BEST IDEAS TO MAINTAIN A SENSE OF SPACIOUSNESS IN YOUR SMALL BEDROOM

Is a small bedroom getting you down? Perhaps, it doesn’t matter if you have a very small space in your bedroom; with a little creative thinking, you can transform your tiny room into a special space & can bring new life to your room. That’s why here we rounded up some small bedroom ideas that are big on style! Read on to know how you can create a cozy & stylish room inside your very own home with great textures, wise furniture selection, and few accessories.

  • Think Light Colored Walls- As soft shades reflect light, paint the walls in light colors. This will make your small bedroom look airier & bigger. Avoid dark colored wall paint because it absorbs light &makes the room appears more condensed.
  • Utilize Every Square Inch of Space- Under the bed storage is the key in a small bedroom. So, consider a few of these options: like drawers, shoe organizers, wheeled boxes, locked boxes or storage bags.
  • Form an Efficient Layout- Your bed defines your bedroom, hence its placement plays a major role in how cluttered the room will feel. So make an efficient bedroom layout where the bed position ensures excellent circulation space to move in & around. As well, less furniture or multifunctional pieces which serve a dual-purpose are perfect for a small bedroom. A chest of drawers could replace a side table, to maximize storage, or a desk could occupy that space, based on your needs. It can even be eliminated if you have built in shelving in the headboard, or ledges above the headboard that caters to your specific functions for your bedside table.
  • Reflect Light with Mirrors- Install mirrors within a small bedroom which make a powerful visual impact in a small room by bouncing light throughout the space, straight away making it look larger.
  • Don’t Let the Curtain Drape Hit on the Floor- When the curtain drapes run all the way to the floor; you are cutting off the entire flow of the room. So tie them up or leave a few inches from the floor. Also select the curtains that match with your walls & window treatments, which keeps the eye moving across space, fool it into seeing the bedroom as bigger than it actually is.
  • Prefer Muted Flooring-Opt for vitrified tiles, porcelain tiles or marble in neutral colors to add an element of brightness inside the bedroom. Steer clear of materials that are dark, as it would swallow the ligt in the room.
  • Mount The Light - Free up the usual night tables by installing sconces or any other kind of stylish & beautiful light fixtures that don't require cords. Ultimately it makes for a spick and span presentation in a small bedroom. 
  • Consider Leggy Furniture- Give your furniture a lift with legs to make an open feel & depth in the room. Not all pieces want to be legged, but try to have at least one piece with some height, whether it’s your dresser, bed or nightstands.
  • Cut out Clutter- Nothing makes a room look small & overcrowded as clutter. So the right ways to open up your space is with a good flush out – chuck out too many knickknacks, things that are unattractive or those that could belong in other rooms in your home. You don’t need a bare room, but you don’t want overload –just place a few pieces of artwork, collectibles, photos, or other essential accessories, that inspire you.

 

So, when you arrange your small bedroom; be sure your idea revolves around the idea of creating visual interest without making your space feel cluttered.
