If you are a loft owner, you’ve probably thought about how to decorate your loft bedroom more than once. The struggle is real: most loft apartments have a tiny bedroom space -which is likely oddly shaped as well.
You might feel like nothing is going to work out because of the inconvenience of the upstairs space. But in reality, transforming it into your cozy hideaway is much easier than you would’ve taught!
This post will help you embark on your new loft apartment bedroom transforming journey by giving you 11 excellent ideas for a headstart!
What do I do with the space by the handrails?
If you had to rank the most inconvenient spaces in your loft apartment, you’d probably mention that awkward, unused space by the handrails.
But if you give it a thought, it isn’t so horrible, right?
1. Create your desk setup
The first thing you could do with it, is to create your home office setup there! You could also use any other space in your loft, like the corner next to the stairs. But you’re definitely better off using the upstairs for this purpose, since you can place bigger pieces of furniture downstairs (and that is way more practical).
So if you don’t have much space to work with, place your home office equipment by the handrails.
It comes with another advantage: you can admire the city through the big windows while doing your work. So definitely try this tip out!
2. Get a dresser
If you really want to utilize your space, consider getting a few low dressers along the handrails. This will not only look incredible and more stylish than those bare handrails, BUT you’ll also be provided with plenty of organizational possibilities.
Hanging chairs or hammock chairs for that cozy hideaway
Swinging or hammock chairs are such a fun decorating idea! You’ll NEED to get one to make you feel super at home in your loft!
If you’re looking for ways to make your loft apartment bedroom your dream hideaway, you should definitely consider getting either one!
If you can, try to get a hammock chair that you can apply directly onto the ceiling. But if you’re a loft renter, you’ll be better off with a swinging chair on a stand. This way, you won’t have to ask your landlord for permission to apply hooks onto the ceiling, but you’ll still be able to enjoy the benefits a swinging chair can provide.
This tip is probably going to be useful for those who don’t have many opportunities to go out, or simply wouldn’t like to. Imagine sinking into the pillows after an exhausting day and just enjoying the view from upstairs!

Hanging clothes rack in the corner
Make use of that huge ceiling height while maximizing your space: purchasing a hanging clothes rack is one of the most useful loft apartment bedroom ideas here!
Someone who is really short on space will appreciate its great functionality. So if you don’t have the opportunity to get a built-in wardrobe or a full size wardrobe either because of the lack of space or resources, this is going to save you!
First, get your hands on a not-too-tall chest of drawers! Here you should put your neatly folded jeans and underwear. Accessorize the surface with printables, candles and plants. And for functionality, place a nice armchair beside the dresser, so you have a place to sit when getting ready.
When you’re aesthetically pleased with the outcome, apply your clothing rack. This can either be a wall-mounted rack, or a hanging one.
If you’re going for that industrial style, you should definitely get a wall-mounted clothing rack. It looks so much more cohesive with this specific style.

King sized bed with headboard storage
A loft bedroom can easily host a king-sized bed. If your loft apartment bedroom is super small, you might not feel the need for such a huge furniture, but never worry about the lack of storage. Nowadays everything includes storage possibilities in some sort of way, and so do headboards!
IKEA and Amazon have such a wide range of these headboards with storage compartments and shelves. Click here and check them out!
You can put away here your everyday bedtime neccessities (glasses, retainers etc.) or your clutter that you couldn’t store anywhere else. They cannot fit bigger objects of course, but if you keep your loft clean, you won’t be faced with this problem anyway.
Don’t know how to keep your loft clean? This guide includes some great tips for you!
Bean bags are still cool!
A bean bag is not necessary for your loft apartment bedroom decor, but it definitely elevates its vibe! Your inner child will thank you for it later.
Place it in an empty corner, and you won’t have to do anything else to it. You can place a few decorative pillows on top, but since it’s merely used for its functionality, you’re very limited when it comes to decorating it.
Small fluffy rugs
One of the most underrated loft apartment bedroom ideas is getting the right type of rug for your lofted space! In this case, the perfect fit would be a small, fluffy rug.
Why small fluffy rugs, you might ask. Because since the upstairs space looks already quite narrow, a bigger rug is going to narrow it down even more!
Don’t choose anything much bigger than your bed, and if you do, NEVER go with a square-shaped rug!
Smaller, rounder rugs are much better for such easy-to-clutter spaces, since they make the eyes focus on the details rather than the whole picture. Which would very much be ruined by a huge carpet!
And why fluffy? Again, it’s due to the soothing effect it creates by making the sharp edges of your loft bedroom seem rounder.
Poufs with storage are game-changers
Another way to make sure your belongings can be stored properly is to get a pouf with storage! Not only are they super cute, their hidden storage possibilities make them practical as well.
Place them right in front of your bed, that way you’ll also have something to sit on when getting ready for bed.

Bedside shelves for extra storage
When even a headboard storage isn’t enough come bedside shelves into play. Amazon has quite a lot to offer in every size and style, so you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for.
Just pop these onto the sides of your bed and place your items in there. Once you start getting ready for your nighttime routine, hook them off and place them under the bed. So easy yet so practical!
Interested in getting one? Take a look around Amazon.
Faux fur saucer chairs for the lovers of practicality
Here’s one of the coziest loft apartment bedroom ideas out there: if you’d love to wind down after a long day, definitely get a faux fur saucer chair!. Most of them are travel-friendly, meaning you can easily fold them when you no longer need them.
Which is pretty cool for someone who wants to minimize their space usage. Just place the folded chair under the bed, and it’s not going to bother you for as long as you’d like.
Hammock floor for that fun factor
Who wouldn’t LOVE some fun in their home? And when it comes to loft apartment bedroom decor, nets can provide the ultimate fun factor!
You can get these suspended nets built in, but some lofts come also come with them! Definitely check a few options out here!
Fairy lights and artifical plant garlands for staircase decoration
And our final tip for your loft bedroom decor: don’t forget about the staircase!
Sometimes what pulls together a great decor plan is the smallest detail. When it comes to loft decor, there’s not enough emphasis on decorating the handrails. But it is so much easier and cheaper than you’d think! And it is so worth it!
If you haven’t already, buy yourself some LED-lights or fairy lights. Put them onto the pillars of the loft and start working your way up from there: run them up the staircase and then the handrails.
If you want to go the extra mile, get a few fake plant garlands as well, and put them onto the handrails only!
Want to get some for affordable prices? Check out Amazon.
These two together are such a cute combination and can take your whole loft bedroom decor to the next level!
