Creating stylish and functional bedrooms can be challenging, especially in smaller spaces. For my daughters’ recent makeovers, we focused on small bedroom storage solutions for kids and teens to maximize every inch while reflecting their unique personalities. Not only did we achieve stunning transformations, but we also created rooms that are highly practical. With help from Pottery Barn Kids and PB Teen, we brought these ideas to life.
Keatyn’s Teen Room: Elevated Design Meets Smart Storage
Keatyn’s transition to a teenage room required a blend of sophistication and practicality. First, we worked with Pottery Barn’s designer to create a layout that made her room both functional and chic. As a result, every corner of her space serves a purpose.

Key Elements in Keatyn’s Room:
- Blaire Low Loft Bed: The ultimate storage solution with six dresser drawers, three cubbies, and a roll-out desk.
- Chill and Snack Zones: A cozy cave chair for relaxing and a snack station for hosting friends.
- Smart Seating: Bean bags that can be tucked under the bed or pulled out for sleepovers.
- Shelving for Style: Open and closed shelving keeps her decor and essentials beautifully displayed.
Moreover, the designer’s mood board helped us balance her desire for a clean white aesthetic with boho sage green accents. In the end, her room became a perfect retreat.

Key Features in Charlie’s Room:

Because of this setup, Charlie’s room now has ample space for both creativity and relaxation. In fact, her cottage-core design with rose pink, dusty blue, and sage green tones adds to its charm.
Designer Services: A Game-Changer for Small Spaces
Working with Pottery Barn Kids and PB Teen’s designer services made all the difference. For instance, the mood boards and layouts provided clarity and confidence as we brought these rooms to life. Most importantly, the process ensured we made the most of the available space while staying true to each daughter’s style.
Tips for Transforming Small Bedrooms:
- Use Vertical Space: Loft beds free up the floor for other activities.
- Invest in Multi-Functional Furniture: Roll-out desks and beds with drawers are ideal for small spaces.
- Plan with a Designer: A professional layout can optimize every inch of the room.
- Create Zones: Define areas for sleep, study, and relaxation to keep the space organized.
Bringing the Vision to Life
Our designer-guided mood boards will be shared in the blog to illustrate how we transitioned these ideas into reality. Seeing the vision come together step by step was such a rewarding process, and the results speak for themselves.
