For those embracing the low key living of a loft apartment or tiny house, maximizing vertical space is key. Loft bedrooms are a common and clever solution to save valuable floor space.
Today’s post is loaded with some brilliant loft bedroom ideas and designs. I hope these examples will help and inspire you to create a home that looks spacious and organized instead of cramped.
1. Guestroom Loft Suite
Okay, how charming and airy is this? This loft bedroom design is so beautiful. It features an en-suite bathroom placed at the far end of the loft, which is a super smart move for better traffic flow.
And I love the strategically placed skylight windows that provide so much light. The light wood floor and rattan accents really oomph the charm factor here.
2. Floating Stairs
Hiding the stairs right in plain sight is just genius. This floating stair idea is so sensible and clever! The stairs themselves are wide enough for most people and easy to manage.
But the best part is how the space under and behind them is still totally usable. They even extended the landing to create a wall desk. How smart is that?
3. The Hallway Bedroom
This loft bedroom design didn’t even bother putting up a wall! When you don’t have a separate bedroom, why not just put a bed in the hallway? I think it works.
The open, modern space plan goes so well with the sleek and contemporary interiors.
Plus, the exposed wire tubing, bare floors, and steel wire balustrade give the whole space a relaxed industrial vibe that I’m really into.
4. Glassed Balcony
Talk about a modern farmhouse! Even with its modern finishes, this small home has all the country charm I love.
It has a wood-topped kitchen island, a colorful rug, vintage closets, and of course, a loft bedroom! The updated look includes glass balustrades, which totally help the home feel bigger and wider.
5. Uncluttered Mezzanine
This is taking minimalism to a whole new level, and I’m a fan. The white interiors, minimal furniture, clean walls, and sleek pieces all come together to create a totally uncluttered space.
The mezzanine bedroom even has a glass balustrade that perfectly complements the whole look.
6. Custom-Built Closet
Pitched ceilings are such a common feature in loft bedrooms. While you get plenty of height in the middle, the sides can often feel like crawl spaces.
This is where custom-built closets come in to save the day! They help you maximize every single nook and cranny of the loft. A total game-changer.
7. Mezzanine with a Window
So, you need a bedroom but have no space for it? Just add a mezzanine floor! And what if the only spot is far from the windows, and you can’t stand a cooped-up room? Add a window!
This is such a smartly designed loft bedroom right in the middle of the apartment.
8. Cosmopolitan Apartment
Even a studio apartment can look this posh and sophisticated! I love that this modern apartment didn’t let its small size get in the way of style.
The loft bedroom really helps open up the floor for other “rooms.” And those classic beige walls, the chic carpet, glass balustrades, and elegant frames give the interior its totally upscale look.
9. Wood Slats Wall
This is so modern, sleek, and stylish. The vertical wood slats are a great touch because they give you plenty of privacy without totally closing off the space like a solid wall would.
I also think the vertical lines help relax the boxy feel of the interior and draw your eyes up, which creates the illusion of a much bigger space.
10. Rustic A-Frame
Cozy, charming, comfortable, and beautiful all at once. This is a room that was literally designed for luxurious comfort, deep sleep, and total relaxation.
The spacious bed, colorful carpeting, warm wood ceilings, and wide windows are just so inviting. It’s the perfect spot for rainy days, getting lost in a good book, and having a healing sleep.
11. Modern White Cottage
You can totally enhance a generic small townhouse and turn it into this charming and beautiful white home. The added mezzanine bedroom with its white wood rails and stairs brings a serious dose of cottage charm.
And I love the interesting character from the vintage hallway cabinet, the big reed basket, and the Ottoman pouf.
12. Fancy Filigree
This proves you can create fancy things without having to go big. This loft bedroom is adorned with a delicate filigree balustrade that is just so pretty.
That one fancy detail elevates what could be a regular small house into a truly delightful home.
13. Bohemian Greenhouse
You can turn a barn into this delightful loft! The high ceilings and white interiors really lighten up the space and make it look so much larger than it is.
Plus, adding potted plants brings in so much color and texture. I love the strong bohemian vibe from all the eclectic decorations, like the vintage drop lighting, colorful pictures, fairy lights, and patterned rug.
14. Sunken Bed Storage
Space efficiency is always a top priority for loft bedroom ideas. This is another really clever way to keep your loft bedroom totally uncluttered, you can just tuck the storage away in the floor!
This sunken bed design gives you so much accessible storage space without crowding the room at all.
15. Balcony Windows
These Velux Cabrio balcony windows are such a blessing for loft bedrooms. Balconies instantly open up the space, giving you amazing views and fresh air.
And the best part is the Velux Cabrio balconies can be closed down easily to keep out rain and snow. What a nifty idea!
16. Modern Grey and Glass
This modern loft apartment really increases its livable square footage with an elevated bedroom and that usable area underneath.
I love the modern steel grey accents that give an edgy look to the classic white and wood interior.
And those wide glass panel walls are key to avoiding that crowded feeling by keeping the space open and light.
17. Raised Bed Platform
Here’s another great option for a loft bedroom when your apartment doesn’t have enough vertical room to play with. Instead of building a whole separate bedroom, you just elevate the bed.
This creates the sleeping space and privacy you need, while also adding more usable floor space to the room.
18. White Mezzanine
The all-white interior here creates such a seamless feel within the space and helps bounce light around, giving it a much brighter look.
I also love the interesting details like the wire mesh balustrade, the chevron patterned wood floors, and the unique lighting that give this room so much character and a distinctive style.
19. Wood Jalousie Panels
When you need maximum coverage but also want to keep things feeling open, these wood jalousie panels are the perfect solution.
You can close the slats whenever you need privacy and then open them back up for better ventilation or when you want a view of downstairs. So versatile!
20. Attic Retreat
You can totally turn your attic into this cozy, welcoming, and dreamy bedroom. The space is so ethereal and beautiful!
The all-white interiors, with help from the wide windows, really brighten the space. Keeping the floor bare and the furnishings minimal is key here. All you need to add is a large comfy bed.
21. Bedroom and Study Combo
Do you need a study or home office but have no extra room in the house? You can renovate your bedroom to fit both!
Building a mezzanine for your sleeping area frees up so much space for your office. Absolutely brilliant!
22. Chic Elegance
Elegance is usually the last thing people think about when drawing up loft bedroom ideas. But not for this apartment! The minimal furnishing and classic pieces just embody elegance and a refined taste.
I love the bubble lighting, the minimalist walls and stairs, the large rich brown sofa, and the statement rug. It all just speaks of luxurious elegance.
23. The Half Loft
Not every apartment is going to have enough vertical space for a full mezzanine. When you’re working with a room of regular height, you can add a platform that elevates the bed just enough to create standing height.
The space underneath gives you ample storage, and the platform nicely defines the bedroom area.
24. Open Floor Planned Cottage
I am obsessed with this one-room cottage that manages to be both cozy and roomy. They’ve assigned a function to every corner but still left a lot of open space for flexibility.
The glass balustrade on the loft bedroom, the white walls, and the high ceiling all contribute to the super airy interiors.
25. Cosy Cottage Loft
Charming, quaint, and so unique! This is definitely one of my favorite loft bedroom ideas. This French cottage loft is incredibly cozy and welcoming.
I love how the romantic wrought iron rails match the warm tones of the interior. It’s like a posh home, just on a smaller scale.
26. Top Floor Suite
Your loft bedroom definitely doesn’t have to be monastic and cramped. This attic bedroom is posh, elegant, and so spacious. It even includes a sitting area, a hammock, and three chandeliers!
And that brick wall with the circular window brings in a mysterious Gregorian air that is so cool.
27. Cosy Twin Beds
You can make sharing a room both fun and convenient with this twin bed loft bedroom. It’s perfect for young kids, sleepovers, or for guests.
The white interiors and light furnishings really help widen the space, and placing the beds along the sides maximizes the standing room in the middle area. A great use of space!
28. Rustic Farmhouse
This is a modern home with so much country charm and style. The rough white brick wall, the rattan basket light shade, the wood bench, and the reed rug all convey the rustic charms of a farmhouse.
I think those wood plank headboards could be a really easy DIY project, too.
29. Vertical Metal Ladder
So sleek, modern, and space-efficient. This is perfect for homes with smaller spaces. This vertical metal ladder is durable and so eye-catching; it’s pleasantly surprising.
And I love how the black paint makes it stand out against the mostly white interiors.
30. Cool Seascape
One way to inject a cool and breezy atmosphere into a small home is by adopting a fresh seaside theme into your design. This small apartment totally rocks the grey, greens, and blues of the seaside.
The drop lighting, seascape images, paddles, a bamboo accent, and a miniature boat will transport you to the real thing.
31. Neat and Efficient
This could totally be a student’s loft or a guest bedroom. The floating shelves on the wall and the box shelves that also function as the balustrade offer so much storage, which keeps the space organized and neat.
I also like that they placed the bed at the far end to adeptly manage foot traffic.
32. Modern Industrial Loft
This looks like the home of a dynamic and urbane individual. It’s full of unconventional touches and surprises, but the home is still delightful and sensible.
The loft bedroom is isolated from the rest of the home, giving it that much-needed privacy and quiet.
33. Spiral Staircase
Spiral staircases don’t eat up as much space, but they still look elegant, which makes them perfect for small houses and loft apartments.
The black streamlined design of this spiral staircase and balustrade is so modern and complements the trendy rustic interiors of the house perfectly.
34. Skylight Window
Pitched ceilings are a common sight in attic and loft bedroom designs. Building a skylight window will totally open up the constricted space and let so much natural light in.
This rustic mountain house loft bedroom is modern, cozy, and charming with its rough stone wall, bare floors, and thick wood beams.
35. Glass Floors
This minimalist tiny house has a full second floor but has also kept its full vertical ceiling height. How did they do it? By installing a glass floor!
This way, you get to enjoy the additional floor space as well as the airy atmosphere of high ceilings. So cool.
36. Trendy Efficiency
You can definitely add some style to your loft bedroom designs. This is another really space-efficient apartment design. Don’t let the trendy and bold interiors distract you from its clever layout!
I’m talking about the well-placed stairs, the room divider that doubles as a TV stand, and the space-saving built-in sofa.
37. Netted Mezzanine
Netting the mezzanine is such a smart way to add living area to the upper floor without closing up the space. It’s also a great safety precaution if you live with small children.
And then, you also get to enjoy the hammock-like netting, which is ideal for sleeping and relaxing. A win-win!
38. White and Skylights
Adding skylights to your loft really helps open up the space and makes it appear so much larger. The white interiors light up the space, getting rid of any dark corners and that cramped look. This well-designed loft bedroom maximizes the use of available space and also made the room appear more expansive.
39. Austere Simplicity
The trick to making loft bedrooms look expansive is minimalism. Cut down on furnishings and decor. This tiny house loft bedroom does away with a bed stand, side tables, and chairs.
The floor and walls are left bare, and storage is niftily tucked to the sides and ends of the room. It’s so comfortably beautiful.
40. Bedroom Balcony
You can maximize space and natural lighting with this airy and relaxing loft bedroom. Instead of hiding it behind a wall, they installed a wire string balustrade for a modern yet romantic look.
The balcony gives you a great vantage view of downstairs and also promotes air ventilation, while the wide windows let in so much natural light.
41. Space-Efficient Loft
This small apartment is an engineering and design feat! The half-loft bed is concealed by wood slat panels, which I love.
The stairs can be pushed to the wall and hidden when they’re not in use, and the upper part of the loft is used for storage. This is the perfect space for single dwellers!
42. Privacy Curtains
The open loft bedroom is so popular for its practicality and efficient design. However, an open bedroom isn’t for everyone, especially those who need privacy.
Adding a gauzy and light curtain to the front of the bedroom totally solves that problem. You can draw it back when you want the view and light, or close it up when you need some privacy.
43. Urbane Grey
This is such a craftily-designed studio apartment that makes use of every single inch of available space and still manages to make the home look spacious.
The stairs also double as a room divider! And the loft bedroom is still very much part of the room, thanks to the metal slats and glass wall.
44. Glass Walls
Chic and luxurious. This is definitely a home for someone stylish, confident, and smart. You can make your mark with an avant-garde portrait that totally dominates the space.
The glass-walled loft bedroom allows for extra living space to create a deluxe and expansive home.
45. Tiny House Bedroom
Loft bedrooms are pretty inherent to tiny houses and are often just overhead crawl spaces with a mattress. But this tiny house bedroom uses a light wood slats divider to help create a roomy look.
And the elevated skylights and wide windows allow natural light to just flood in and extend your vision to the outdoors.
