Need help for my tiny rented bedroom!!

11 years ago

Hi All,

I have just rented a tiny bedroom - 101" x 103". It just about fits the double bed (54"x75") but barely has room for furniture. This is a major downsize and I need to figure out how to make it work. Realistically I don't want to spend more than $300-$400 on furniture as it's a rented space and I only see myself being here a year. But I do want to make it comfortable yet feel like I have space! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've drawn a rough plan of the room and attached it. More detailed measurements below. Also have attached one image as it currently is - but I am planning on changing it heavily.

THANK YOU! :)

WIDTH: 101" x 103"
HEIGHT: 97"

EAST FACING WALL (101")
Door: 33"
Electrical Socket: Standard 2 plug (starts 7" from door frame)
From End of Socket to Edge of Wall: 51"

SOUTH FACING WALL (103")
Electrical Socket: 13 inches from edge of West Facing Wall

WEST FACING WALL (101")
French Doors (open out of room not into room): 66" - but set in starting 13" from South Facing Wall

NORTH FACING WALL (103")
Radiator: 42.5" (starts 25" from door on East Facing Wall). Sticks out 3.5"

Looks like the head of the bed will have to be on the wall opposite the radiator.

Do you have to have a double bed? Could you build a loft bed? How about a bed with storage:

Search "small bedroom" in the bedroom category of Houzz photos for some great ideas. Love this one with photos of columns at the Jefferson Memorial on the back wall:

Thanks! Yeah I tried to rotate the bed so the headboard would be opposite the radiator but it meant the wardrobe doors wouldn't open. I may need to change the bed frame to include storage space alright but it would need to add height not width which is tricky to find ready made. I like the idea of a loft bed but since it's rented I don't think I could really do anything that involves attaching to walls...

best thing is to go through some photos with your sons and ask them what they would like in the bedroom.

Thanks Chemayne, yes, that is correct re: position of the bed. There is a small bedroom behind where the bed is currently and ultimately i'd like to turn it into a walk in robe. That's funny, i never considered the grey bed to be masculine, although my mum didn't like it so maybe that should have been a clue! I keep coming back to it though, but not too sure if it is too low for the room. Unfortunatley there doesn't seem to be many grey beds around to compare it with. As for those pictures, thank you. However i don't think any of them are my taste. They are all a bit busy i think. I like the white trim which i am going to get done. I think from these i'm leaing towards Ighter coloured walls as well. I think the blue walls on number 1 is a bit much and no:4 with different curtains would be okish too.

If you are wanting to almost start over, I would paint in a soft blue or soft blue/green or soft green. These colors are restful, soothing and inviting. Wood floors will be great. I would get white bedding and maybe some colorful shams. White will work with anything else. Move the bed in the center of the wall. I would repaint the nightstand white and move it closer to the closet to be able to center the bed. Get another nightstand same height. Or get two new white taller night stands. You could get a small desk to go with the chair. Paint the chair white. Maybe window panels in a semi-sheer woven frint fabric. Place a dressing mirror on the back of the door. Take the colors from the drape for throw pillows on the bed. It will feel bright and fresh, yet restful. Something like this feeling Wall color and bedding
