Space-saving beds: How to furnish a small bedroom
When it comes to bedroom furnishings, we want to be guided entirely by our own ideas and express our personality. After all, it is our most important refuge to relax and recharge our batteries. But what if your creative ideas are limited by the size of the room? The solution is to focus on space-saving beds that do not visually overwhelm your bedroom and still allow you to relax wonderfully. Whether you are looking for beds with a minimalist, compact design or narrow beds with an extravagant look, here we present the most beautiful beds which allow you to create a small oasis of well-being even with little available space.
Which furnishing tricks are useful for small bedrooms
Making the most of the available space: That is the motto for compact bedrooms. Here are the main interior design tricks for limited space in the bedroom at a glance:
- Choose a compact bed design with a narrow headboard.
- Light colors visually enlarge the room
- Utilize wall space with the help of shelves and sconces
- Mirrors create depth
Consider the available space already when choosing a bed. Space-saving beds are available in widths starting at 80 cm, but even beds up to 140 cm wide can find a well-deserved place in small bedrooms with the right furnishing tricks.
To make compact beds look their best, you should opt for a narrow headboard that does not protrude over the bed frame and take up extra space. When choosing colours, you should also opt for light shades, as these make the room look more spacious than dark colours. At the same time, soft colours in light shades provide more calmness and are therefore perfect for small bedrooms.
As far as the rest of the bedroom furnishings are concerned, you can visually enlarge a small room with the help of the right colour and lighting, so that you can transform even particularly sparsely sized bedrooms into a harmonious relaxation area. Remember to make the most of the wall as well. Shelves are handy as they provide extra space for books, photos or other personal items. You can also mount the bedside lamps on the wall if there is not enough space for bedside tables. Extra piece of advice: A large wall mirror in your bedroom adds visual depth and rounds off your bedroom design.
Space-saving beds in the box-spring design – Swissflex Box
Box-spring beds are often associated with grande bedrooms. But even if your flat is less spacious, you can still treat yourself to a little luxury in your bedroom with space-saving beds in the box-spring design. Instead of a playful design and a headboard that extends far beyond the lying surface, you should go for a simple and compact look. This creates more depth in the room, and with the right bed design you can visually add a few square metres. Our Swissflex Box, for example, comes in a modern form with a straightforward design. Available in widths from 80 cm, it blends in harmoniously with the overall picture even in the smallest bedrooms. You can also choose from a variety of beautifully designed headboards and, depending on your taste, opt for a discreet, low headboard so that you can use the wall above the bed for decorations or pictures - because the personal touch is important even in a small room. You can add feet that create a floating look to the Swissflex Box for even more lightness, so that, even in a small bedroom, you can feel like you are on clouds.
Space-saving beds with a soft look – Swissbed Silhouette
Is a soft look with individual design options important to you when it comes to space-saving beds? Then you should opt for a fabric-covered bed frame that brings calmness to your bedroom. Our Swissbed Silhouette, for example, is pleasantly discreet and the headboard with rounded edges additionally supports the gentle impression. Opt for a flush headboard that is only as wide as the bed frame to make the most of the space in your small bedroom. To make your room look even bigger, choose fabrics in light tones such as sand or beige. Dark colors can quickly make a room with limited dimensions look cramped. Swissbed Silhouette in a width of 120 cm is perfectly suited as a generous single bed. That way, you can enjoy comfortable nights without overwhelming your small bedroom with a bulky bed.
Space-saving beds with an expressive design – Swissbed Expression
Space-saving beds do not have to be boring. Even if you have to work with little space, you can freely convey your personality with the right model. If you are the type of person who likes an expressive design, take a look at our Swissbed Expression. The unique look of the bed frame ensures a special presence in your bedroom, so that your bed becomes the eye-catcher of the room despite its compact design. With decorative seams you can set further visual accents and make your bed even more individual. You can also choose your personal favourite fabric from 30 different colours.
