The bedroom often takes up most of the space. Various creative solutions are continuously sought to overcome the problem of space area while still comfort and privacy. Provide space for your bed. Find the most appropriate position with lighting, ventilation, and easy access. Take advantage of other areas for work areas, kitchens, cabinets, even a small library.

Murphy bed, a bed that can be raised and lowered if needed, is the most useful innovation for interior design in small spaces. High-tech dynamic solutions equipped with murphy beds can free up a lot of space, especially for narrow modern urban homes. An apartment with 36 m2 can be ‘transformed’ into a super complete apartment that accommodates all the basic needs of a livable house. Bedroom, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and family room or living room.

A murphy bed can raised and stored in a wall cabinet when not in use. The wall in front of the bed slides closed to close the murphy bed cabinet. By this way, a sizable living room is created, equipped with a TV that can be rotated.

The bed can not only placed on top, or on the side like a murphy bed. The bed can shifted in and out of the floor, which is another smart solution. When ready to use, pull the bed out from under the kitchen floor. It only needs space of a bed.
When the bed area not in use, the top of the kitchen wall ‘fence’ can be used as a dining table. One of the advantages of a loft type apartment is getting good lighting access. Take advantage of windows that resemble ‘skylights’ as a source of natural light and view. Apply white to reflect light and make the space wider and healthier.

The inspirational designs above have been realized and are proof of imagination and creations that not limited by the space. So, don’t feel discouraged if you only have a tiny apartment.
