A desk in the bedroom is very practical, serving as both a place to study and work, and a place to dress. However, not all bedrooms can accommodate one. In many homes, a bed and a wardrobe almost completely fill the entire space.
Squeezing a desk into a small bedroom is undoubtedly a challenge for many homeowners. But don't worry! Here are 8 successful examples worth learning from. See how others have managed to achieve this in their small spaces.
1. Forgo traditional bedside tables and opt for a smaller, more minimalist desk instead.
Place them on both sides or just one. Avoid placing a desk on one side and a table on the other. The different heights create a visual imbalance and significantly diminish the overall aesthetic.
2. For smaller apartments, this approach is also feasible: have a craftsperson construct a suspended desk without legs. This desk adds a touch of design flair without taking up too much space.
Pay special attention to the distance between the desk and the headboard to avoid a design flaw where you turn over in bed and bump your head against the bottom of the desk.
3. If your wardrobe takes up an entire wall, consider reserving some space near the window for a desk or bookcase, as in this example.
4. Or if your home features a tatami and wardrobe combination, you could also customize a desk like this one at the foot of the bed. Installing two or three shelves on top will enhance the interior's aesthetics and practicality, whether you're storing books or decorative items.
5. Many women have a fondness for bay windows. If their house doesn't have one, they often plan to create a tatami-style platform next to the window, as shown in the image below. This can also be used as a desk.
From the platform to the desk, to the walls and ceiling, all are made of wood veneer, which enhances the look.
6. Does having a floor-to-ceiling window in your bedroom seem a bit intimidating? Don't worry, you can create a small desk like in this example. It's more practical than just a railing, right?
7. Of course, bedroom balconies are often a great place for a desk, but this example is a bit more "greedy," extending the desk from the balcony, making it even larger. These empty walls and floors are empty anyway, so why not put them to good use?
8. Who says a bedroom desk that combines work and dressing needs to be a traditional desk? A folding table mounted on the wall is also fine. When not in use, it folds up and doesn't take up hallway space, making it perfect for smaller apartments.
