Bedroom Furniture for a Cramped Space

A smaller than average bedroom calls for special bedroom furniture. Unfortunately, not every home comes with a sprawling and massive bedroom. Such smaller rooms require some creative planning and purchasing in order to maximize available space with the best and most useful furniture. The small-roomed shopper will ultimately have to be more selective with the bedroom furniture they desire, as lack of space will make it impossible to purchase a large and complete set. Luckily, there are certain items that are more helpful and space-saving than others, so you can essentially have all the benefits of a full set without buying every single piece.

The most important thing about bedroom furniture is its functionality. This becomes paramount with limited space, so look at items that have either multiple uses or one very important use. A dresser or chest of drawers is always a good starting place, as you can fold and tuck away a pile of clothing. You will also be able to use the top of the dresser or chest for storage of loose items such as an alarm clock or watch. An armoire is another great alternative. As far as bedroom furniture goes, there are few items more helpful than an armoire. Clothing, shoes, accessories, and even a television can all be placed within this self-enclosed piece.

You can’t consider bedroom furniture without the bed itself, so look to beds that provide several functions. A platform bed, for example, is far enough off of the ground that you can store things under it. Some beds feature frames that fan out slightly providing something of a nightstand. Sleigh beds and metal frame beds are also fairly moderate in terms of the amount of space they use. A smaller bed frees up valuable space for other kinds of bedroom furniture.
