How to Maximize Your Small Bedroom Layout (DIY ideas to try right now!)
Your bedroom isn’t as small as you think!
Contrary to popular belief, your bedroom size isn’t the issue. The scale of your furniture, the amount of pieces you have in the room, and how tidy/messy you are is the REAL issue when it comes to the look and feel of your small bedroom.
In today’s video, we are talking about how to maximize your small bedroom layout to make it a more functional and inspiring space for you to relax and unwind. We’ll be diving into bedroom essentials, different room layouts, dissecting case studies so you see what creative solutions people are coming up with, and of course talk about all the fun ways you can personalize the space no matter how small that square footage really is.

    To make my small bedroom look bigger, I downsized from a queen sized bed to a full sized one. It instantly opened my bedroom up. Someone even asked me, “how does your bedroom look bigger to me now?” 🤭 It looks more balanced too because I have two nightstands instead of one. I miss my queen bed though. 😔 👸🏽

    A few points: * I have rarely seen a _square_ bedroom on the West Coast. They are usually rectangular, usually n x n+1 or n+2. So 10 x 11 or 10 x 12, 9 x 11, 11 x 13, etc. * Thinking back to all the bedrooms in all the houses and apts I have lived in or hung out in, I think bedroom closets are _rarely_ positioned where they would be behind the open bedroom door. When they are back-to-back like you talked about, the bedroom with the door opening on the right, as you showed, would have the closet on the left. The one exception was a master bedroom I once had where the left side had a passage to an en-suite sink and toilet/bath. * I have always naturally followed some of the feng shui rules. However, I recently found I rather like being along a window (twin bed parallel to window wall, about 16" from that wall), where I can see out at an angle while my head is against the long wall. I wonder if that is OK. Also, why would the assumption be that "energy coming through the window" is "negative"? * It seemed to me that many of the examples that flashed (too quickly) on-screen while she was talking about individual elements, were actually _bad_ feng shui layouts! * I wanted to start a new drinking game: take a drink every time she says "... _plop_ it in...". (Wouldn't "place it" be a more accurate and elegant way of saying it?)

    Try to focus less on the windows/ walls and more on what’s happening inside on the floor plan.

    Yes, outside the US 3 × 3 metres is pretty standard in modern and new homes where builders cut costs and make more from downsizing every room.. I am lucky to have a house built in the 1930's when the bedrooms were bigger then so my main bedroom is 4.5 x 3.5 metres which isn't that big but it makes a big difference that it is a bit longer. It has no closet or built in wardrobe of course so a free standing wardrobe takes up some space but I plan on doing a corner wardrobe to mediate that.

    Julie, I am a 70 years 😅 young Grandma who has to use a BYPAP machine,a nebulizer and have to storage 30 days worth of three different ampules at a time. I also take 18 prescriptions and all of these NEED to be near my bed. How do you recommend making all these medical necessities look nice? I have a very feminine white and mint duvet, white rounded corner turned leg nightstand with an all white 3 tiered, ventilated cart for my machines and medications. I have white Battenberg lace on my 4 windows with blackout under treatments. I have thought about adding a lace removable treatment to my cart, but my machines require air flow. I don't think that I am the only person who wants a lovely bedroom, but needs extra stuff near their bed. Would you consider doing a special segment about special needs?

I have figured out how to deal with these meds. The machines that I use a couple of times a day are the problems. They have tubes and are really ugly. I have started rolling up 40 feet of tubing that I only use at night, which is a PAIN! Then I roll up the BYPAP tubes, face mask and headgear and store it in a pillowcase that is the same as my duvet cover. There is so much stuff that I have two three tired carts with medical stuff.

    Replace queen with full size bed - many are in great condition at bargain price in second hand stores. Move bed to a wall that gives you at least 18” on each side and 24” to stand in front of closet. Either run sheer drapes across the entire wall or replace window drapes with inside mount Roman shade. Replace table lamp with wall sconces. Hang mirror opposite the window to add symmetry and reflect natural light to other walls. Paint the entire room - windows, doors, walls, moldings, maybe ceiling - all the same color. Replace any small pictures with 1 very large picture. If room has no carpet, leave floor bare or get solid rug 6” to 12” smaller than room on all 4 sides.

    Hi Julie. I'm originally from SE Asia and in my country, the building code requires that for a bedroom, one of the sides must be at least 2m. It's common to have bedrooms which are 2x2.5m or 2x3m for budget builds or apartments. Of course if one has more space or $$, then the rooms can be bigger. The bedrooms in my rented apt are 2x3m. It can fit a double bed (full size) or single bed/ day bed. Studio apartments can be as small as 15 to 20 sqm (~150 to 200 sq ft). Thnx for the vid, great ideas!

    Hey Julie, in Germany, when you rent a flat, you usually don't have these built in closets, so you have to put a huge armoire into the small bedroom which takes a lot of space away ....So I always look at your pictures thinking, hm, wish it could look like such a light scenario here ...But I really like all of your ideas! And pleeeeaaase tell me what nailpolish you are wearing. I love it!!!! ☺️

    That’s interesting! In the states, you can’t call a room a “bedroom” without a closet (for resale value). The second case study had wall-to-wall Ikea closets across the foot of the bed. Did you catch that? Definitely makes the room more cramped, but no choice!

    Hi. That's considered as bad feng shui (bcos those things might fall on you - from what I remember). Maybe you can put the cabinet/ open shelf on the side wall? (not the wall where the head of the bed is). If your stuff on the side wall fall on you, at least they won't fall on your head.

The corner diagonal to the door has corner windows so all 4 walls have something & it is impossible for symetry around the headboard. Closet is at the foot of the bed and one nightstand is in front of a window & the other is not.

    Yes, it's bad feng shui if the sink is directly in front or visible from the entrance door. In the sink, you lose energy (down the drain), so the good energy/ chi may go down the drain. (from what I can remember from past vids). As to solutions, maybe you can put a plant or small table/ shoe rack at the entryway? Not sure, though. Let's hope that Julie will chime in.

    If the sink is right smack dab in the path of the door and it’s literally a few feet away, then yes- all the good chi entering the home will go “down the drain”. But if you have a nice plant in its path, omnidirectional lighting like a chandelier that can slow chi down, or even an island blocking the path- it’s perfectly fine.

    Hi. I'm from SE Asia. In my country, the building code requires that for a bedroom, one of the sides must be at least 2m. It's common to see rooms which are 2x2.5 or 2x3m. We're also generally smaller than Europeans, so it works. The bedroom in my rented flat now is 2x3m. Of course, if one is richer or has more space, then rooms can be bigger.

    I’d say it depends on how they get along each year but you’ve got to go with what works for your family. In olden days, there would be a few kids in one bed. I’d say the only other options would be either a trundle, Murphy beds or bunk beds. Maybe even a Murphy bed in another room. Maybe even a bed with storage underneath so they might not need a standard size dresser if they have one. I slept in the lounge for about 4 yrs and then 2 yrs in the dining room during my separation and just gave the ex the main room. I enjoyed it for the most part but he complained that I didn’t want him in the kitchen late at night waking me up but it was the best option at the time.

    @alla - I grew up in SE Asia and my family wasn't rich. There, it's common for siblings (esp if same gender) to share a bed. I shared a room & bed with my elder sister until my late teens. I only had my own room after she moved out due to work (in another city). Looking back, there were many times when I wished that I had my own room and/ or bed. I think if the kids are still young (below 10 or 12), then it's OK to share a bed. After that, if they can't have own rooms, then maybe own beds? I would choose bunk beds with privacy curtains, when that time came.
