Designing a small space can be challenging. When you want to add style and comfort to a room with little square footage, every design decision becomes more important. Small bedrooms can be especially tricky to decorate without making them feel cramped. To help, here are some ideas for decorating a small bedroom:
If you're decorating a small bedroom, it can be beneficial to consider non-traditional layout options. If you arrange your furniture in the right way, you can make the room feel larger and more comfortable even when taking up the same amount of square footage. Try placing all the furniture on either side of the room rather than facing the door. Doing so will draw your attention to the free space rather than the furniture itself, giving the illusion of a larger room.
Multifunctional furnishings are key to decorating a small bedroom. Drawers and other storage solutions built into the bed are the best way to begin, as the bed is typically the largest piece in the room. More ways to make your furnishings double-duty include using a shelving unit as a headboard and opting for seating with hidden storage.
There are many decorating tricks you can use to make a room seem larger than it really is. One common strategy is to use one or more mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of more space. Other options include choosing low-sitting furniture and hanging window treatments from above the window frame. Hang or wall-mount your lighting rather than use floor or table lamps, and you'll conserve space while making the room seem more expansive.
There are many clever ways to decorate a small space to make it stylish and comfortable without being cramped. Keep these tips in mind when decorating your own small bedroom to create the perfect fit.
I grew up in a small town in Wyoming and married my high school sweetheart. I purchased my first home when I was 18 and immediately found a passion for real estate. One year later, I passed the Wyoming Real Estate Exam, and successfully purchased my second property! I love to help people navigate the real estate process and connect with my customers to help them achieve their real estate goals! With more than 25 years of experience in the industry – including residential, commercial, timeshare sales, and property management: I thrive on new opportunities to assist Buyers and Sellers. When not listing a property or negotiating an offer, you may find me on the beach enjoying some "Salt Life", volunteering at my child's school, and helping out in the community. Finally, I am proud to sit on the board of directors of a dedicated 501c3 foundation & help veterans, active service members, & first responders find relief from PTSD through scuba diving.
