Small bedroom design does not mean there is not a lot of room to get creative. Whether you are creating a small children’s bedroom, transforming an attic, or creating a small apartment bedroom, you can create an interesting space. All it takes is some creativity and being purposeful in how each aspect of your small bedroom is designed.

The biggest key in making a small bedroom stand out is to be conscious of each decision and how it fits into the overall space. This is especially true when trying to fit extra storage into your small bedroom design.

Read on for some small bedroom ideas to help you pack a big punch into a small space.

1. Small Bedroom Ideas for Boys

Designing a boy’s bedroom in a small space is tricky, but not impossible. A lot of the same tips that we talked about with a girl’s small bedroom will also apply. Multi-purpose furniture, such as a bunk bed, will be key.

You can have a lot of fun with wall art or decals to create an interesting look for your boy’s small bedroom without taking up a lot of space. For an older boy, you will want a desk for homework. A floating desk or a thin table against the wall will do the trick.

Sometimes seating is an issue in small bedrooms. For a boy’s room, a hanging hammock chair is a great way to add interesting seating without taking up a lot of space.

Finally, make sure storage is accessible and easy to use – children are notorious for messy bedrooms and that will show much quicker in a small bedroom.

2. Contemporary Small Bedroom Ideas

The definition of contemporary design means what is stylish now, so by definition, contemporary style is constantly evolving. Currently, modern and contemporary designs share a lot of the same attributes – clean lines and neutral colour schemes.
