What bed is best for a small room? Whether you’re renting your first studio apartment and you don’t have much floor space in your bedroom, moving into a new house and stuck on where to store all your clothes, or wondering how to style a small guest room, finding the right bed to suit both your space and your individual needs is no easy task. Dive in with Plank+Beam as we explore the best beds for small rooms.
6 Great Bed Options for Small Rooms
1. Twin Beds
Perfect for tight spaces, twin beds are compact yet comfortable. Ideal for children’s rooms, guest rooms, or even as a daybed in a studio apartment, twin beds provide all the comfort you need without dominating the room. If you want a more tailored look, consider a twin bed with a sleek, low-profile frame. Explore our wood twin bed frames today.
2. Bunk Beds
Bunk beds are a classic space-saving solution. They use vertical space efficiently, making them perfect for shared bedrooms or vacation homes. Modern bunk beds (like wood bunk beds from Plank+Beam) go beyond the basics, with stylish designs and added features like underbed storage drawers or built-in shelving, keeping the room organized and clutter-free.
3. Loft Beds
Looking to save some serious floor space? A loft bed could be the answer. With the bed raised high off the ground, you can utilize the space underneath for a desk, dresser, or even a cozy reading nook. Loft beds are especially useful in studio apartments, allowing you to maximize every inch. Check out our collection of solid wood loft beds.
4. Trundle Beds
If you need an extra bed occasionally but don’t want to sacrifice floor space, a trundle bed is the perfect option. These beds come with a hidden pull-out bed frame underneath, which can be easily rolled out when you need it and stowed away when you don’t. Trundle beds, like our top-reviewed full size trundle bed, are fantastic for guest rooms or kids' rooms where sleepovers are a regular occurrence.
5. Storage Beds
Storage beds are a lifesaver for small rooms lacking closet space. These beds come equipped with built-in drawers or compartments, providing a smart solution for storing bedding, clothing, or seasonal items. With storage beds, you don’t need additional furniture that could overcrowd your room. Our queen bed frame with storage is an excellent choice.
6. Murphy Beds
For the ultimate space-saving option, consider a Murphy bed. These beds fold up into the wall when not in use, transforming a bedroom into a multi-functional space in seconds. Murphy beds are ideal for small apartments, home offices, or multipurpose guest rooms, letting you reclaim your room when it’s not being used for sleep.
