Sleeping in such a cramped space can make anyone cranky, which is why you should think about maximizing privacy. This person chose four-poster beds and draw curtains. While you can still hear what’s going on, at least you can’t see what the other person is doing.

Here’s a classic two-bed bedroom design, consisting of side-by-side twins. The only thing separating them is a small drawer with just enough space to accommodate a few decorative pieces. The jade accents on the bed, from the throw blanket to the pillow, match the olive-green walls beautifully.
Classic Bunk Beds

For those with children, maximizing bedroom space without sacrificing bed space for your kids can be quite easy. The simplest solution is to get a bunk bed, where the second mattress is elevated directly above the bottom mattress. This is a standard stacked bunk bed but without shelving. Dressers or drawers can make up for the lack of integrated storage in the bunk bed.
Beneath the Loft

Traditional bedroom lofts have a mattress on the top, freeing up floor space for study desks. This homeowner came up with an inverted design, where the beds are on the bottom of the loft and a desk is on top. While unconventional, it’s certainly a neat idea if you’d like your children to study with a view!

Two twin beds fit cozily inside this small bedroom. Near their upholstered headboards, which grant a bit of privacy to each user, is a shared, dark wooden nightstand with a few trinkets for decoration. The homeowner cleverly uses arched wall lamps that provide ample lighting without taking up the surface of the nightstand.
Iron Frames

This charming bedroom is designed similarly to the previous one. The main difference is the bed frames, which are black with thin spindles on the head and feet sides. One benefit of these bed frames is their elevation allows storage space underneath. A few baskets, boxes, or drawers below the beds would be perfect for storing books and seasonal apparel.
A Pattern Like No Other

The first thing that stands out of this small bedroom is the highly decorative wallpaper. The green patterns add an energetic vibe to the room, and the throw blankets on the beds match the walls perfectly. Sconces just above the pillows provide individual lights to each bed occupant, but the shared lamp on the nightstand will keep the entire room lit up.
Twin Beds, Tailored Together

If you have the nightstand space to spare, adding personal lights for each bed can be a good idea. The lamps are always within arm’s reach from the bed. The wide window in the backdrop ensures that both beds receive equal amounts of light at the same hours of the day. Additionally, the carpet follows the same aqua-marine tone of the bed frame, creating a cohesive, cozy feel.
Plaid Perfection

This compact bedroom has two metal bed frames, which are separated by a slender lamp sat atop a stool, which doubles as a nightstand. This layout maximizes floor space by pushing miniature furniture pieces against the wall. Only one of the beds has a window directly above it. The other has a beautiful work of art.
Gentle Order

Inside this charming small bedroom, we see twin mattresses on top of identical bed frames, which are darker in color and contrast heavily with the surrounding brightness. Apart from a wooden nightstand, a mirror on the wall separates the beds from slightly above each headboard. At the end the beds are ottomans that provide a bit of storage space, but they can also be used as seats or small desks for studying.
Symmetrical Sleep

Vertical is the name of the game in this bedroom. The bed frame and headboards have red and white vertical stripes, which can help create an illusion of high ceilings. Both a window and a tabletop lamp provide adequate brightness to the room. Here, the designer added wicker baskets at the end of each bed, either for storing toys or dirty laundry.
Canopy Beds

The concept used to design this small bedroom with two beds is quite unique. Above the beds are canopies that give a slightly elegant feel to the room. The shared nightstand separating the beds has a small shelf for books, but if that’s not enough storage space, there’s plenty of room beneath the bed frames.
Matching Wood

This bedroom has much less floor space compared to the ones shown above. As such, the designer had to make the most out of what little room they had. They cleverly maximize floor space by eliminating a nightstand from the equation. The wooden bed frame suits the wooden floors beautifully, both of which are highly ornate and suit the elegance of the room well.
Coordinated Fun

Whoever stays in this room must have an incredible childhood. This bedroom is designed with fun and cheerfulness in mind, evidenced by the bright colors of the wall and headboard, as well as the geometric carpet patterns. Abstract works of art hang on the walls beside each bed, which may be a shout out to the preferences of each bed’s occupant.
A Pretty Pair

Intricate wallpaper can be a huge benefit in small bedrooms, such as this one. It can help create an illusion of depth, making the room seem larger than it really is. As for the beds, they’re nothing short of cute, with blue headboards and pink throw blankets. Sconces help keep things bright at night without disturbing the other person.
Vertical Stripes

Blue and white are a match made in heaven, and this homeowner definitely didn’t hold back when employing these hues. The vertical pattern makes it look like the ceiling is higher than it is. The beds follow the same blue-and-white stripe pattern, as does the couch, which is a nice touch. With the blue flower on the nightstand, a lamp is out of the question, so sconces keep the room lit up.
A Slice of Heaven

There’s a level of roundedness in this bedroom that gives it a happy feel. Of course, the hot-pink against a white backdrop is one of the more prominent features, and let’s not forget about the fuzzy chenille area rug at the foot of each bed frame! If there were girls’ bedroom goals, this is it!
Farmhouse Fun

Though limited in space, there’s a lot to love about this small bedroom. A colorful rug protects the hardwood floors, but more importantly, the color of the walls was chosen because of the patterns on the carpet. The nightstand and drawer clash well against the overall brightness of the olive-green theme going on.

There’s certainly a sports theme going on in this bedroom. The antique tennis rackets hanging on the wall match the wooden bed frames. Individual sconces keep the beds lit up separately when the lamp is off. On the carpet, we see abstract patterns that make the floors appear more spacious.

Transforming an Attic

An attic makes for the perfect bedroom for children. This homeowner gave the angled ceiling a personalized touch by adding patterned wallpaper that extends the entirety of the ceiling. Something worth paying attention to is how the beds are separated not by a nightstand but a window nook.
