Set up a small bedroom – 20+ ideas for optimal room planning

When you need to decorate a small bedroom, you may face some challenges. You need to find space for the bed, your clothes and other personal items while avoiding the feeling of a crowded room. Here are some tips and basic rules for arranging furniture in a small bedroom.

Set up a small bedroom - well organized wardrobe

Start by choosing the right size furniture for the room. The bed should be as small as possible, exactly for the people who will use it. This means that a single person should not have a bed larger than a single bed, and a married couple – a queen-size bed. The queen size bed is a bit narrower than the king size bed.
