Small bedroom problems we have all been there
If your bedroom currently feels like a wrestling match between your bed, your wardrobe and that chair that holds all your clothes then welcome. You are among friends. Small bedrooms are a reality in many UK homes and especially in modern builds where space is treated like gold dust.
But here is the good news. A small bedroom does not mean small style, small comfort or small personality. It just means you need smarter furniture choices. And that is where storage beds stroll in confidently like they own the place.
At Funkybedz, we believe your bedroom should work hard while you sleep harder. Built in Yorkshire, dreamt in style and designed to make the most of every inch.
Why storage beds are the unsung heroes of small bedrooms
Let us be blunt. Your floor is not a landing strip for laundry. Storage beds exist to rescue you from clutter chaos while still delivering proper comfort and serious style.
A storage bed gives you hidden space without needing extra furniture. That means fewer bulky wardrobes, fewer drawers fighting for space and more room to breathe.
Whether you live in a city flat, a cosy terrace or a compact guest room, storage beds let you cheat the square footage without anyone noticing.
The magic of ottoman beds
If storage beds had a headliner, it would be the ottoman beds. These beauties lift from the base to reveal a full storage area underneath. We are talking suitcase swallowing, duvet hiding, Christmas decoration disappearing space.
Ottoman beds are ideal for small bedrooms because they use space that would otherwise be wasted. Nothing else gives you that much storage without increasing the footprint of your bed.
Plus, modern gas lift mechanisms make lifting easy. No gym membership required.
Gas lift beds for smooth operators
For those who like things slick and effortless, gas lift beds are a dream. They open smoothly and stay open while you sort through your belongings like a very organised adult.
They are perfect if you access storage regularly and want something that feels premium and practical all at once.
Drawer storage beds for easy access
If lifting is not your thing, drawer storage beds might be your match. Options like storage beds with drawers offer quick access without moving the mattress.
These work brilliantly in rooms where space around the bed allows drawer clearance. Socks, spare bedding and random cables finally have a proper home.
Choosing the right bed size for small spaces
Bigger is not always better. The key to a small bedroom is balance. You want enough bed to sleep comfortably but not so much that you need to shuffle sideways to reach the door.
Single and small double beds that punch above their weight
For kids rooms, guest rooms or box rooms, single beds or small double beds paired with storage are absolute winners.
You still get comfort, you still get storage and you keep valuable floor space free for movement, play or that yoga mat you swear you will use.
Double beds done right
If you are working with a double bed in a small room, storage becomes even more important. An ottoman or end lift design allows you to ditch extra furniture and keep the room feeling open.
Style still matters even when space is tight
Small does not mean boring. Your bed is the centrepiece of your bedroom, and Funkybedz beds are designed to look just as good as they function.
Upholstered finishes, clean lines and handcrafted details mean your bed feels intentional, not like a compromise.
Wingback and chesterfield styles without the bulk
Many people assume statement beds only work in big rooms. Rubbish. Styles like wingback bed frames or chesterfield bed frames can actually elevate a small bedroom when paired with clever storage.
The trick is choosing a design with a strong headboard and a clutter free base. Your eye goes up, the room feels taller and suddenly the space feels intentional.
Mattress matters more than ever in small bedrooms
When your bedroom is compact, sleep quality becomes even more important. Your bed is your retreat, your recharge zone and occasionally your Netflix headquarters.
Pairing your storage bed with the right mattress makes all the difference.
