The master bedroom in a home is usually not one of the smallest rooms in the house, but for us it is. 

We prefer small spaces with a minimalism approach.

Our minimalist master bedroom provides the opportunity for all of our children to have their own rooms in our small home, which they enjoy.

It also provides my husband and I privacy on the main floor of the house, while all of our kids sleep upstairs.

Here's a quick tour!

Truth be told, our master bedroom was originally a back porch.

Previous owners of the home turned it into a room on the back of the house.

When we first moved here, it was our dining room.

We absolutely loved our dining room!

But, there came a time when our four children became teens and each needed a space of their own.

My husband and I have always felt it's important for each child to be able to go to a space they can call their own, even in a small home, to help with emotional regulation, etc.

We gave our bedroom upstairs to one of our four children and moved downstairs.

You can tour our larger bedroom in the post below.

Our daughter is enjoying the space we used to call our bedroom very much. 

She thoroughly enjoys the room to put all of her LEGO sets on display.

Meanwhile we've created a fabulous minimalist master bedroom with much less space.

A Minimalist Master Bedroom

Built in Double Bed

Our new minimalist master bedroom has a built in double bed. 

Transitioning to a smaller bed did take a little getting used to, especially with it right against the wall, but it has worked out very well. 

My husband and I don't even notice the the small size anymore.

No Nightstands

The beloved nightstands from our previous bedroom are no more. 

We use the window sill above at the head of the bed to store books we are reading.

All other books are stored in another room of our home.

No Closets

None of the bedrooms in our home have closets.

All clothes are stored on shelves or in dressers.

My husband and I have two dressers in our bedroom.

His clothes fit in two drawers of the closet in front of the windows.

I use the tall dresser and the bottom drawer of the my husband's dresser.

This means that all of our clothing is dresser friendly.

You can read more about our minimalist approach to clothing in the post below.

One Family's Minimalistic Approach to Clothing

Since there is no space under the bed, we ordered shoe racks for each side of the long dresser. 

They have held up quite well since we purchased them two years ago and fit the small spaces perfectly.

No Wall Decor

Our minimalist master bedroom contains no wall art or anything hanging on the walls.

We have five windows if you include the door in our bedroom.

The view of surrounding hay fields and sunsets are enough for us.

We prefer other walls to be plain to invite calm and relaxation.

Clear Dresser Tops

It's always our goal to keep the tops of dressers clear of items, clothes, etc. 

Less mess means less clutter and chaos.

With such a small space clear dresser tops goes a long way.

Trunk Storage

The one item we couldn't dare to part with from our bedroom upstairs was our antique storage trunk. 

Though you're not able to see it in the picture, it is in between the foot of the bed and the tall dresser.

This dresser is storage for winter bedding and other linens.

I love our minimalist master bedroom. 

Curtains still need to hung, but other than that it is perfect.

It's the one place in the house that is mine (and my husband's), where I can embrace as much minimalism as I want!
