Need help for small bedroom!

2 years ago

My bedroom is 10 x 12 and we have a queen size bed. I plan to buy all new furniture (except the mattress). Looking for suggestions for furniture that will fit and maximize storage. I am attaching a rough floor plan showing the windows, doors & bed placement. We are committed to keeping the bed there because we have a beautiful view out the window and I love to be able to see it first thing in the morning.


I found a bed on Wayfair (see picture) that has some storage in the headboard. I'm thinking if I get this I can eliminate the need for nightstands and either hang or wall-mount lights. What I can't figure out is where to put a dresser or wardrobe. With the limited space I'm thinking a wardrobe with shelves might be easiest?





I'd love to hear your thoughts. Floors are vintage wood strip (maple?), my preferred color palette is coastal and style leans toward farmhouse.

    Where is the doorway to enter the room??

    Your room requires better storage

    These beds that have the cylinder lift frames will allow you to store a lot of items.




    They can be wood or upholstered.



    You can order this through Amazon, Home Depot or head to your local furniture store. They all carry them.

    We love our old waterbed storage headboard which even has built in lamps and and under bed dressers. We have upgraded mattresses several times since our poor newly wed days but we can't find modern furniture as sturdy or practical. you could put a dresser or highboy next to either window. maybe a chair and drink table by the window.

    Like the look of the bed u picked; but, the extra support leg that sits back looks like it was not stained to match the wood on the other legs. Apologies, if I am being too picky.

    How about a bench with or without storage at the foot of the bed?

    The storage section is quite narrow and looks like it would only hold a few books. Would you consider an end table with a drawers that could potentially hold underwear and socks?

    Where do those doors lead ? I assume you do not have a closet and IMO in samll space a thick headboard takes up valuable space for not real storage at all .I think even a big high bulky headbosrd would not be my choice in a small space ever I agree there are great storage option with night tables but you insist on bed placement that really limits night table space . I think a bed no real headboard and placed on the wall at the bottom facing the doors might work a tight squeeze to get past the foot end but would then allow for an actual wrdrobe on the wall at the top.

    So the door nearest to the corner is the door in/out of the room and the second door is the closet. Right now we only have a nightstand on one side of our existing bed, there simply isn't room on the other side. As for changing the bed placement - someone would have to convince my husband to put in another window LOL.

    Could you change the door so it swings out into the hallway? Bifold or sliders into closet?

    @Partim changing the swing of the door definitelty would help. I'll check but I think we already ruled that out due the the limited space in the hall.

    I am not a fan of barn doors (poor privacy) but it may be an option depending on how many people live in the house. Curtain for the closet.

    How high off the ground is the window at the foot of the bed?

    Over-bed shelf with lights for reading?

    C-tables that slide under/over bed during the day when the door needs to stand open, pull out at night after the door is closed?
