Optimize area thanks to smart bed arrangement
For rooms under 10m2, placing a bed in the middle of the room in a traditional style often makes the space cramped. An effective solution is to place the bed close to the wall or diagonally in the corner. This method not only clears the travel space but also creates an L-shaped space to arrange a desk, wardrobe or built-in storage cabinet.
Some families also take advantage of height, combining headboards with built-in cabinets or folding desk for use during the day and rearranging them at night. This design helps the small room ensure sufficient functions for resting, working and storage while still being neat and airy.
According to Dr. Sarah Susanka, an architect at Not So Big House, "The arrangement of furniture in a small room can greatly affect the living experience. Just changing the location of the bed, you can increase the feeling of spaciousness without expanding the actual area.
Popular bed arrangements and pros and cons
Arranged in a U-shape, combined with bed, cabinet and study table, taking full advantage of the space in front of the window, creating a neat and airy feeling. Simple but effective L-shape, both frees up space and makes it easy to arrange more desks or chairs.
A tatami bed (a Japanese-style folding bed) with a folding table is also a smart choice for a small room, but the weather factor needs to be considered. "Tatmi beds are not suitable for humid environments because they are prone to mold and difficult to use for a long time," interior experts warn.
For rooms that are too small or too long and narrow, arranging a parallel single bed near the window is a solution for families with two children, still ensuring enough storage space and common living area. Conversely, the type of cabinet surrounding half of the bed, although saving space, can create a feeling of emptiness, not suitable for sensitive people.
In general, all options aim to optimize function, making the small bedroom spacious and comfortable, while increasing usability.
By simply changing the bed position, homeowners can both rest and work in a modest room while still feeling comfortable and airy - a useful solution for every small space.
