How to Maximize Your Small Bedroom Layout (DIY ideas to try right now!)

Your bedroom isn’t as small as you think!
Contrary to popular belief, your bedroom size isn’t the issue. The scale of your furniture, the amount of pieces you have in the room, and how tidy/messy you are is the REAL issue when it comes to the look and feel of your small bedroom.

In today’s video, we are talking about how to maximize your small bedroom layout to make it a more functional and inspiring space for you to relax and unwind. We’ll be diving into bedroom essentials, different room layouts, dissecting case studies so you see what creative solutions people are coming up with, and of course talk about all the fun ways you can personalize the space no matter how small that square footage really is.

  • I just bought a 1960s ranch home with multiple small bedrooms, so it’s good to focus on how I’ll manage making them comfortable and efficient.
  • @vienicestyles
    To make my small bedroom look bigger, I downsized from a queen sized bed to a full sized one. It instantly opened my bedroom up. Someone even asked me, “how does your bedroom look bigger to me now?” 🤭 It looks more balanced too because I have two nightstands instead of one. I miss my queen bed though. 😔 👸🏽

    Years ago, I had my dad move my bed on the wall with my door. On the first night, I was hearing voices in bed. I made him move my bed back to the opposite wall the next day. Turns out, that was bad feng shui! My bed was not in the command position! Thank you, Julie, for helping me make sense of this experience years later.
  • @gracegamboa1819
    Yes measurement is very important after listening to all your videos. I just kneeled my son's bedroom makeover! My husband and my friends think I should be a designer 🤣 thanks to Julie khuu design videos ❤❤❤
  • @cathyh1680
    Yes, outside the US 3 × 3 metres is pretty standard in modern and new homes where builders cut costs and make more from downsizing every room.. I am lucky to have a house built in the 1930's when the bedrooms were bigger then so my main bedroom is 4.5 x 3.5 metres which isn't that big but it makes a big difference that it is a bit longer. It has no closet or built in wardrobe of course so a free standing wardrobe takes up some space but I plan on doing a corner wardrobe to mediate that.
  • @amyfrancis9423
    Thank you very much Julie for creating this video about small bedrooms. I would love to see more videos about small space organization, especially how to organize kid's stuff.
  • Hey Julie, in Germany, when you rent a flat, you usually don't have these built in closets, so you have to put a huge armoire into the small bedroom which takes a lot of space away ....So I always look at your pictures thinking, hm, wish it could look like such a light scenario here ...But I really like all of your ideas! And pleeeeaaase tell me what nailpolish you are wearing. I love it!!!! ☺️
  • This was exactly what I needed for my tiny bedroom dilemma! Thanks for the practical tips and clever DIY hacks that I hadn't thought of before.
  • @BrunoKalix
    Excellent tips, Julie! And thank you for adding the metric system equivalents for international audiences.
  • Watching this vid felt like unlocking the secrets to a bigger, more functional bedroom! From clever storage solutions to creative furniture arrangements, this video is packed with inspiration for making the most out of a small bedroom.
  • @fionaschiffl8065
    I made a skinny beside cabinet on hidden castors so I can vac the space and make the bed. I made a long computer desk and hung the TV with hidden cables. I took out the wardrobe doors and put the dresser in there. I hung the curtain rods high and it look so much taller. I’m not compromising the king bed and just have to set it up with enough room for the fit ball at the desk. Can’t sleep upstairs in the main room after divorce. Have made the room pretty and need to hang the art. Painted the head board and made a removable foam piece for it and a couple of options for covers.
  • @cindylake7193
    Thank you Julie! I have been so confused as where I should put my bed. My room is exactly like your example!! I’m glad to know I learned from you where I put my bed.
  • Wow Julie! Your innovative suggestions were genius. I can't wait to implement these DIY ideas and see the transformation in my own small bedroom.
  • @shilpaverma4198
    I really like all ur videos very informative . I won’t say my bedroom is small but definitely a very difficult rectangle shape with awkward windows.
  • @barbaraknox2881
    You think of everything! How practical. Thank you so much 🤗
  • @reneeraw6927
    What a great upload! I love both bedrooms. The casual one is my favorite. Such great ideas here.💞
  • @nuthinbutlove
    There are some great bedroom designs in this vid. I can't wait to watch it again to pause and really study each one to hopefully find a few ideas that i can implement in my bedroom. Thanks so much!
