SMALL BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS THAT MAXIMIZE COZINESS
Doing the most, in a good way.
1. UNDERBED STORAGE
“I’m a huge fan of platform beds with dressers underneath,” Bobby Berk says. “There’s so much real estate under your bed that can be maximized with proper storage.” To optimize that space, Berk recommends using vacuum-sealed bags for clothes you don’t wear, storing them in stackable, organized boxes.
2. NEUTRAL PALATTE
“When you’re working with a small space, a neutral palette is ideal,” Bobby Berk advises. Go for subdued, natural colors, and stick with them throughout the space. In a bedroom, for instance, opting for white cotton sheets, a white linen duvet, and a neutral quilted throw can achieve a layered look without relying on bold pops of color, which can feel cluttered
3. DOUBLE-DUTY FURNITURE
In this Brooklyn Heights apartment, a West Elm dresser is repurposed as a roomy nightstand to house bouquets, books, and beauty products.
4. WOOD-WALLED BEDROOM
For a Silicon Valley family's woodland retreat - sans the rustic implications of a cabin in the woods - architect Cynthia Wang and designer Jamie Bush conjured a completely new take on the country house that brings urban cool to Sierra, Nevada. The minimally-decorated bedrooms feature built-in wooden closets and a desk to keep from eating into the floorspace with hefty furnishings.
5. BALANCED BEDROOM
Retail guru Jeffrey Kalinsky's West Village townhouse maximizes the impression of space by keeping the use of color low to the floor in the master bedroom. A bed by Christopher Ostafin and a 1990s bench by Campion Platt fill out the space along with a circa-1950 chair by Illum Wikkelso from Hostler Burrows.
6. ARTSY LILAC BEDROOM
In the master bedroom of this colorful Upper West Side apartment, a Hästens bed is dressed in linens by Sferra and Olatz, the circa-1970 side tables are by Milo Baughman, and the lamp is by Taylor; the walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Cinder Rose, and the photographs are by Marsha Lebedev Bernstein.
7. MONOCHROMATIC DECOR
In art and furniture dealer Ralph Pucci's Long Island beach house, a guest bedroom is characterized by whispers of grey and blue, which give the small space some big personality. The Charles P. Rogers bed is dressed in bedding by Restoration Hardware, and a Bertoia chair is paired with a vintage Indonesian desk. The photograph is by Christopher Makos.
8. BATHROOM AND BEDROOM ALL-IN-ONE
In a couple's 19th-century villa high in the hills on the isle of Capri, even the home's smaller spaces offer an easygoing, contemporary retreat. In the tiny guest room, an installation of porcelain roses is by Art et Floritude. The marble tub is antique, and the floor is paved with travertine tiles.
9. CLOSE QUARTERS
Earthy tones make two New York designers' Marrakech riad feel cozy rather than cramped. The master bedroom's rug was found in a souk. The bed is dressed with a blanket and linens by Matteoand pillow shams by Libeco, the floor lamps are by Lilah Spirit and the drawing is by Raffone.
10. TREASURE TROVE BEDROOM
A New York collector fills his bedroom with eye-catching items, lending excitement to every corner of the little space. The bedroom's rug is from J&D Oriental Rugs, the crewel bedspread was bought in a thrift shop and the English tufted-leather chest was found on 1stdibs. The French lantern is from David Stypmann Co.
11. INNOVATIVE MATERIALS
In this rental treehouse in Florence, a chalkboard doubles as a headboard and an overturned milk crate works as a bedside table.
12. WALL-MOUNT TABLES
A wall-mounted bedside table in the bedroom of designer Raquel Garcia makes sure every square inch is used, allowing a little extra room for a showpiece custom headbaord.
13. SMART BEDSIDES
In the master bedroom of this West Village apartment , the bed and side tables are custom designs, the walls are sheathed in a custom grass cloth by Work + Sea, and the sconces are by Jason Koharik.
