10 Beautiful Small Bedrooms You Can Actually Recreate
Because who has room for a walk-in robe in this economy?
We've all seen them; those spacious primary bedrooms with designated seating areas, ensuites, and walk-in wardrobes. Those suites that look as though they take up the same amount of real estate as a small city apartment. It must be nice. For most of us, this unfortunately isn't the reality.
The cost of living is expensive, and for some of us having a small bedroom is just the way it is. Whether that means having a bed take up the whole room or opting for a double bed when what you really want is a Queen, sometimes you just can't have it all. Or maybe, having a smaller space that feels extra cosy and requires less cleaning is your preference!
The good news is, even the most modest of spaces can be transformed into a sleep haven that exudes style and functionality. And we're here to prove it.
Below, we've rounded up 10 small bedrooms that are cosy and chic and will inspire you to make the most of your square footage.
1. All-white everything
A pair of stained glass doors open up this divine bedroom nook in Justine Cullen's home that was converted from a sunroom. Plenty of natural light and white linen help brighten the space and ensure it doesn't feel claustrophobic. A white beaded pendant light adds charm to the space while still keeping with the all-white theme.
2. Cosy and chic
Interior designer Sarah Shinners painted the walls of her bedroom in a warm gold hue which makes the space feel cosy and cocooning. This is beautifully offset by Lilac linen which injects further colour into the space and a fresh touch. She took advantage of vertical space (a great move in smaller spaces) by adding a hanging planter to bring life to the bedroom.
3. Sustainably minded
Another ultra-cosy space, florist Gina Lasker's bedroom features toasty Turmeric linen that's been perfectly paired with the photographic artwork. Plywood walls are a great option as they are budget-friendly, more environmentally sustainable than other alternatives, and feed warmth into a space.
4. Zen heaven
A dialled-down, natural palette of Oatmeal and Sage keeps artist Bobby Clark's petit bedroom looking calm and sophisticated. Adding a large artwork into a small space might feel wrong, but it can be a creative and impactful way to enhance the space as showcased here with one of Bobby's original paintings.
5. Timeless elegance
This elegant bedroom within Courtney Adamo's holiday home radiates elegance. The Rattan Bedhead takes advantage of vertical space and is an easy way to add interest to a bedroom – it's the perfect piece for bedrooms that can't fit a bedframe. The bedside wall lights are a smart space-saving hack, particularly if you don't have room for bedside tables.
6. Rustic beauty
This rustic space created by Textile Artist Rhiannon Griego is exactly where we'd want to cuddle up in winter. While it might be small, it has plenty of character thanks to the timber ceiling that matches the bedside tables and Rhiannon's spectacularly woven creations on the wall.
7. Sunny situation
Creative Ali Whittle's joyful space is sunny and bright thanks to the high ceilings, Limoncello linen, and a charming balcony that floods it with natural light. The storage space above the bed is a genius spot to keep books or art d'objet.
8. Monochrome sanctuary
Makeup artist Nam Vo has used the loft space in her apartment as her bedroom. Opting for a neutral palette of Oatmeal and white has kept this area looking clean and calm. Neutral shades can make the wall visually recede into the background which is the perfect trick in a small space.
9. Warm hideaway
This beautiful timber-clad bedroom calls for winter afternoons snuggled in bed with a good book. The timber feeds warmth into the space while the verdant Pistachio and Sage linen adds a fresh touch. The skylight which illuminates the bed is the highlight here and the angled roof makes for an interesting architectural statement.
