Tiny bedrooms are big on possibilities. If you’re considering a general remodel for your Pasadena home and you have a smaller bedroom, there’s a lot you can do to get more out of this space. Consider these tips for optimizing your small bedroom for style and space as you remodel your home in Pasadena. 

Build Vertical Storage 

Storage units are a must in any bedroom, but you have to think taller – not wider – to make storage in a smaller space work. This is where built-in, vertical shelves come into play. These units save space because they aren’t located on the main bedroom floor where most of the activity is. Vertical units take advantage of the unused space on your wall to keep your belongings in place without taking up unnecessary space. 

Incorporate Versatile Furniture

While the bed is essentially the main point of the BEDroom, there’s no need for it to take up more space than it needs to. A Murphy bed is a special type of bed that folds up into the wall when not in use. Make sure you have a solid wall to support the Murphy bed, and avoid using these types of beds on carpeted floors as they can snag. 

Go With Sliding Doors 

Sliding doors are an underrated way to achieve more space in your small bedroom. Simply put, a swinging door takes up more space when you open and close it, so you need to account for door clearance. Instead of using up your already limited square footage, opt for a sliding door that takes up less room. You can do pocket or barn-style doors or you can go with frosted glass doors for a unique twist. 

Raise the Floors

A platform floor opens up a whole new world of space under your bed. By creating a raised floor during your general remodeling project, you can make a space under your bed to incorporate storage for anything from bed linens to books to hobby equipment. Raise it up high enough and create a lofted bed and have enough room for a desk and a chair beneath to make it a small, but functional space within a space.
