I have now chosen the winners for the Best Small Bedroom Contest. I set out to choose only 3 but in the end I had to give away 4 prizes for very significant reasons. But before I get into that, let me tell you who the winners are. The 4 winners are…

I recently moved into a raised modular home from a bi-level. The space I have is very limited. I have double sliding glass doors both upstairs and down.I desperately need decorating ideas. I also have a full hearth both upstairs and down with a fireplace in one and a franklin stove in the other. I have living and dining combo. and a small kitchen. I also have three very small bedrooms.

I have the best small bedroom on the planet! I live in a tiny studio apartment in downtown DC and have no choice but to be very creative about my entire living space. However, I do have to say there is a downside to my “bedroom nook” Itâs such a nice quiet sanctuary that itâs hard to leave sometimes.
I live in a small studio apartment and itâs all about dividing up the space and using what I already have to make it work. To have my bedroom be a separate space, I used an open bookshelf coming off the wall and sheer curtains from the ceiling that I can leave open or close off my bed from…
I just love my daughterâs room. We just painted last week and the soft pink just makes the room glow. There are so many things I love about her room. The shelves above the bed help keep things off of the floor as does the headboard/shelves.
View a few before and after photos of Autumnâs kitchen in her studio apartment. Here we can see how small changes can make a big difference. She painted her wall and we can also see she hung up some photos to server as a focal point.
I think this small bedroom is the best, because it is so in style with Hannah Montana bedspread and accessories. My granddaughter who lives with us enjoys the bedroom every day. She is a Hannah Montana fan. This was her very first bedroom, too.
Our nursery is in a home 100+ years old. We wanted vibrancy, no pastels and chose eggshell walls (6 coats!) with candy-apple trim and black accents. Daddy hand-made the crib. Best part: totally unfinished when I went into labor a month early, daddy completed it in 36 hours!
I think my room is the best because even though its small, I made the best of its space. I think my room is especially good because it has a theme to it. Nothing fancy, just a color theme: red, black and white.
I just did my room over because we had a small flood in our house at Christmas time. My mom said I can do what I want, so I scraped together all my creative juices and came up with this. It is beautiful and unique, just like me.
OOH LA LA! I have always thought of myself as a “girlie-girl.” For about 11 years, I had the same, somewhat childish bedroom and when I FINALLY got around to redecorating it, I thought to myself…
I think my small bedroom is the best because my room represents who I am. It is filled with ribbons I won in horse shows and many good memories! I also think my small bedroom is the best because I can walk in my room and feel like I am at the barn but without the smell and work…
No, Iâm not entering two rooms! I work from home and we have a 700 sq. ft. place with two tiny rooms. We had to make room for baby, but I still needed a place to work to pay for those diapers! Solution-the nursery/home office… look…
Every time that I enter my small room I am very proud of the ways in which I have organized it. My small bedroom is the best, first of all, because it is romantically pleasing to the eyes and inviting to the soul.
I think my small bedroom is the best because it is the perfect place for dreaming whether I am awake or asleep. It is decorated with all the things that make me happy, and to be quite honest, it is where I keep most of my possessions that I use on a daily or nightly basis.
We painted all four walls a pale grey and put down silver/grey carpet. The room was lacking something, and just looked like a small grey box. I added wallpaper with a white background and grey, black and white stripes to one solid wall in the room.
This was a fairly newer home and after a couple of years I got tired of the white walls. The furniture was left over from the post college collection and I wanted to be proud of where my guests would stay when they come visit.
My small bedroom is a winner because of its uncluttered look, and unique fusion of French and Asian themes. My walls were antiqued by me in a soft buttery toffee color with white glaze, making the occupant feel they are in the bedroom of chateau.
This bedroom, in Boulder, Colorado, was once intended as an enclosed porch so two of the walls are actually large windows. I took advantage of the natural light by hanging gauze curtains which provided a warm, dreamy atmosphere.
I had an EXTREMELY small bedroom I used to live in. My old bedroom was a closet. Me and my two other roommates moved into a two bedroom apartment with a storage closet which I ended up with for a bedroom. I moved out of my small bedroom just over a month ago.
I feel my bedroom has itâs own personal charm. It may be small, but my room reflects my personality and itâs one of the only places I can think of as my own sanctuary. I color coordinated the room around whiteâwhite being a color that represents purity. It seemed to fit with my sanctuary idea.
My bedroom is very small and that helps it go along with our very small house (600 sq. feet total). The room is small but has a cozy feel to it and everything has to be arranged just right for it to fit properly. I have tried my best to do that.
Our whole cabin is very smallâunder 500 ft. We love living in the mountains and our little home suits us. We like the cozy feeling of a small bedroom. We have the bed at an angle to be able to see the view and since we have two dogs it gives them room on either side of the bed.
I think my small bedroom is the best because this is what all my friends and family always tell me (and I have to admit, I tend to agree!). Itâs tough still living at home, so I needed a bedroom that I could escape to for long periods of time which means it had to be equipped with everything.
The walls of my bedroom are decorated with my artwork and with outside images I have collected in the past. Every time I feel confined I glance at the hung works and the company, pleasure, inspiration, and grandeur that they bring aggrandize and dominate over the smallness of the room.
My room is the best because it packs a lot of punch for such a small space. It is my bedroom, office, entertainment centre, ‘crafts’ room and coffee/snack bar. What I love most about my room is the colour.
My wife and I have a very small den. We want to hang a flat screen on the wall to save space. We have a one year old and we would like to have a VCR/DVD player for her. Can you suggest where to put the VCR/DVD players? We did not buy a TV/VCR/DVD combo.
I just bought a 600 sq. foot condo in an association that doesn’t have a fitness center. This meant that I had to forfeit an entire bedroom wall for an elliptical cross trainer! I also need a tall fan in front of it blowing directly on my face/torso. The space would look less cluttered if a fan could be mounted on some kind of an arm that came out of the wall (up high). Do you know of anything like that?
I live in a very small house and run an animal rescue group out of our home as well. Iâm embarrassed to say weâre overcome with clutter and somewhat hopeless that we can clean up this small living space and make it enjoyable to be in.
I found your web site and am looking for a small desk to replace the one I got in grade school. It is 15 inches deep by 46 inches wide. It has 4 drawers. All the desks I have seen are deeper like 24 inches deep. Do you have any suggestions?
I will be purchasing a small (600 square metres) one bedroom condo unit. I would like to know what wall color would make my space look bigger. I love optimistic, warm colours. Or is cool better?
I live in a efficiency apartment that has 2 rooms and a bathroom. I have a computer and some books. I bought a desk but it was too big. I also realized that I did not want my bedroom to feel like an office.
I canât work out whether you are based in America or the UK or somewhere elseâsome of the websites on your site are UKâbut I canât find a UK website or address dealing with the Sapien bookcasesâonly US and they donât deliver here (UK). Do you know of anyone who would deliver that bookcase (preferably the tall one) here?
My name is Amber. My partner and I have a cute home in Mullumbimby with two rather long rectangular rooms which we are struggling with. One has a lot of light and has become the T.V., computer and play room (for our two kids under six) and the other, a quiet room situated between bedrooms and is also the entrance of the house.
I thought of a few more questions regarding small spaces and remembered how helpful you were with my desk/bookcase issue. I decided on the floral printed desk which is perfect!! Just to refresh your memory. I am living in an efficiency apartment. There are 3 rooms. A full bathroom, a bedroom and a living room/kitchen area.
I have a very narrow space between my fridge and cabinet (4 to 5 inches wide) that is unused and I would like to find a roll-out tall shelf system that could go there. I would put my spices on it, so it can be shorter shelves in addition to normal sized ones. It can be anywhere from 12 to 16 inches deep. Any ideas?
I have a room that is only 78 inches wide. I would like to put two small beds in this room, but, I can only find twin beds that are 39 inches wide. Are there any beds less then 39 inches wide and where can I order them?
I have a small square kitchen that has enough room in one corner for a small bistro table or a storage cart. I am trying to find countertop height table with two drop leaves and storage underneath for cookbooks and a couple small appliances. It would serve as a breakfast, quick dinner for two table most of the time and an extra workspace when entertaining guests . I did see something similar at one time – before I needed it. Do you have any suggestions where I might find something like this or an alternative?

The Best Small Bedroom Contest was our first contest. So, we made the goals simple in the beginning. The contest needed 20 entries to be valid. Well, I’m very happy to say that the goals were met. We received a nice selection of entries and have come up with the 10 finalists.
Simple. Iâve made the contest really easy so that entering would be a piece of cake. This is what you need to do to enter⦠Have a small room. Although it doesnât have to be perfect, it should be nicely decorated with some unique characteristics. Select studio apartments may enter. Studio apartments with a separate bedroom made out of a closet, created from an alcove or partitioned off from the rest of the apartment qualify.
