Bedrooms are safe sanctuaries where we can lounge and spend the rest of the day. They are easy to style and personalise, but when you have a limited area, it can easily look messy and full.

The usual bed frame can consume up a lot of space in your bedroom. If you have an area that is high enough, you can have a loft so the area under can be an additional space for you.

There are a lot of space-saving bed ideas, but having a loft became more popular because of its functionality. Your space below the bed can be turned into a study space, a lounge area, or just a free space, making your bedroom a hundred times more spacious.
