IKEA-Inspired Ideas for Small Bedrooms

IKEA is an inspiration when it comes to small spaces. When the space in a compact bedroom is properly utilized, it can provide immense comfort and satisfaction. Simply follow the easy guide below to effortlessly maximize on an otherwise confined bedroom.

Built-In Storage

When it comes to small bedrooms, the main goal is to try to remove as much storage and clutter as possible out of the room. If this option is not viable, consider a streamlined built-in storage to help keep the floor space cosy and ample. Built-in storage provides a smarter solution than free-standing shelves as it allows you to store items behind what was originally a blank and unused wall.

Sliding Door

There is no need to lose even a centimetre of floor space to accommodate to swinging doors when you install one that slides. A gliding door ensures that a path is unobstructed even when the door is open, while it comes with contemporary panels with concealed tracks for a sleek finish. To further free up wall space, consider installing a sliding door-cum-mirror to add a chic touch to your room.

Under-Bed Storage

It is crucial to eliminate clutters if you live in a small space. The introduction of a platform storage bed into a cramped bedroom is not only practical, but is highly functional as well. A platform bed is supported by base cabinets which dutifully prevent space wastage – dispelling the need for free-standing drawers and shelves. Having the entire storage stowed away beneath the bed is a real space-saving hack – concealing your clothes, handbags, and knickknacks in the blink of an eye.

“Dead” Space

Dead space is where you never thought had any purpose, such as the areas above and below furniture, between shelves, around nooks and neglected corners. However, they can provide extra storage space simply by using bracketed shelves, or they can be turned into an elaborate shelving system that has been customized to fit exactly into the desired gap. Installing shelves high up on the walls is also a smart way to store items you rarely need.

On-The-Wall Storage

Is your room too small to even fit in a closet? Fret not, because you can easily make use of a blank wall to create storage space. IKEA highly recommends open wardrobes which can easily be configured based on an individual’s storage needs, either by adding or removing rails, shelves and drawers as when you feel it is necessary.
