Do you feel stuck with your small bedroom space?
We’ve all been there…hello, flashbacks of sharing a closet called a dorm room with two other students!
You don’t have to live in a crowded, uncomfortable, and stuffy room. There are many ways to improve and enhance the space you have.
Whether you’re working with a guest bedroom that you want to feel warm and inviting for your in-laws or your own bedroom in your tiny apartment that you want to transform into a little oasis for you to cozy-up in after a long day…
We’ve got you covered! In this article, we’ll share our best tips for creating what feels like a luxurious and calming bedroom even in a small, awkward space.
Creating a Comfortable & Chic Bed Space
It’s crucial to start updating your space with the most important area in the bedroom–the bed!
Your bed will likely take up most of the design in a small bedroom, and there might not be enough room for more furniture in the space with which you’re working. We think it’s crucial to start with the basics and spend the most amount of energy and time curating the bed of your dreams.
Transforming your bedroom starts with utilizing the unique space you already have. Finding the perfect space for your bed often means thinking outside of the box and getting creative about where you want and are able to put your bed.
Next, finding the best headboards or bed frames can really set the tone of your bedroom style.
We recommend finding a durable, simple, and sophisticated headboard for a small space so as not to clutter the room and make it seem even smaller than it already is.
If you’re looking for a new bed, try this simple, slipcovered one from Target that will elevate your space into a modern and restful sleeping space.
Choosing the Right Decor
Making a room where you spend so much of your down time in your own is vital to keeping your stress levels down. We know the world can be a crazy place, and when you find time to finally put your feet up, you want to be surrounded by things that are important to you and make you feel at home.
Decorating a small space may seem daunting, but the key is to be selective about what you fill the space with.
You don’t have to display your child’s fiftieth dance recital picture in your bedroom if you don’t want to…keep that on the family fridge!
Instead, try supporting your friend who happens to be an artist and ask for a print of a painting that you like and place it in a simple frame to hang on a wall.
Ultimately, it’s up to you what you decide to decorate your space with. Plants, area rugs, poufs and throw pillows are just some of the ways you can tailor your bedroom to your liking.

Picking the Perfect Bedding and Mattress
Your bedding is another focal point of your bedroom, especially in a small one.
Bedding is the heart of your space. It can both keep you warm and cool you down. It’s softness and quality is exceptionally noticeable when you’re trying to get a nap in or a good night’s sleep; therefore, it’s crucial to select the best bedding for your bed.
Starting with the foundation of your bed, the mattress, you should invest as much as you can to ensure the best sleep environment.
The next layer on your bed is a mattress protector. This is perhaps just as important to ensuring your mattress’s quality as the quality of your mattress itself.
One’s Own Tencel and TPU Waterproof mattress protectors help create the ideal bedroom by protecting your mattress and bed from allergens, bed bugs, and other external elements.
Plus, if you purchase a One’s Own mattress protector, you are choosing an environmentally conscious alternative to other leading brands. One’s Own mattress protectors can complete your small bedroom and elevate it to a meaningful, hygienic, and sustainable one.
To top your mattress protector, you can either add a statement to your bedroom or maintain a neutral and more restful look with simple and solid-colored sheets and comforter or duvet.
Finally, the best way to get the bedroom of your dreams even with a small space is to remember that above all, your bed is what you make of it!
Start piece by piece and gradually add elements into your small space to foster a comfortable and serene environment.
At One’s Own, we are committed to ensuring you a quality, effective, and breathable mattress protector to make even the smallest of bedrooms feel like home.
