I need a king-sized bed because my husband sleeps like a madman. But I found extra narrow side tables to use. Amazingly, it looks balanced. Lamps with a port for charging phones are fantastic, one less wire looking for an outlet.

[@reynardlowell]

I saw some nice lamps with wireless charging at IKEA as well, definitely a good idea to minimise clutter.

[@tea.chi3]

I agree, my partner and I have a smallish bedroom 12 x11 but we knew we needed a king size bed as we had 4 small dogs that slept with us. So I opted to not have any dressers or chairs in the room. Instead we focused on the bed and 2 small nightstands. Putting our clothing in closets instead. It works well for us.

[@ambershouse]

you’re amazing, im definitely putting up shelves as nightstands today!! your videos are insanely helpful :D

[@Guppy_Girl]

This video has the gears in my head spinning with ideas! So many great strategies. I've watched this four times now.

[@ficstokiohotel9939]

I live in an apartment and your tips are really great for such a small space. Thank you very much for your help. Greetings from Chile (South America) 🤩

[@stamppppp]

I agreed that mirrors help expand the feeling of the room.. but trust me they should not be at the front of the bed lol

[@lauriep3334]

Thank you for this helpful information on small bedrooms. I’m inspired by your videos. I’m in the process of downsizing my small, one bedroom rental apartment. I hope you will do more videos on small spaces, and how to create cohesiveness between my small kitchen, small family room and very small bathroom. I especially would like additional tips on creating special small apartment areas on a budget. Thank you for sharing your design ideas.

[@queldar27]

I recommend Alexandra Gater's videos. She does alot of small apartment renos and renter-friendly too!

[@lauriep3334]

Thank you I’ll check that out. I appreciate your time.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

When we first moved into our house, the main bedroom was school bus yellow. Ghastly! I got a headache whenever I was in the room. I chose Benjamin Moore’s Hidden Sanctuary (1375) as the wall colour, and Peace & Happiness (1380) for the ceiling. A soft white trim created a nice separation.

[@sarahengland1843]

Thanks for the tips! I live next to a busy road and I am afraid that putting a mirror opposite the window will reflect the sound rather than having the wall absorb it. I'm wondering where would be the best place to put the mirror.... Probably for noise control the mirror should be on the same wall as the window but aesthetically this doesn't really work. Tricky.

[@oliveoil2x]

Really great line up - tips explained & adapted to real life. Thank you!

[@joannestimson9641]

Love your full length wrap around curtains!

[@BP-nn7tq]

I needed this video, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@BrownSukali]

Amazing tips, Reynard! Thank you

[@anastasia-fr1gn]

Not me being here at 11:00pm deciding to rearrange my room lmao

[@driandelacruz2392]

Got a lot of ideas for my small bedroom. Love this video, so informative. Just subscribed for more

[@humbertovera2560]

Great video 👍🏼

[@cherizeaustin0816]

Ty for the helpful ideas esp like clothes rack on my dresser brilliant ! I will probably put a piece of wood on top an secure the rack somehow

[@dirtyandnasty9011]

I found Tatamis+futon make a perfect bed for small rooms, they don't look like something you can't step on and that makes a huge difference in the feel of the room. That is also very elegant.

[@SIC647]

My bedroom is 2,03 m x 4 m. The door is at one of the short walls. I have a 140 x 200 cm bed. The bed is placed across the room, so there is just 3 cm of space at the end. That gives me the most space in the bedroom, so there is also space for a wardrobe and a desk (which is necessary to work from home). I don't hate the setup, but I also don't love it. And I don't know what I could do better.

[@joannazaras8144]

I also have a very small multi-functional bedroom. I have a murphy bed that I close when I work. Behind the head there is a small bedside table. There is an LED strip above the bed that I turn on in the evening instead of a bedside lamp. I keep things on shelves in seagrass baskets, so there is no mess. I also have a treadmill under my desk. At the front of the bed by the door is a prayer area, with paintings hanging on the wall and a small electric fireplace next to it. Unfortunately, I couldn't place the desk in the living room because the light was falling on the screen. I would have to cover all the windows.

[@bhavikjain361]

Have a 10×12 bedroom with cealing height 9.25 ft ... want to opt for a floor to ceiling wardrobe ... but confused if It will look bulky for such small room Your content is wonderful and helpfully, keep up the good work 🙂

[@dianaortega8799]

Thank you for all this information!!

[@mrsecret4567]

Whixh shower drain looks good in washroom ? Tile fitted or normal one ? As tile fitted is very expensive in our area as compared to normal old style water drainage? Should we go with normal old one or with tile fitted design?

[@ruskr85]

Can you suggest some furniture brands (except Ikea) which can be shipped to India? Really liked the bed frames suggested in this video.

[@johannayusoph5820]

can you make a video on tips for shared room for two person

[@rjpickle1]

Where do you get the stackable boxes from ?

[@cadenjester893]

Where is the headboard from 5:00 from?

[@riccardozecchin9220]

I love your tips but you should consider feng shui 😅

[@austinholloway7021]

His ideas do include it without necessarily saying it

[@williamdavies1977]

great content, audio has a light echo; consider a shotgun mic, or lav or sound treat the room;

[@brahmanvipul]

Hi

[@FrankdTank-oh4ji]

Hey Reynard, just want to say I love all your tips and videos. But, just a suggestion: could you changed your background, please? Because of your voice and add the background, I almost feel like I'm watching something to help fall asleep.

[@cherizeaustin0816]

My issue in the bedroom I’m living in is no electrical outlets only 2 plugs

[@reynardlowell]

Yeah that can be annoying. What about extension cables and 4/6 way outlets/powerboard? Then you can put them inside a cable box to keep it neat (and hide them on the edge of the bed, or behind a nightstand).

[@beverley7799]

Did you say sleeping along side a pet?

[@slooom83ss]

everything in the video is great but try not to move your head left and right a lot,, it's kinda annoying.

[@Rob-yu1lw]

Really????????? We'll wait for your video so we can trash you

[@lillili77]

That's your problem not his.

[@agatajabonska8560]

And you, try not to be a dickhead. Could be tricky 'cause it seems ingrained in your brain, but just give it a try.

[@kms50138]

Disagree
