If you have limited floor space but high ceilings, mezzanine levels are a great way to expand your usable living space. Since mezzanine rooms often have limited headroom, it is recommended that the platform be used for purposes that do not require sufficient ceiling height. This limitation is not an issue in rooms where you plan to lie down mostly, like bedrooms. Plus, tuck your sleeping space away from your open-plan living space for more privacy. In this collection of 40 mezzanine bedrooms, we’ll explore concepts of all sizes and aesthetics, as well as helpful tips for your design.
A partial mezzanine keeps the bed off the floor while maintaining the ceiling height of the living space. A librarian’s ladder access point takes up very little floor space, and you can even use the ladder to reach high shelves in the room.
The natural wood mezzanine structure adds beautiful warmth and texture to the high ceiling interior. Apply lots of lush green indoor plants to add to the rustic beauty.
Large loft apartments have generous ceiling heights and widths to create luxurious and authentic bedroom spaces. Maintain the airy mezzanine look with open metal railings or glass panels that share natural light.
For more privacy, the half-height mezzanine can be filled with attractive panels. Install musalabi screens or portholes to trickle in natural light from your living space. See more images here.

Choose an open staircase design with no risers to give a light impact to a small space.
