Beds for Small Bedrooms in Modern Townhouses

Modern townhouses make clever use of narrow plots by building upwards, which often leaves the upper floors with one generous main bedroom and one or two noticeably smaller rooms. Choosing the right bed for those compact spaces takes more thought than simply picking the smallest frame available. In this guide we look at the bed sizes that suit typical townhouse second and third bedrooms, from singles and small doubles to standard doubles, and explain how to match the bed to the way each room will be used, whether as a child's room, a guest room or a home office that occasionally hosts visitors. We cover space saving frame designs, storage beds that make up for limited built in cupboards, and ways to plan around tight landings, narrow stairs, radiators and tall windows. We also suggest how to coordinate wardrobes and drawers in these rooms, and close by answering common questions about delivery access, bed sizes and multipurpose rooms....
