Designing a small space isn’t easy, which is why layout plays such an important role in where furniture is placed. One layout you might have to consider in a tiny bedroom is the bed in the corner — and while it might not be ideal, designers are making it work. Some designers are even creating bespoke designs that slot neatly into niches, nooks, and corners.
At first glance, it seems like a fairly simple change, but how effective is it in making a small bedroom more useful, functional, multipurpose, and visually appealing? 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.
