Designate Zones
- Sleeping Zone: the top priority of your bedroom. Ask yourself to question your current sleeping condition: Do you feel fully relaxed at night? Is the bed placement a little off to you?
- Relaxation/Reading Zone: a comfy little corner filled with a number of things you love: copies of your favorite books, a little coffee stand with a cute mug on, a lazy bean bag waiting to be laid upon.
- Work/Study Zone: I’m all about multi-purposing for a small bedroom, so it definitely makes sense to include a workplace if that’s what you need. Keep the furniture in a light and neutral color scheme for a simplistic look.
- Dressing/Vanity Zone: It could be your closet or your vanity area. Put remember to put alway products in storage to avoid cluttering. Always utilize multi-purpose furniture and fully utilize vertical storage solutions for space optimization.

1. Avoid Excessive Furniture & Declutter
You don’t have to be a hoarder to be in need of a seasonal declutter desperately. Bedroom is always a good place to start before easing into the rest of your home.
This is especially true for all the small apartment livers, our tiny master bedroom should be the one place that is clutter-free and actually relaxed to live in.
For a small bedroom space, you don’t need tons of furniture pieces. So keep everything to the essentials only.
Say bye to the bean bag chair on the floor, or the extra vanity mirror, a new chapter of minimalist living is about to be unveiled.
2. Bed Direction Shift
The sleeping area takes up the most space. A simple trick that fits most very small bedroom layouts is to shift the bed direction.
Make the shift to have the longer side of the bed in line with the wall, and the bed to the corner.
You will have more space left open for optimization, group them together for organization.
3. Optimize Vertical Space with Floating Shelves
Think about what other areas you may need in your small bedroom, is it a reading spot? Or do you put on makeup there too?
Then think vertically for space optimization. Utilize the empty wall space up to the ceiling.
A great idea is to have open shelves floating both for storage and decor display, maximizing the bedroom’s full vertical potentials.
4. Light and Minimal Color Palette
Small bedrooms in general work best with white color scheme, because it helps opening up, creating the illusion of a bigger space.
With that being said, I always like to have a pop of color for my master bedroom, giving more personal touch to the room.
So for the case of a tiny master bedroom, I’d suggest having a minimal color palette. You can have creamy white being the main color for the clean aesthetic, then brown as the secondary color for the cozy warmth.
This light and minimal color palette creates such a relaxed vibe. I also love that it finishes up this modern look by adding a sensational silver pendant light.
5. Try a Low Level Floor Bed
The biggest furniture piece in your small bedroom is often the bed frame. For example, a small space can feel even more cramped with an elaborated footboard.
On the other hand, a low bed will make a tiny bedroom feel more spacious and inviting.
If you are opting for a low level floor bed, reflect in the height of your nightstand to create a nice visual balance.
6. Adopt Mirrors and Greenery
The secret to get rid of the stuffiness from a tiny master bedroom is to open up the space.
Placing a mirror in the room by the window will reflect more light into the room, bringing in sunshine to brighten up the space.
Adding in greeneries is another great idea to keep the energy lively and vivaciously.
Your tiny master bedroom will feel more light and airy with mirrors and greenery added in.
7. Rustic Farmhouse Style
If you sometimes aspire to live a simple farmhouse lifestyle, why not embrace the coziness of your small master bedroom.
The smaller space is perfectly made for a simple and rustic decor.
Jazz up the white room with an iron bed. The heavy-duty (perhaps antique) wicker storage trunk adds a special charm to the space.
8. Clear Ghost Chair
You don’t have to sacrifice home decor style when attempting to save space for a small bedroom.
Acrylic furniture is a great example for decor illusion through the help of transparent materials.
It will also be a chic addition to your aesthetically-pleasing room.
9. Low Profile Nightstands
You wouldn’t want to waste precious space by having gigantic nightstands. Instead, have narrow ones only to place essentials like your phone or a nighttime read.
This idea with a white floating nightstand remains a luxurious look but is pretty low in profile, just the perfect choice for small master bedrooms.
10. Sconces by the Bed for Lighting
Install sconces above head on both sides of your headboard is a great idea for a small bedroom.
It provides solutions to both functional concerns and aesthetics standards.
This idea offers additional lighting to the small space, which is quite essential. It also optimizes the vertical space by reducing the visual clutter around your bed.
11. Multi-Purpose Furniture
For a small master bedroom with limited space, it’s always a major pls to have multi-purpose furniture.
This leather folding chair on the left adds a chic vibe to the room. Have multiple purposes including seating, temporary storage, and as a display platform.
You can also fold it away if you want to change up the room dynamics.
12. A Reading Spot
I love the idea of curating a cozy reading spot inside of a small master bedroom. It adds a special warmth and sophistication to the space.
Just a comfy seating sofa and a tiny coffee stand is enough, nothing too fancy.
Reading is an important daily activity, and trust me having a healthy dosage of book reading daily will help you live a more balanced lifestyle.
Conclusion
You as a person will feel more at ease resting in an open and inviting bedroom environment with style.
Remember the trick to make a small master bedroom look bigger is to improve both the functional benefits and the aesthetic styling.
