15 Small Bedroom Interior Designs To Make It Functional & Spacious

Home is where the heart is, and it's where love and comfort bloom. So, before jumping into how to make your small bedroom feel spacious, let’s focus on creating a warm, cosy vibe first.

Choose The Right Colours: Colours can REALLY impact your mind, and every colour evokes a different feeling in you, so make sure you opt for hues that not only calm your mind but also make your room look cosy.

Invest in the Comfiest Materials: There’s nothing like wrapping yourself in a soft bedspread or sinking your feet into a plush rug. So, investing in feel-good, durable materials should be non-negotiable.  

Let It Smell Nice: Scent has a huge impact on the mood, vibes, and overall feel of a bedroom. Keep the air mildly fragranced with your favourite scented candles, essential oils, or room fresheners

Make Every Corner Count: We usually look at the bigger picture and forget about the random corners, but they can actually do a lot for us. I urge you to revisit those nooks and decorate them with maybe indoor plants, a lamp, or even a stack of books.

Pick Comforting Patterns: Patterns are personal, and what calms one person may overwhelm another. While I won’t suggest a specific pattern, adding a pop of your favourite print, through pillows, throws, or even a headboard cover, can make your space feel uniquely yours.

In a cramped space, removable, hovering bedside tables are your best friend. You could pop them on at night to place your half-read book and glass of water and remove them in the morning to make room for the hectic routine of getting ready for the day. We love 'Fern' , a solid bedside table by Durian.

Do you live in a matchbox-sized apartment in Delhi? Or do the tiny rooms of Mumbai bug you? Then make some room by piling your books on floating shelves rather than keeping getting a bookshelf that you might stun your toe on (we know you know). The wall shelves by Brick Brown are a sturdy option. The basic colour enables it to fit in well with a variety of colours or aesthetics that you might have already incorporated in your room. 

Sconces don't take up any surface space since they are mounted on the wall, which makes them the perfect reading light without actually needing the space. Just attach sconces near your headboard and you're golden (literally). Other than the compactness, they also give your room a vintage look, and you the look of a seasoned curator of cool things.

The Kendra Trundle Bed by Wooden Street says “where there's a will there’s a way”. Make a small bedroom a room for two with this pull out option from Wooden Street. It is available in two colors- Honey and Walnut, to accommodate whatever vibe you're going for. This trundle can be tucked away whenever not in use.

Make your room a place for company by bringing in folding chairs like this one from Chumbak. Go for folding furniture in case there's simply no room for accent furniture, that you can put away under the bed or behind the closet when not in use. Foldable pieces can brighten up your space without cramping it up.

Lucite is the best example of simple yet transformative decor, and it also gives your room a hint of modernity. For a neat and clean finish with all the storage capacity, lucite can be your best friend. The sleek, clear features are sure to draw attention. Lucite Acrylic gives life to the phrase “less is more”. The best examples of acrylic furniture you can incorporate in your small bedroom are acrylic bedside tables, study tables and statement chairs. 

Drench your walls in white since the color will make your bedroom catch and reflect more light, giving it the illusion of an open and breezy space. Not to mention, the white makes it easy to switch up the colours in your room whenever your mood changes colour. To make your small bedroom feel expansive and cool in the summers white is the perfect colour for your walls.

LBB tip: You can use striped wallpaper as well to give the illusion of height.

Why invest extra space on sconces and side tables when they can be attached to the headboard? The headboard with integrated sconces and side tables might be our favourite small bedroom hack. It gives the room an extremely chic look while additionally freeing up space.

LBB tip: The best way to get the headboard exactly how you want it is to visit a local market near you to get it custom-made. However, if you'd prefer to get it customised from the comfort of your home you can get it done at Wooden Street. 

Fake it till you make it! This mirror makes your room appear bigger than it actually is, as they reflect more light. Several mirrors in your small space can also remind you to take a moment out of your day to indulge in self-appreciation.

LBB tip: You can also lean a mirror in your room to make the space look expansive.

Do you have alcoves in your walls? You can utilise them by building in shelves. Since there's no space for protruding furniture in your life, focus on getting custom wall built-ins. Built-in bookshelves are the nest for storage you won't bump your head on. Moreover, built-in wardrobes save up the much-needed walking room.

If you have a teeny-tiny bedroom it's time to get scrappy! Check out this bed with built-in drawers by Ikea to organise your life better without cluttering your space. It is a bold, yet sophisticated set that will change your life. Find what you need without having to dig through piles of other stuff you regret buying.

Investing in multifunctional furniture is a game-changer especially when it comes to small bedroom interior designs. There are plenty of options out there but one standout is from Ellementry. It’s an upholstered cushion bench that not only looks chic but also comes with a spacious drawer and a spot to stash your books or display a statement piece. It's practical and pretty, what’s not to love?

Adding a large-scale mural to your bedroom is a smart way to add vibrancy without making the space look small. While cityscape prints have had their moment, botanical or floral patterns are now the go-to for creating the illusion of a more open, chic room!

Going for low beds is one of the most effective small bedroom interior design ideas, especially if storage isn’t a priority. They create a sleek, minimalist vibe, and since they typically lack bulky storage compartments, cleaning around them is a breeze. Plus, the lower height offers easy access, making them a practical choice for homes with kids or elderly family members.

If full-on minimalism isn’t your style, adding a pop of pattern can make all the difference. It grabs attention and creates vertical interest, giving the illusion of more space. This checkered headboard cover from HOMETHREADS, for example, adds an instant retro vibe and becomes the focal point of your bedroom, bringing in that fun checkered-core aesthetic which also reminds us of the on-going cottage-core trend.
