A small bedroom with a closet and a desk

A small bedroom, just like any other, needs the right furniture. Even a small 8-square-meter bedroom can’t do without a comfortable bed and storage furniture. What’s the best furniture to use when furnishing a small bedroom with a window?

• The best bed for a small bedroom is one designed for a 140- or 160-cm-wide mattress. A larger bed will only make the space feel unnecessarily cramped. When choosing a bed, make sure it has storage space under the mattress for extra bedding, seasonal clothing, suitcases, or other items that don’t fit in the closet. This extra space is worth its weight in gold in any small bedroom! A good solution that will save a few centimeters is a headboard made of upholstered panels attached to the wall.
• A bedroom with a closet or a walk-in closet? In small bedrooms, we usually choose the former because it takes up less space. In a small bedroom, opt for a closet with sliding doors—that way, you won’t need to leave space in front of the closet to open the doors (as is the case with a closet with hinged doors). Make sure the closet has shelves and a rod for hangers inside—this makes storage much easier. In a very small 8-square-meter bedroom, a closet with drawers will work well, allowing you to do without a dresser.
• In a small bedroom, you can fit only one nightstand—or even do without them entirely. A shelf hung above the bed, at a height where you can easily reach it with your hand, can successfully take over the function of nightstands. Another great solution is a bed with a shelf built into the headboard, where you can store various items you like to keep close by, even at night.
• If you need to furnish a small bedroom with a desk, opt for a compact desk that takes up as little space as possible. A great option is the currently popular console tables with slender legs and small drawers under the top. They really don’t take up much space and provide a comfortable place to work.
• Among the various pieces of furniture for a small bedroom, the modern fold-down bed—a brilliant, foldable bed—stands out. The BED CONCEPT fold-down bed helps you save space and easily change the room’s function. Just imagine—at night you have a comfortable, wide bed, and during the day, space for daily activities—yoga, ironing, or playing with your child—even in a small 8-square-meter bedroom.
• If you’re placing a dresser in a small bedroom with a window, it must be a tall one. In small bedrooms, it’s best to make the most of the vertical space, so it’s worth investing in tall furniture and ceiling-high built-ins. This rule also applies to dressers, because a tall piece with five or even seven drawers will simply hold more.
• Another great solution for a small bedroom with a desk is the WORK CONCEPT fold-away desk. It’s a very convenient, multifunctional piece of furniture that’s easy to open and close, allowing you to enjoy it as a desk or as space for other activities, depending on your needs.

Good use of space and well-chosen bedroom furniture are the foundation of a successful interior design a small bedroom for a single person. Even though this is a bedroom for just one person, it generally contains the same furniture as a bedroom for two. It must include a comfortable bed, a nightstand, a closet, and a dresser. Of course, the furniture doesn’t have to be as large as in a small bedroom for two people. A bed designed for a 140-cm-wide mattress, a smaller closet, or a closet with drawers—which can replace a dresser—will work just fine. A small bedroom for a single person often also includes a desk for working or relaxing while playing games. Choosing the right furniture for a small bedroom with a desk depends on the size of the room and the intended use of the desk.

Small bedrooms for singles usually reflect the personalities of their occupants. When you walk into such a room, you can immediately tell whether it’s a woman’s bedroom or a man’s bedroom. This is evident not only in the choice of furniture for a small bedroom (its design and color scheme) but also in the selection of accessories. A cozy bedroom filled with soft fabrics, flowers, and photos in decorative frames is a woman’s bedroom. The decor of a man’s bedroom is more minimalist, and the accessories are meant to be functional above all else. That’s why you won’t find extra pillows, flowers in vases, or decoratively draped curtains in a man’s bedroom.

If you have a spare room at home and friends or your adult children often stay over, a small, separate guest bedroom would be an excellent idea. A separate, small bedroom with a window guarantees your guests comfort and a private space where they can relax when they’ve had enough of being together. What furniture should you include in a small guest bedroom with a closet? Definitely a bed and a wardrobe. If there’s room, a dresser and a desk—or a small table with chairs—would also be useful. The closet doesn’t have to be huge—after all, guests will only hang a small portion of their wardrobe in it. A half-canopy bed is also a great solution for a small guest bedroom, especially in a version with a sofa. This option will work well even in a very small 8 m² bedroom.

When planning a small bedroom with a guest closet, don’t forget about the accessories. Keep in mind, however, that they should be as versatile as possible. Simple, pattern-free curtains, green plants in pots with timeless colors, and pillows and bedspreads in muted tones—that’s a surefire hit.
