Buying a home in the present time is a huge investment and a great accomplishment owing to the splurging rates in the real estate world. People these days buy a home that suits their budget without paying much heed to space. And this is when you can get stuck in a small bedroom.
So, how can you do up your small bedroom? We think that the main purpose of a small bedroom needs to be its functionality. Having a small bedroom to sleep and store your belongings shouldn’t mean that you will have to sacrifice in terms of comfort and style. This is exactly where we need to turn towards better options in bedroom decor. This will enable us to enjoy a cozy retreat while making practical use of the space.
We agree that decorating a small bedroom can be very challenging. It’s the bedroom which takes the place of the special space in our homes — it’s the place we relax! By incorporating carefully picked art, furniture arrangements, and colors, we can surely succeed in setting the right vibes for our bedrooms.
We’ve compiled some simple decorating ideas that will transform your small bedroom into a hearty one. Here’s a list that will inspire you to make the best of whatever space you have. Read on.
1. Include Big Furniture
Yes, big furniture can be used in your small bedroom! Using big furniture in your room will make your bedroom look bigger. There’s no joy in picking a small bed, because who can sleep well in a small one, right? Therefore, go all hearty in size while picking your furniture for your room. Also, if you want to keep decorative items in your room, pick them up too in bigger sizes because placing too many small decorative items can make your bedroom look very cluttered and stuffed with too many items.
2. Opt Colors And Patterns That Are Cohesive
Using very bright and eclectic colors in your bedroom space can again make it look very cluttered. You have a small space; you need to make it look more inviting than other parts of your home. So, if all white isn’t your cup of tea. Include your favorite colors to decorate your room but do it thoughtfully. In short, stick to a limited color palette.
3. Maximum Utilization Of Vertical Space
Drawers and closets are a must-have for your bedroom. But if you need extra storage, you need to take advantage of your walls. You can think vertical shelves that you can hang wherever you require in your room. They won’t take up your floor space and make your bedroom look tinier.
4. Hanging Mirrors And Lamps
You don’t have to invest in a dressing table! It’s going to occupy more space and burn a hole in your pocket. Instead, go for mirrors hanging on your walls. It will act as wall decor and save up on space as well.
The same applies to lamps as well. A table lamp would require a table, right? How about hanging a single light from the ceiling? It will look chic, minimal, and modern.
5. Use Fresh And Unique Textures
We think a small bedroom when given a boho touch looks extravagant. Make use of overlapped rugs that have contrast texture. And add some freshness to your bedroom by picking indoor plants like succulents or even a hanging planter to make your room greener. Use quirky pots for the plants to garner more attention to details.
6. Storage Under The Bed
If you’re planning on buying a new bed for your room, then consider buying one with drawers underneath or just space underneath. You could arrange your books in them, or store whatever is dear to you in them. If you have already had a bed that fits perfect to your small bedroom, you can pick cute storage bins and place it under your bed for extra storage. Milk crates or woven baskets will also look good for this.
7. Create A feature Wall With A Wallpaper
If you have a small bedroom that is narrow, you can bring focus to the far wall by decking it up with fabulous wallpaper. We recommend that you opt for a large-scale pattern wallpaper instead of a small busy one. If it’s your rented home, you can look for options in removable wallpaper. Coordinate the wallpaper design with your bedding to make it look even more beautiful.
8. Use Airy Drapes
If you have a thing for sleeping in spaces that make you feel at your coziest best, then go for airy drapes. Airy Drapes will let light and air pass through whilst giving you the privacy that you seek. Pastel shades would be our pick, what would be yours?
Since we spend a higher percentage of our lives in bed, the bedroom needs to be that place where we can enjoy and just be ourselves. Regardless of how small the size of your bedroom is, we need to go the aesthetic way to create a welcoming atmosphere for our bedrooms. Do you have any other better decor ideas for a small bedroom?
