Small Bedrooms Can Be Stunning When Styled Smartly
If your bedroom is on the smaller side, don’t panic. You can still turn it into a stylish, cleverly organised sanctuary that feels spacious and modern. Here at Funkybedz we see small spaces as a challenge worth conquering with confidence and Yorkshire flair. A clutter free room is a calm room and nothing ruins the vibe faster than piles of clothes and furniture that does absolutely nothing for your storage situation.
Start With A Bed That Works As Hard As You Do
Your bed is the biggest piece of furniture in the room, so make it count. A storage bed instantly gives you hidden space without sacrificing style. Our bestselling ottoman beds lift up smoothly to reveal a generous storage cavity for bedding, shoes or last season’s outfits you’re not ready to part with.
If you prefer a side opening mechanism for tight spaces, explore our side lift storage beds. They work beautifully when your room layout only allows access from one side. For rooms where floor space is king, even our bed frames can help create a clean, elevated look that instantly opens the room visually.
Choose Colours That Calm The Chaos
Small bedrooms benefit from calmer colour palettes. Soft neutrals, warm greys and muted pastels bounce light around the room and avoid the cluttered feeling darker colours can create. Pair calming colours with minimal accessories and let your statement bed do most of the talking. Funkybedz has a full fabric collection with beautiful textures that add depth without overwhelming the space.
Storage Solutions That Keep Everything Under Control
Think vertically. Wall shelves, tall units and cleverly placed hooks free up floor space and keep daily essentials within reach. A matching ottoman storage box at the foot of your bed is a stylish way to store spare bedding or out of season clothes. You can even pair it with one of our end of bed benches if you want seating that doubles as decor.
Mirrors Are Magic In Small Rooms
You’ve heard this before but mirrors genuinely make a difference. A floor length mirror against a wall gives the illusion of depth while reflecting light around the space. If you don’t want a full mirror, mirrored bedside tables or wardrobe panels work too.
Keep Your Layout Simple And Practical
Less furniture means more breathing room. Place your bed centrally if possible to prevent awkward gaps and to allow equal access. Keep pathways clear and avoid overstuffing the room with storage you don’t actually need.
Add Texture To Make The Room Feel Rich But Not Busy
Texture adds warmth and dimension without creating visual chaos. A soft rug, a cosy throw or a pair of tactile cushions can elevate your space instantly. Play with fabrics like velvet, boucle or linen for that signature Funkybedz tactile aesthetic.
Don’t Forget Your Sleep Quality
A small bedroom still deserves a great night's sleep. Pair your stylish room with a mattress that supports your lifestyle. Our mattress collection has everything from memory foam mattresses to pocket sprung mattresses that help you sleep soundly no matter how compact your room is. A good sleep setup is the ultimate form of luxury styling.
