    How To Make A Small Bedroom Look Bigger – Get The Right Bed

     

    In a tiny bedroom you need to maximise every inch of space available. When every inch makes a difference you need to carefully consider the type of bed that's going into that space. Indeed, you may think that the only option for a small bedroom is a single bed but this isn't necessarily the case. Whilst a single bed is great for young children, if you want to use the bedroom as a guest room or even a teenagers bedroom then a single bed probably won't cut it. Luckily, there is the small double bed to fill this gap.

     

    Many people are aware of single, double and even king size beds. However, most people aren't aware that you can also get a small double bed. So what is a small double bed?

This is because we associate a bigger bed with a bigger space. Indeed, it's difficult for your eye to discern a double bed from a small double. In fact, this is a trick that designers use in show homes to make potential buyers think a bedroom is bigger than it is!
