From additional storage space to optimized circulation, discover how planned joinery is an ally in small spaces

When it comes to bedrooms, creativity and careful planning of every centimeter are essential to obtain a welcoming and functional place. This is the starting point defended by Karina Alonsoarchitect and managing partner of SCA Jardim Europe.

Check out 5 good ideas for planned carpentry for small rooms with example projects:

1. Sliding doors

In this loft of just 42 m², architect Pati Cillo invested in sliding doors to close the wardrobe behind the bed. It has three sheets of glass, which receive the same finish as the cabinet case, while also focusing on monochrome, all executed by SCA Jardim Europa.

With a sliding door it is possible “save” the area that should be free to open a traditional door. Furthermore, this model brings, in addition to functionality, a touch of clean elegance.

2. Storage

Aligned with the bed, the long wardrobe created by SCA Jardim Europa replaced a bedside table and optimized the space of the room. This studio apartment of just 25 m² was designed by architect Danielle Otsuka, of Lilutz Arquitetura.

The bed rail must not be limited to inserting the bedside table. One cabinet it can be a functional and practical complement for small environments, helping to maximize the use of available vertical space.

3. Coffee tables

In the bedroom designed by Pati Cillo, SCA Jardim Europa created a bedside table that also serves as a bed for the schnauzer Shakira.

An essential piece of furniture for placing a lamp, a book or even a mobile phone, the bedside table is more than necessary in bedroom furnishings.

In this environment, designed by Cipriano Paffi, the bedside table is suspended from the ground.

In a couple’s environment, to save space, it is possible to work with the furniture inserted just one side of the bed or order a custom-made multifunctional table, which can also be used as a dog kennel. Or even opt for an alternative suspended from the floorwhich frees up a few centimeters of circulation.

4. Handles

Using the mix of slatted wood, padded headboard and floating bedside tables (all made by SCA Jardim Europa), architect Fernando Mota has managed to create a compact and extremely relaxing double bedroom. In front of the bed he used full-height furniture to optimize the space, as well as creating a niche to place the TV.

Cabinets without replacement handles are extremely practical and advantageous choices for small rooms. Along with the bold design, this alternative prevents potential accidents due to impacts which can be frequent with reduced circulation. Among the most common options are hollow handle, set in woodand systems touch closureamong others.

5. Mirrors

It is nothing new that mirrors are great allies that promote illusion of more available space, also improving natural lighting, as they diffuse the light, making the compact bedroom much more pleasant. It is possible to insert them into the furniture itself, such as wardrobes with mirrored doors.
