8 Small Condo Bedroom Design Ideas

When it comes to small condo bedroom design, the goal is to create a space that feels cozy and inviting while maximizing the limited space available. Here are some ideas to help you make the most out of your small condo bedroom.

8 Small Condo Bedroom Design Ideas

  1. Opt for a Murphy bed. A Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed, is a great space-saving solution for small bedrooms. It can be folded up and stored away during the day, leaving you with ample space to move around. You can also customize it to include built-in storage or a desk.
  2. Use multifunctional furniture. In a small bedroom, every piece of furniture needs to serve more than one purpose. Consider a storage ottoman that can double as a seating area or a bedside table with built-in drawers.
  3. Add mirrors. Mirrors are a great way to create the illusion of more space. Hang a large mirror above the bed or place a full-length mirror in a corner of the room.
  4. Keep it light and bright. A small bedroom can feel cramped if it’s painted in dark colors. Opt for light and neutral colors to make the space feel larger and brighter. You can also add pops of color through accessories like throw pillows or artwork.
  5. Hang curtains high. Hanging curtains close to the ceiling and letting them touch the floor creates the illusion of taller ceilings and more space. Choose light and airy curtains to keep the space feeling open.
  6. Invest in good lighting. Proper lighting can make a small bedroom feel larger and more welcoming. Use a combination of overhead lighting, table lamps, and floor lamps to create a cozy and inviting ambiance.
  7. Embrace vertical space. When you’re short on floor space, it’s important to think vertically. Install floating shelves or bookcases to maximize wall space and create additional storage.
  8. Keep it clutter-free. In a small bedroom, clutter can quickly take over and make the space feel even smaller. Keep surfaces clear and use storage solutions like baskets or under-bed storage to keep items out of sight.

A small condo bedroom can be transformed into a cozy and functional space with a little creativity and some smart design choices. By incorporating space-saving solutions and maximizing every inch of available space, you can create a bedroom that feels like a peaceful retreat.

5 Steps to Designing Your Condo Bedroom

Whether you’re in the process of buying a condo or are already a proud owner, there’s something to be said about updating your space to ensure it matches your needs and personal style. No room is more important to consider for a refresh than your bedroom: not only is it the most private space in your condo, but it’s also meant to be a room for rest and relaxation.

5 Steps to Designing Your Condo Bedroom

As you approach these changes, keep reading for five steps to designing your new condo bedroom.

  1. Start with a design quiz. Before you begin planning or purchasing anything for your bedroom, take a moment to consider what your personal style actually is. Do you gravitate towards a modern look, or are you more bohemian? Are you maximalist or minimalist? Take a style quiz online, and pay attention to the design-oriented social media accounts you follow – both of these clues will help you create a style framework to operate in.
  2. Consider your budget. Depending on the level of updates you’re hoping to make, changes to your space can get pricey (especially if they involve work that you outsource, like painting or re-wiring). Knowing your budget before you begin will ensure you make the updates you want without breaking the bank.
  3. Sketch your layout. Play architect and draw the layout of your room, including your bed and any existing furniture. Try your best to draw things to scale, and use a couple of sketches to “rearrange” the room so you can understand how pieces will fit together without actually having to physically move anything. This is an especially important step if you’re planning on buying new furniture!
  4. Start with the big pieces first. Create your to-do list starting with the biggest changes first, such as any painting or big furniture. These bigger changes set the aesthetic tone for the rest of the room: by making these changes first, you can make sure that the rest of your decor matches.
  5. Hone in on personal touches. Since your bedroom is such a personal space, make sure that you’re incorporating pieces that are unique to you, such as photos, books and nostalgic items.
