The area is 224 square feet or 21 square meters, ideal for an average home size of 2,000 square feet or 186 square meters. These bedrooms feature enough room to move about, but a bathroom or closet could make the space feel tight.

This minimum-size bedroom can accommodate a king-size bed, but you can go with a queen-size or full-sized bed if you want to conserve space. If you want to add furniture to your small master bedroom, any of the following will do.
