In homes, the average size of a bedroom is 10 m2: the parents' bedroom is often the largest with 12 m2 of surface area and the children's bedroom is 9 m2. This data can be reversed if the children share their room with their brother or sister. It is common to have a room in a home that is smaller than the others with a size of less than 9 m2. It is therefore important to choose suitable furniture to save space in a small bedroom.
A bed designed to optimize bedroom space
A basic bed can waste a lot of space in a bedroom. The mezzanine bed is a strong trend in decoration. The raised bed allows for floor space. It is possible to arrange the space under the bed with a desk or a sofa . This type of furniture is the star for saving space in a teenager's bedroom .
It often follows the evolving bed, which can be enlarged according to the growth of the child. This denier can have two or three sizes depending on the model. It can have an initial size of 90x140, then increase to 90x170 and end up at a size of 90x200. The size is adjusted by sliding the bed. The box spring and mattress are adaptable.
More and more parents are turning to beds with drawers. There are 2 main models:
The trundle bed, which hides an extra bed in a drawer, so you can invite a friend or cousin to sleep, without having to use the inflatable mattress. The bed with storage, for placing bulky household linen such as a duvet, blankets, a pillow or even toys.
Furniture to choose for a small bedroom
For a small bedroom, choose a high chest of drawers with a large number of drawers like a chiffonier or weekly drawer. The trend is towards painted wood or metal furniture in a college locker room style. Haberdashery furniture tends to be low and take up floor space, which is not ideal for a small bedroom.
To benefit from a wardrobe in the bedroom, the wardrobe is essential. In column form, it can be narrow, with a width of less than 50 cm. The trend is towards an American locker room shape, in colored metal or brushed stainless steel. More traditional, it is also possible to opt for a model with a bonnetière type door, in pine or oak. The wardrobe can also have several shelves: 6 levels are perfect for storing folded clothes flat.
It's not just children who can have a small bedroom. Adults must arrange their bedroom in a space and can afford a dressing room. The corner dressing room is ideal for saving space and creating unused space. Depending on the configuration of the room, it is possible to opt for a sloping dressing room, especially in an attic room, with a low sloping roof.
