Small Space, Big Potential
A small bedroom doesn’t have to mean cramped quarters or constant clutter. With thoughtful design and smart storage strategies, even the tightest of spaces can feel spacious, functional, and serene.
At DIG, we specialize in finding hidden opportunities — and small bedrooms are full of them.
1. Maximize the Space Under the Bed
- Use rolling storage bins or under-bed drawers to stash off-season clothes, linens, or books.
- For a more integrated look, opt for a bed frame with built-in storage — a sleek solution that eliminates the need for a dresser.
2. Think Vertical
When floor space is limited, go up:
- Tall bookshelves or ladder shelves draw the eye upward and free up floor space.
- Install floating shelves above headboards or doorways for decor and light storage.
- Use wall-mounted sconces instead of bedside lamps to open up nightstand space.
3. Embrace Multi-Function Furniture
Invest in pieces that work double duty:
- A storage ottoman at the foot of the bed offers seating and a place to stash blankets.
- Murphy beds or fold-down desks can transform the room’s function without eating up space.
- Closet organizers with bins and hanging solutions can triple the efficiency of even the smallest wardrobes.
4. Design for Visual Calm
Clutter makes small rooms feel smaller. Use design to create calm:
- Stick to a limited color palette to visually expand the space.
- Choose closed storage when possible — baskets, bins, or lidded boxes create visual order.
- Use mirrors to bounce light and create the illusion of more space.
5. Think Like a Designer
At DIG, we treat storage as part of the overall aesthetic — not an afterthought. In small bedrooms, every inch should feel intentional, layered, and livable.
We focus on flow, balance, and beauty — even when the footprint is modest.
