More Space in Your Place - Furnishing Small Bedrooms

By: Ben Weissman

There are times when it seems that there just isn't enough space in a given room to do anything stylistically pleasing, and you seem to be out of ideas. There's little worse than trying to come up with a sufficient design when you are lacking space. This is a common problem, especially in kids' rooms, where dimensions are usually no greater than 12x12, if that. Children's bedroom furniture doesn't even seem to be designed to this size specification anymore, which makes it difficult to have any organization in the room. However, there are always ways to get around this problem with certain styles of bedding, such as kids' bunk beds.

If you take a look at the line of beds offered by Fashion Bed Group, you may find the inspiration you are looking for, with a number of different styles available that will help you maximize the space in a small room, especially you children's rooms. They offer an incredible line of children's beds. One way to make space in these small rooms is to use a trundle day bed. This is especially useful in a room shared by two children, allowing one bed to be put away during the day so that there is more room to move around and play or do school work. Daybeds can also function as couches during the day for watching television, playing video games, or reading a book.

Often, there is a need for a toy box, dresser, or other storage mechanism in a child's room to hold clothes, toys, and miscellaneous items. However, you can do away with one of these pieces of furniture by opting for kids' storage beds, which can have a large storage space beneath the mattress and even drawers as the headboard and footboard. Using this can clear the space taken up by another large item in the room, therefore maximizing the floor space.

Similar to bunk beds but configured for a single room occupant, you can look at loft beds. These are great structures, providing the top bunk of a bunk bed unit with space beneath it for other uses. For example, you can locate your child's workstation with a computer and desk space for homework below the loft bed so that the rest of the floor space is still open for moving around. You could also place a dresser or toy chest below the bed, still opening up the room with less clutter.

Again, if two kids are sharing a room, the standard idea of kids' bunk beds is always a great space saver. They are usually pretty popular with young boys and girls, as well. Just be sure to purchase a sturdy product like those offered by respected manufacturers because kids tend to use these bed configurations as a jungle gym. Obviously, there are several options for ways to maximize the space in a small room, so consider the different items you can use in your children's room to make it less cluttered.
