Experiment Six: Less Bedroom Space

I love small spaces. They seem cozy to me. In small spaces you have what you need (and what you love) and you really can't fit more. Seems perfect. Because the space seems complete, I'm not tempted to over decorate or add more furniture. The simplicity of small spaces speaks to me.

A Smaller Master Bedroom


My husband and I decided to start painting the wood trim in our master bedroom. To make things easy, we decided to move our bed and clothes to the spare bedroom while we spend the next few weeks painting.

Our master bedroom is about 168 square feet in size (12x14). There is a small walk-in closet and an attached small bathroom.

The spare bedroom is about 110 square feet in size (10x11). There is a small regular closet and that's it. Our clothes fit the closet space perfectly and our queen size bed fills the room. We have our night stand and my husband's guitar and some hooks over the door to hang clothes that we plan on wearing again. It's cozy and complete. It's simple and fits everything we need and love. 

This little experiment of moving our bedroom to a room with 58 less square feet is refreshing. We are continuing to find that we are comfortable with less space - this is great since we are hoping to move into a smaller home some day. A smaller home that is simple and beautiful, that has everything we need and love and not more.
