When space is a constraint, how does one fit a full-sized bed into a tiny space? Studio apartments and one-bedroom units are great when you live alone or as a couple, but with the limited square footage that they offer, it can be quite a challenge to find a bed that fits in perfectly without making your home look cramped.

These 9 loft beds might help you to choose the right bed for your tiny apartment.

​Divan-cum-bed

Divans add a nice and cosy feel to a room, especially when paired up with colourful throw cushions. Use it for seating during the day. Move away the cushions at night to convert it into a bed, like in this beautifully designed studio.

​Platform Bed

Occasionally, lofts are designed to have the sleeping area in an attic or just below the roof. There’s not much space for anything other than a mattress for the bed. A flat wooden platform, preferably with wheels, is the perfect solution as it can be rolled out of the way for cleaning the floor.

​Wrought Iron Beauty

The open grill of a wrought-iron bed gives an airy feel to the room compared to a wooden bed. They are also stylish.

​Cornered

In a studio apartment, the living, dining, kitchen and bedroom are usually located in four different corners to separate the space visually. Getting a bed that fits perfectly in the corner with two sides against the walls is a good way to save space in the tiny area. A built-in two-sided headboard that doubles up as a side table or shelf is perfect for storing books and accessories.

​Modular Sofa-cum-bed

Upholstered sofas with foot stools are a great option for a living room as you can put your feet up and lounge while watching television. In a small apartment, these modular units are perfect for guest beds, as they can be rearranged to form a rectangle. 

Up In the Air

Since floor space is precious in a tiny apartment, a hanging bed is another clever space saving option. They come in different styles. Some are hung from the ceiling on pulleys and can be lowered at night and raised during the day to clear the passageway. Others have dual purposes, like this bookshelf bed that doubles up as seating for the reading area.

​Single Decker

Utilising the space above built-in wardrobes for a bed is another space saving idea. Pull-out drawers can double up as steps for climbing up, while linen and cushions can be stowed away in the cabinets underneath the bed.

​Pull-down

In a small apartment, multi-purpose furniture can be custom designed to make the area look less cluttered. A pull-down bed is a great option as it folds up against the wall when not in use to make space for moving around.

Cushion-Futon

A thick mattress-like futon that can be folded away when not in use and opened out when needed is an easy way to be prepared for guests. When folded up, it can be used as seating or side tables.

From modular sofas to sofa-cum-beds, you will find a lot of small bed options in furniture stores. Of course, you can also get a custom-made bed that fits perfectly into your tiny home. For more designs for small bedrooms, visit this ideabook.
