This Small Bedroom Layout Will Make Your Space 'Feel Twice as Big', but It's Not Without Its Drawbacks

A small bedroom with a work desk, and a corner bed.

Designing a small space isn’t easy, which is why layout plays such an important role in where furniture is placed.

To better understand the concept, we consulted architects and designers who’ve used this strategy, and unpacked the various pros and cons that come with it, as well as the spaces it typically works best in.
