The Small Room Makes the Strong Argument

Not every bedroom in a great American house is meant to impress by its footprint. Designers have long treated the modest guest room or tucked-away primary suite as its own kind of test: can a small space feel as considered, as finished, as generous as the grand rooms downstairs. The answer, increasingly, is yes—scale turns out to have little to do with how a bedroom actually feels to sleep in. Size isn't the point. Craft is.
