Your bedroom is the space where you recharge and rest and it doesn’t need to have massive square footage and soaring ceilings to feel comfy.
In fact, small bedrooms often have a more intimate and cozier vibe that makes the space more personal and relaxing. Whatever small bedrooms may lack in space, they can make it up in atmosphere and charm.
Furthermore, according to the American Sleep Association, keeping stimulating activities away from bedrooms may lead to better night’s sleep. Distractions like work, TV or large pieces of furniture, can disrupt your sleep patterns. So, the less you can do in your bedrooms, the better for quality sleep. A small bedroom comes in handy in keeping such distractions at bay.
However, setting up your small bedroom to bring in new life and maximize the space can be challenging.
