Small space doesn’t need to mean a boring and cluttered bedroom! With a few smart pieces you can create a functional, contemporary and playful kids’ bedroom which their owners will love.
Read our tips for the most stylish, design-conscious and sustainable solutions that will stand the test of time and bring out the full potential of a tiny room.
1. Did someone say ‘loft beds’?
Loft beds are all-time favourites of space-savvy parents, and kids simply love them. With more functions than just a bed, some of the smarter pieces offer storage drawers or even desks. When not needed, they can be simply hidden under (or inside) the bed.
AVA Loft Bed - available in white or natural. Six drawers provide generous storage, while the desk neatly tucks in when not needed.
Trundle beds
Trundle beds are excellent for sleepovers or holding plenty of storage in the trundle. Mathy by Bols’ Star Treehouse Bed is a beautiful example of a wow-factor bed with some very practical storage solutions: the shelves can be used for favourite books and toys, and the trundle provides spacious concealed storage.
Bunk beds
Bunk beds are siblings’ favourite and real space savers. AVA’s bunk bed offers a trundle for extra storage, while IO Bunk bed has lots of smart solutions for maximising compact space. You can also separate the two beds if the children eventually move to separate rooms.

2. Invest in good-quality convertible pieces

Invest in high-quality, well designed pieces of furniture to design a timeless, modern room that will be loved for years to come.
