5 ideas for a small children's bedroom
Fitting out a small children's bedroom can be a real headache. Between toys, clothes and furniture, there always seems to be a shortage of space. But with a bit of ingenuity and a few tricks up your sleeve, you can turn even the smallest bedroom into a functional and enjoyable space. Here are five ideas for making the most of space in a small children's bedroom.
Go for a mezzanine bed (from age 6)
A mezzanine bed is an excellent solution for small bedrooms. By raising the bed, you free up a large part of the floor space, allowing you to create a multifunctional area underneath. This space can be used as an office, play area or storage area.
Layout under the loft bed
- Built-in desk: Install a desk under the bed to create a work area. Add shelves to store books and school supplies.
- Play area: Create a play area with comfortable rugs and toy bins.
- Storage: Use shelves and cupboards to maximise storage space. Boxes and baskets can help keep toys and clothes organised.
Safety and accessibility
Make sure the loft bed meets safety standards, with protective barriers to prevent falls, for example. Access must be easy for the child: avoid straight ladders (forbidden by safety standards), prefer a ladder with a standard degree of inclination.

Modular storage cubes
Versatile storage cubes
Storage cubes are incredibly versatile and can be used in many different ways in a child's bedroom. They're perfect for organising toys, books, clothes and much more.
Ideas for using storage cubes
- Bookcase: Stack several cubes to create a modular bookcase.
- Toy storage: Use cubes to store toys. Choose cubes with drawers or bins for easy organisation.
- Functional staircase: Use our cube staircase to give your child access to the mezzanine for playing or sleeping.
Aesthetics and customisation
Storage cubes are available in a variety of colours and sizes, making them easy to adapt to your bedroom décor. You can even personalise them with stickers or paint for a unique look.

Bunk beds
Optimising space with bunk beds
- Save space in height: whether you opt for a 2, 3 or 4-seater bunk bed, vertical space is optimised because the beds sleep on top of each other.
- Extra storage space: choose bunk beds with built-in drawers or shelves to maximise storage space.
Flexibility of bunk beds
Bunk beds are ideal for shared bedrooms or for families who have frequent guests. Our DUO detachable model offers even greater flexibility, allowing the beds to be split into two single beds if required.
Safety and comfort
Make sure the bunk beds are sturdy and secure, with protective rails for the top bunk. Access should be easy for the child, with a ladder or stable steps.

A trundle bed for entertaining friends
Practicality of the trundle bed
The trundle bed is a practical solution for small bedrooms. It consists of two beds, one stored under the other. When you need an extra bed, simply pull out the second bed.
Advantages of a trundle bed
- Space-saving: When the second bed is not in use, it stows discreetly under the main bed, freeing up floor space.
- Flexibility: The trundle bed is ideal for accommodating friends for an overnight stay without cluttering up the bedroom.
Choice and design
Trundle beds are available in a variety of styles and materials, making them easy to adapt to your bedroom décor. Some models include extra storage drawers to maximise space even further.

Why a bed with storage drawers?
A bed with built-in storage drawers is an ideal solution for maximising space in a small children's bedroom. The drawers provide extra space for storing clothes, toys and other items.
Advantages of storage drawers
- Extra storage space: Under-bed drawers make it easy to store items that would otherwise be scattered around the room.
- Organisation: Drawers help keep the bedroom neat and tidy. They're perfect for clothes, toys, books and more.
Aesthetics and functionality
Choose a bed with drawers that match the rest of the bedroom furniture. Drawers should be easy to open and close so that children can access their belongings easily.
