Beds for bedrooms with low ceilings

The low loft bed is a perfect option for a bedroom with a low sloped ceiling. Maintaining a modern, sleek design, this luxury handmade wooden bed is guaranteed to make the most of the space available in your low ceiling bedroom. Its small frame enables it to work excellently in space-restricted areas, bringing a touch of tradition and culture and delivering that spacious feeling within your bedroom.

Low Tokyo Bed

The minimalist design of the Low Tokyo opens up any bedroom, and its stylish, contemporary design has become very popular. It’s an excellent accompaniment to a low ceiling bedroom and is ideal for anyone wanting their bed to be the centrepiece of the room.

Low Platform Bed

The distinct minimalist feel to this bed frame, takes inspiration from the traditional Japanese sleeping style, near floor sleeping. If you are looking to bring a tad of culture to your bedroom and make your low ceiling bedroom appear all the more spacious, the low platform bed is the ideal solution.

Space Saver Bed

spave saver beds are another excellent choice for a low ceiling bedroom. They differ from the usual standard height beds as they take up remarkably less floor space, which gives the mattress itself a unique floating effect. It saves vital room, as no legs sit at the foot of the bed, meaning they’re a lot less beneficial to your toes.

Low Oriental Bed

Known best for its contemporary distinctive style, the low oriental bed is designed with clean lines and a very minimalistic feel, making it ideal for any low ceiling bedrooms. Incorporating a small headboard, the Low Oriental bed still offer head support whilst maintaining its low appearance.

Paint the ceiling a light colour

Painting your ceilings the same colour as your walls is a good idea if they are quite low. This permits the use of walls that are white or cream and a ceiling that is much paler. Consider installing tall windows in the room you wish to design because they will make the space appear more expansive when painted in this manner.

Hang large mirrors on the walls

Mirrors reflect light, making small spaces appear brighter and bigger. Making an impact on visitors as soon as they enter the space, hanging a tall mirror at the door is extremely effective décor tip. To give the impression that there are more windows than there actually are, you might want to hang a few little ones on the walls.
