Small bedrooms aren’t a curse, they’re a puzzle
Small bedrooms can feel like an impossible jigsaw.
Every inch counts. Every piece of furniture matters.
Stuffed corners? Not ideal.
Cluttered floors? Nightmare.
The key is clever storage that works without screaming “I’m practical”.
Start with the bed: the ultimate storage hero
It’s the biggest footprint in the room, so why waste it?
Ottoman storage beds hide bedding, shoes, seasonal clothes, even suitcases underneath.
Bonus: they look premium without overwhelming your space.
Drawer beds: a secret weapon
Drawer beds are a smaller-scale alternative if you don’t need the deep lift of an ottoman.
They slide storage neatly under the bed for easy access.
Check out our storage beds with drawers collection for ideas.
Side vs end lift: make your room work for you
Lift type matters more than people realise in tight spaces.
Side-lift beds work brilliantly where foot space is tight.
End-lift beds suit rooms where the bottom of the bed has more clearance.
Effortless access = storage that actually gets used.
Wall space is your friend
Vertical storage beats floor clutter every time.
Floating shelves, wall hooks, or slim cupboards keep stuff off the floor and make the room feel bigger.
End of bed benches: function meets style
That space at the foot of your bed? Don’t waste it.
An end of bed bench can store throws, cushions, or books, and doubles as a seat.
Low profile, high impact.
Multi-purpose furniture rules
Ottoman stools, beds with storage, benches that double as drawers — these pieces replace two or three single items.
Less furniture, more breathing room, instantly chic.
Declutter ruthlessly
Small bedrooms don’t hide clutter well.
Keep only what you need in sight.
Everything else goes under the bed, in drawers, or hidden in a storage bench.
The difference is immediate.
Use light and colour to create space
Light walls and soft fabrics make rooms feel bigger.
Keep furniture tones cohesive.
Dark contrasts can shrink visual space — save drama for statement pieces like a Funkybedz upholstered bed.
Mirrors are your secret ally
Large mirrors reflect light and visually double your room size.
Place them opposite a window or behind a light source for maximum effect.
Hidden storage accessories
Boxes, baskets, and under-bed organisers work wonders for smaller items.
Use labels and uniform storage to keep things tidy and stylish.
The mattress still matters
A great storage setup only works if you actually want to sleep there.
Pair your storage bed with a supportive Funkybedz mattress for maximum comfort.
Customisation is king
Every small room is unique.
You Design We Deliver ensures your storage bed fits your room perfectly, maximising space and style.
Yorkshire truth time
Small rooms aren’t excuses — they’re opportunities.
Smart storage, clever furniture, and thoughtful design turn cramped chaos into cosy sophistication.
