How To Decorate Small Bedrooms

Don’t be turned off by small bedroom sizes. What these rooms lack in space they make up for in charm and coziness. Working within the confines of limited space can help you bring more character to the space than possible in a bigger area. Below are some fantastic ideas on how you can decorate a small bedroom, and they might just blow your mind!

Apply Bold Colors for Extra Pop

You can make the walls of your bedroom appear larger or smaller by selecting a particular color, wallpaper type (e.g. from Thibaut), and pattern. If your budget doesn’t allow you to purchase new furniture, use the following color suggestions:

• Bright and bold colors are eye catching and great for displaying treasured items.
• Excessively dark hues can make a room appear smaller than it really is.Go for lighter hues instead
• Red is a good example of a bold color. Ensure that you choose a color that reflects well on the owner’s age and personal preferences

Throw Out the Unnecessary Clutter

Decorating your bedroom is great, but what about the clutter that remains? When a room has too many fixtures, furnishings and furniture, it will appear smaller. To avoid this, use the following tidying suggestions:

• Clean your bedroom regularly; keep it orderly and organized so that you create the illusion that the room is spacious
• When it comes to choosing furniture, go for minimalism. Remember that sleek yet stylish is a good choice

Maximize the Space with Savvy Storage Solutions

Another aspect of decorating a small bedroom is maximizing your storage solutions. Try out these savvy storage solutions:

• Install floating shelves on the walls
• Floating closed shelves located over the bed
• Floating closed shelves underneath the chairs
• Arrange items on the headboard
• Hide your belongings under the bed using drawers
• Store your items under the stairs

Whenever in doubt, don’t hesitate to relay your storage concerns to a woodworker or an interior decorator for small bedroom design ideas.

Use Double Duty Furniture

Professional interior decorators suggest using double duty furniture in small bedrooms. Take a quick look around your bedroom and determine which chair, table, or bed can do double duty. Even an ironing board can be used! You can also frame your bed with customized cube storage compartments. For example, your bed’s headboard could have closed cabinets and open shelves for both display and storage purposes.

Light Up Your Bedroom

It is pertinent that you place your lights strategically, as it can help increase the illusion of a larger space, highlight points of interest in your room, and set a particular vibe. You can consider using sconces to illuminate your bedroom to avoid taking up valuable space on the floor. You should allow natural light to filter into the room by installing large or motorized windows. When there’s an abundance of light in your room, it can look larger than it really is.
