49 Small Master Bedroom Ideas

1. Rustic Blue

This room is beautiful and perfect for the little part of you that loves rooms with an old-but-not-outdated feel.

With a gorgeous choice of wallpaper, a perfect combination of colors, and old, reused, or refurbished furniture, this room is perfect for anyone, especially if you love thrifting as much as we do.

But don’t feel limited by the blue-and-white theme! This theme would look just as nice with yellows, pinks, and even grays!

2. Hotel Chic

Ever look at a hotel room and think that you would love that luxury, service-with-a-smile feel? This room embodies that and more with a lovely minimalist style.

3. The Tall-Hearted Minimalist

Love the look of clean and tidy? Maybe a white, minimalist bedroom is what you’re looking for. This room may be small, but it sure looks a lot bigger.

The curtains over the door and the tall wardrobe make the room feel much bigger than it actually is, and you’d be amazed at how easy it is to recreate.

You can also add mirrors to the walls! But don’t be afraid to add a splash of color, as seen above, because total white-out may not be for everyone.

4. The Enlarged Dorm

This room hasn’t quite moved out of its college years and still utilizes the simplicity and functionality of a college dorm room—just with a little bit of extra space.

The mirror amplifies this effect by reflecting more light and giving the illusion of a larger area.

5. Pretty in Vintage Pink

If you want your bedroom to feel full of vintage wonders and secrets, this style might be for you.

The key element is the old wardrobe, which has a lock reminiscent of those in movies and hides magical things. The woven chair adds a rustic, handmade touch.

The color theme of beautiful pinks and grays is perfect for lovers of soft hues. If pink isn’t your style, consider yellow and gray, white and gray, or green and gray for a fantastic color scheme.

6. The Autumn Tone

Can’t get enough of fall? Neither can we. Incorporating earthy tones into your bedroom can be challenging, but this example does it beautifully.

The room evokes a Japanese hotel with its cherry blossom design on the blinds.

The uniform wood tones, browns, grays, and minimal black create a stunning color scheme that will make you fall in love with the space, even if you don’t usually prefer the minimalist style.

7. The Business Side of Things

This sleek bedroom is perfect for the busy professional. The all-white color scheme, from walls to furniture and bedding, creates a bright, cohesive look that makes the room feel spacious.

Minimalistic design reduces visual clutter, enhancing openness.

Natural light flooding through the door highlights the airy feel, making the room look even larger. This setup is functional and sophisticated, ideal for a tranquil retreat after a busy day.

8. Warm and Clean

The key to this room isn’t the white, as it may be in others, but the lighting. A mixture of bright whites and warm yellow undertones gives this room the contrast it needs to feel clean and warm.

The light wood mixed with white and gray match the lights perfectly, and if you’re looking for comfort that’s a bit closer to the minimalist rooms you see elsewhere, this style may be a good idea.

9. The Functional Space

It’s amazing how much you can fit into a small room without it looking messy. This space manages to include a vanity, a desk, and a television!

Naturally, because of the size of these items, the bed size is compromised. However, this setup shows that you can have all the functionality of an office and a bedroom if you’re willing to sacrifice a king-sized bed.

10. The Land-Lover

The warm, honey-toned wood furniture creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere, complemented by the lush greenery that brings a touch of the outdoors inside.

This space effortlessly combines functionality and aesthetics, making it a tranquil retreat for anyone who loves a natural, rustic style.

11. The Reflective Retreat

This modern bedroom, bathed in natural light, is perfect for those who don’t want to search for a mirror in the morning.

The monochromatic color scheme, featuring shades of gray and black, adds a sophisticated touch, while the large windows provide a stunning view and plenty of daylight.

12. The Expensive Student

This room is a perfect inspiration for those with small masters and tall walls. To keep the room from feeling too empty, optimize this space with longer ceiling lights and larger decorations.

13. Bed-Focused

If your room is a bit too small for excess decoration or furniture, make sure your bed is the perfect space-filler and make it functional. Observe the drawers built into the bed above.

14. The Tri-Color Wood-Lover

Putting the bed in the middle of the room can be risky, but if your master is longer than it is wide like this one, you can use it to your benefit without everything feeling overcrowded.

15. The Mix-Match

You may think you can’t have the black-and-white color scheme you want when your master is overrun with wood tones, but that’s definitely not true.

Observe the gorgeous coordination of the grayscale bed surrounded by an evenly-toned wood.

16. The Fashionista

If you chose your master for the closet and not the spaciousness, the photo above can totally relate. Notice how well this photo maximizes space using smaller hanging lights and a thin mirror.

17. Color-Cozy

Take inspiration from this room to integrate throw pillows into your white-based room. Notice how the hydrangeas offer a subtle hint of color and how some off-set tones of beige and gray add a softness to the overall tone.

18. The Homey Professional

This room combines the ever-so-beloved grayscale with perfect pops of greenery in clear vases. Notice how furniture and decor are placed in relation to having three doors taking up space in the room.

19. The Night-Time Cuddler

This room has the perfect move-night-in vibe. With tones of beige and brown, dimmer lighting, and the television in perfect view of the bed, it’s perfect for a nice Saturday in with some popcorn.

20. The Organized Student

Perfect for the student who needs to keep their bedroom as clean and organized as their headspace. The stool at the desk slides underneath it, allowing it to be neatly tucked away after use—a definite must-have.

21. The Skyline Literate

This room is perfect for those who love reading in bed. With perfect lighting and movable lights right above the bed, any late-night bookworm is sure to love it.

Also take notice of how the nightstand is dual-purposed, acting as both a bedside table and a bookcase.

22. The Lovable Single

If you’ve only got the room for a single bed and a desk and love the clean white and gray theme, this room is right up your alley.

This room makes the most of the wall space and has storage all the way up to the ceiling, preventing the need for excess furniture that would clutter the room.

23. The Dark Horse

If late nights and darkness are your aesthetic, this room should totally inspire you. Notice how much texture the sequin pillow adds to the otherwise flat room.

24. Gray and Wooly

This room radiates a warm city vibe, perfect for those who love their bedspreads but might work a bit too hard to fully enjoy them.

It’s also an ideal setup for those who can’t wake up without sunlight streaming in through the windows in the morning.

25. Clean and Fuzzy

This room has a very modern cabin vibe. Wood tones, built-in lighting, and an overall clean build make it perfect for those who love luxury.

Also, take notice of the thick, furry carpet, which adds another splash of campfire warmth to the room.

26. The Funky City-Lover

For the more adventurous decorator, yellows and Blues can be a bit scary to get into, but this room offers a perfect example of how well these colors can fit together.

Another great addition is the bed frame, which is reminiscent of a pull-out bed without all of the discomforts of a pull-out bed.

27. The Crescent Moon

For those of you with a room like this one that’s shaped a bit like a flattened crescent moon and have no idea how to handle it. Notice where the furniture is placed and how the angle of the bed offers a bit of privacy.

28. The Date Night Sleeper

If you like your master bedroom to be the center of more intimate gatherings, this is the inspiration for you. Notice how half of the counter space is used to keep drink glasses as part of a minibar.

29. The Bright-Light White

This is perfect for those who prefer hyper-modern, tech-savvy bedrooms. The furniture takes up minimal space, yet the room remains fully functional with built-in dressers and a dedicated space for a television.

30. Rich on a Budget

Here’s another bed-centric room with the lovely addition of a comfy window seat. Also, notice how the yellow bedspread draws even more attention to the bed.

31. The Short and Sweet

Once more, we observe a room that downsizes the bed to maximize the room’s overall space. In this case, all furniture is moved to one side of the wall, which can either be very risky or very beneficial.

32. Messy in Yellow

The daring color combo here is very interesting. Take notice of the unique wallpaper choice matched to the bedspread and how the plants add an oddly satisfying pop of green.

33. The Teenager At Heart

This example definitely has the dream teenage bedroom vibe. Muted gray tones with pops of bright color and a beautifully spread-out and organized closet.

34. The Fashion Life-Stylist

The perfect inspiration for the designers of the decorating world. You can make your passion the center focus of your room without everything looking anything but fashionably messy.

35. The Morning Bird

For those of you who like to roll out of bed and get straight to work, this is the bedroom set up for you. You can have everything you need first thing without the hassle of searching and stumbling around.

Also, the rotating wall light is a useful addition that does not diminish the room’s beauty.

36. Grandma’s House

Here, we have another room with an oddly-shaped roofing situation. This room goes less for a modern or functional vibe and was definitely built for comfort. Warm, comfy, just like grandma’s house.

37. Simple Ombre

Notice how the mirror makes this room seem just a bit spacier than it actually is.

The bedspread here is the shining star. This is here to remind you that not everything has to match perfectly for it to be a beautiful combination.

Also, take note of the black wardrobe doors, which also work to make the room seem bigger.

38. The Pattern-Lover

This is the room for those who love modern decor with a hint of pattern galore but don’t want it to be the centerpiece of the room.

39. The Princess

For those who love to feel like a pampered princess, this room is a dream come true. The soft cream and gold tones create a luxurious and serene atmosphere.

The vintage-inspired furniture, with its elegant detailing and tufted headboard, adds a touch of timeless elegance.

The chandelier and classic bedside lamps enhance the opulent feel, making this space perfect for anyone who wants to indulge in royal comfort.

40. The Golden Room

Here, we have another that is reminiscent of a hotel room but utilizes much deeper, richer colors and a beautiful mirror set-up. Notice the light and deep golds in the sheets and wallpaper and how the brown accentuates them.

41. The Sharp Room

Another way to place the bed in the center of the room while maintaining functionality and preventing it from feeling too cramped.

An interesting note about this room is how the sheets are black rather than white, making the bed contrast in a gorgeous way.

42. The Raised Status

This room utilizes rugs to create the impression of the bed being raised up without it being raised at all. Also, take note of the beautiful petaled chandeliers hanging in the center of the room.

43. The Quiet Single

For those who make their bed every morning but like it simple, here is a room for a simple lifestyle.

44. Dotted in Blue

For taller individuals, this room is ideal with its elongated bed that perfectly utilizes the long, narrow space.

The matching pillows and bedspread feature a cohesive pattern, while the rest of the room remains versatile, allowing for a pulled-together look without needing to match precisely.

45. Techy-Spaced Minimalist

This room embraces a techy-spaced minimalist design, utilizing solid shapes and clean lines to create a uniform, modern look.

The sleek furniture, neutral color palette, and strategic use of space contribute to a clutter-free and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and contemporary style.

46. The Cubed Romantic

This room exemplifies the artful use of patterns as a cohesive theme—notice the curtains, bedspread, picture frames, and chandelier. The design achieves a harmonious look without appearing tacky or overdone.

47. Royal in Purple

Though purple doesn’t have to be your color of choice, as mentioned before, white goes great with a pop of color. In addition, the patterns you see throughout the room are subtle but definitely stylish.

48. The Cozy Attic Retreat

Making the most of your space can be a delightful challenge. This cozy attic retreat shows how to beautifully adapt to an awkwardly slanted roof.

The clever use of soft colors and smart furnishings creates a welcoming and functional space. Just remember to watch your head!

49. The Child at Heart Hidey-Place

This is another example of a room that may be slightly awkwardly shaped. Here, we have a completely divided room, and if you have a room similar to this, we suggest you pay special attention to the distribution of functionality.
