The modern bedroom shifts toward smaller, tighter spaces to reflect lifestyle shifts

Implications - No longer a feature designed solely for small apartments and lofts, compact bedrooms are expanding into contemporary home units for functionality and more. Realizing that consumer lifestyles are shifting and that leisure and entertainment often go beyond the home, typically large and luxurious spaces like bedrooms are receiving a compact overhaul as a result. This speaks to a desire for convenience over luxury, particularly in the home design space.
Workshop Question - If you had to strip your product or service down to it's bare minimum, what would be left?
