When you have oversized furniture in a small space you have less space to move about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be a real hassle.&nbsp; Especially when you&#8217;re bumping into things, don&#8217;t have space to do any other activity aside from lay in your bed, or have trouble finding space to store your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of these things, your space can feel messy, crowded, and unwelcoming all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is often the case in dorm rooms.&nbsp; You have very little space, and you have to share a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why common areas are so popular.&nbsp; They become an escape from the small, packed space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a lot of creative solutions to gain space by lifting your furniture off the ground (i.e. loft beds and bunk beds), in this post I&#8217;m going to concentrate on traditional furniture arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CAlELCwnj9_\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-4.jpg\" alt=\"small bedroom ideas\" class=\"wp-image-159620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-4.jpg 564w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-4-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-4-258x322.jpg 258w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-4-409x510.jpg 409w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

Dressers, chests, and other stand-alone furniture are not required for a bedroom.&nbsp; Although, they are certainly nice to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When designing a small bedroom with large furniture start with the core needs first.&nbsp; If you have room to expand upon them you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, it is unlikely that you will be able to do so with limited space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/71072500360089288\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-5.jpg\" alt=\"small bedroom with large furniture\" class=\"wp-image-159622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-5.jpg 564w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-5-258x387.jpg 258w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/small-bedroom-5-409x614.jpg 409w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
