space is a reality and it’s difficult to know how to get the best use of the available space in a bedroom without it looking cramped and cluttered.

There are some things you can do to help maximise the space. A loft bed like the Single High Loft Bed is ideal where space is limited as there is plenty of room underneath to put a chair or small sofa, or furniture to use for storage. Some loft beds like the Hyder Cosmic Studio Bunk even come with handy desktop, shelving and futon already provided and are extremely contemporary and modern looking.

Often children are given the smallest bedroom in the house and the never out of style bunk bed is a practical and fun option in a child’s bedroom or a box room. Bunk beds are available in a variety of finishes including various woods and metals. They range from pretty basic to luxurious and the Julien Bowen Pandora Storage Bunk is a wonderful example of how the basic bunk design can be brought right up to date with beautiful craftsmanship and design. The Pandora storage bunk sleeps two -on top and bottom bunk- and also very ingeniously incorporates a built in storage unit under the bottom bunk, which is a real benefit when there’s a lack of space in a bedroom.

Choosing the right paint and using light colours can bring an airy feel to a small bedroom making it appear larger than it actually is. Buying pieces of furniture that are smaller than normal or that have space underneath can visually make the room look bigger. Placing a medium to large size wall mirror in the room can also make the room appear more spacious.

One of the biggest problems in small rooms is clutter and a great way to eliminate the problem is to buy a storage bed. These come in a wide variety of colours and materials. The Novak Ottoman is available in single bed size and comes in a selection of finishes including Faux Leather, Faux Suede and Chenille with a variety of colours in each finish to choose from. The great thing about an ottoman bed is the storage space it provides. Easily accessed by lifting the sprung slatted base an ottoman bed like the Novak can provide up to four times the storage a divan bed will give. This space can be used to put everything away out of sight leaving your bedroom clutter free.

If you buy the right type of bed a small bedroom needn’t be too much of an inconvenience. You just need to make sure you utilise the available space in the most productive manner possible.
