Small bedrooms have their advantages. They discourage clutter, they’re easy to clean and they can give off a cozy feel that larger bedrooms can sometimes lack.

However, there are other times when they can feel utterly claustrophobic and impractical. If you spend most of your time in your bedroom, you could feel as if you’re sometimes living in a cell. The bed is likely to dominate the room, leaving very little space for anything else. Attempt to add in a wardrobe or a desk and you might end up with no space to stand.
