How to make the best use of space, without giving up?
In this article we will answer all these questions. We will explore some space-saving solutions with different types of beds and conclude with practical tips and inspiration for furnishing your child’s bedroom in the best possible way.
Let’s start with some ideas and solutions for a comfortable and complete bedroom where children can have the space they need to sleep, play and relax. The first problem to solve is the arrangement of the two beds.
This is an important choice that will influence the whole atmosphere. The challenge is to balance the space occupied by the beds with that of the other furnishings to ensure freedom of movement and to be able to carve out functional and liveable corners for both guests.
Let’s see together which are the most interesting multifunctional solutions for small bedrooms.
Four types of bed to optimise space
When space is limited, we can choose between different bed options: bunk, raised, loft or convertible. When choosing, it is important to take several factors into account, such as the size of the room and personal needs.
Bunk beds are the most popular solution. By stacking the two beds on top of each other, it allows the vertical space to be optimised as much as possible.

The loft bed solution allows several functions to be concentrated along the same wall. The space under the loft bed can be used to position the other single bed, to create a study corner, a relaxation area or to insert a wardrobe.
Fitted and raised beds are a similar solution to bunk beds, but with the upper bed closer to the floor. The ideal choice if you have two small children and if space is very tight.
Convertible beds make it possible to completely revolutionise space. Thanks to a simple mechanism, a bed can be completely hidden to create a study corner with a desk, or the bed can be slid to free up the central space to make the most of it.
Practical tips for furnishing a room with two beds
Below we have collected some useful tips for making the most of the space in a small room.
If the room is really small, it might be a good idea to opt for foldaway beds to maximise the available space. Moving on to the study corner, you can choose sliding desks that can be pulled out only when needed.
Choose furniture that serves several functions and allows you to make the most of every corner. For example, bed desks, storage beds or storage steps.
Make use of every inch of the room, even the smallest and least visible, such as corners to store books, games or small objects. Walls can be used to hang shelves or shelves, freeing up floor space and creating a more spacious feeling in the room.
