12 Beautiful Small Bedrooms You Can Actually Recreate
Size is no barrier to a dreamy bedroom retreat.
We'd argue that few rooms are as important as your bedroom. It's the space to rest, recharge, and unwind after a long day. But if yours is on the small side, it might feel as though you can't make it beautiful and anything but a literal room for a bed.
The good news is, even the most modest of bedrooms can be transformed into a sleep haven that exudes style and functionality. And we're here to prove it.
Below, we've rounded up 12 small bedrooms that are cosy and chic and will inspire you to make the most of your square footage.
1. Rustic beauty
This rustic space created by Textile Artist Rhiannon Griego is exactly where we'd want to cuddle up in winter. While it might be small, it has plenty of character thanks to the timber ceiling that matches the bedside tables and Rhiannon's spectacularly woven creations on the wall.
2. Timeless elegance
This elegant bedroom within Courtney Adamo's holiday home radiates elegance. The Rattan Bedhead takes advantage of vertical space and is an easy way to add interest to a bedroom – it's the perfect piece for bedrooms that can't fit a bedframe. The bedside wall lights are a smart space-saving hack, particularly if you don't have room for bedside tables.
3. At one with nature
Who says small bedrooms feel claustrophobic? This dreamy space blurs the line between indoors and out thanks to a glass ceiling and glass doors which make it look bigger than it actually is.
4. Golden hour
This wonderfully bright room evokes images of Palm Springs with its cactus and mix of white and warm tones. The Turmeric and Terracotta linen add a wonderful pop of colour to the space without feeling overwhelming.
5. Class act
The decoration of this simple room goes to show how a few elevated pieces can transform a space from average to beautiful. The use of crystal wall sconces, scalloped European pillowcases, and a delicate Sage & Rosetwaer palette make this room elegant.
6. Monochrome sanctuary
Makeup artist Nam Vo has used the loft space in her apartment as her bedroom. Opting for a neutral palette of Oatmeal and white has kept this area looking clean and calm. Neutral shades can make the wall visually recede into the background which is the perfect trick in a small space.
7. Zen heaven
A dialled-down, natural palette of Oatmeal and Sage keeps artist Bobby Clark's petit bedroom looking calm and sophisticated. Adding a large artwork into a small space might feel wrong, but it can be a creative and impactful way to enhance the space as showcased here with one of Bobby's original paintings.
8. Rustic hideaway
This beautiful timber-clad bedroom calls for winter afternoons snuggled in bed with a good book. The timber feeds warmth into the space while the verdant Pistachio and Sage linen adds a fresh touch. The skylight which illuminates the bed is the highlight here and the angled roof makes for an interesting architectural statement.
9. Cottagecore whimsy
If cottagecore is your vibe, you're going to love our sweet Pistachio & Lavender combo. Pink and green are a classic pairing but they also add a playful look to a bedroom. These tones work perfectly with the stained glass windows which introduce a touch of whimsy to the space. Stick to dark timber furniture to play into the cosy and cocooning cottage vibes, and window film for the stained-glass window effect.
11. Cosy and chic
Interior designer Sarah Shinners painted the walls of her bedroom in a warm gold hue which makes the space feel cosy and cocooning. This is beautifully offset by Lilac linen which injects further colour into the space and a fresh touch. She took advantage of vertical space (a great move in smaller spaces) by adding a hanging planter to bring life to the bedroom.
12. All-white everything
A pair of stained glass doors open up this divine bedroom nook in Justine Cullen's home that was converted from a sunroom. Plenty of natural light and white linen help brighten the space and ensure it doesn't feel claustrophobic. A white beaded pendant light adds charm to the space while still keeping with the all-white theme.
