We all know that with the modern way of life in cities, we are conditioned to live in small spaces where every square meter is valuable.
In small living spaces, non-functional decorative details can feel like unnecessary clutter, leaving little room for personal belongings and contributing to a sense of living in a confined space. However, there are several ways to make a small bedroom beautiful and comfortable with little effort. Don't think that your small space will limit you and prevent you from creating a space that you will love. If you allow your creativity to awaken, you will quickly understand that any room can be beautiful if you organize it yourself.
Modern and luxurious interior trends often suggest incorporating various features like a workspace, sitting area, and oversized bed into the bedroom. However, reconsidering the bedroom's primary function can reveal that these additions may not be necessary. The bedroom serves as a space for rest and rejuvenation, making sure you have the energy to tackle the challenges of the day ahead.
From there, small bedrooms can be a real advantage. They will prevent you from bringing in many things that will distract you. That's why we decided to present you with ten ideas for decorating small bedrooms that we're sure you'll like.
1. Use soft and bright colors
White color is an ideal choice for a small bedroom. It will help you create a space that won't look cramped or claustrophobic. White or any other lighter color will help you fight the small space, especially if you have windows that let in natural light.
If you're concerned that a white bedroom may appear hygienic or impersonal, incorporate additional details such as color, wall texture, or patterns you enjoy. The decoration of your bed or other elements of furniture, curtains, and colored carpets can help you create a space that reflects your personality.
2. Position the bed in a corner
Most interior solutions place the bed in the central part of the bedroom. However, if your space is limited, allow yourself to experiment. To make the most of every inch of your space, place your bed in a corner or against a wall. In this way, you will successfully create a space dedicated to sleep that will look comfortable and relaxed.
3. Avoid bulky headboards on the bed
Even a few centimeters of space in the bedroom can be vital. Say goodbye to the bulky headboard and replace it with something smaller. With numerous modern variations available today, we're confident that this compromise won't result in significant losses.
4. Minimalism
Add space to your bedroom by carefully choosing your decoration and creating thoughtful and necessary units. Focus on the space under the bed for storing boxes and less frequently used items. What is offered as an even better option are built-in chests of drawers that camouflage and present an abundance of free space to store your wardrobe.
5. Enlarge the room with mirrors
Mirrors visually increase the space because they create the illusion of a larger space. Position the mirror so that it faces the window and reflects light. If you want a large mirror in your bedroom, get one that you can hang on the wall to avoid cluttering the floor.
6. Turn the space under the bed into a pantry
Although we've mentioned this before, it's important to emphasize this idea. Nowadays, both on the market and within our offerings at Wood Mark, several beds come with drawers built directly under the mattress. If your space is limited and you can't have drawers, buy some decorative boxes. You can store all the important items that usually don't have a designated place.
7. Vertical editing
If you have limited floor space but high ceilings, consider adding a platform to your bed to gain more space. While it may not be suitable for everyone, for those willing to try something different and comfortable sleeping in a raised area, it offers access to a whole new world of organization and clutter-free living.
8. Wall coverings
Just because your bedroom is small doesn't mean it has to be boring. With wall coverings with bold patterns, you can create an accent wall or decorate only a certain part of your room. While wall coverings are back in style, it is important to use them thoughtfully. Improper application can make the space feel even smaller. At Wood Mark, we offer a vast selection of materials for your wall coverings. When choosing a pattern, consider creating a cohesive look that complements your space."
9. Get creative with shelves
Shelves are perfect for smaller apartments because you can install as many as you need. They can serve multiple purposes such as a makeup and cosmetics table, bookshelf, trinket shelf, laptop table, and more. Remember, being creative is key!
10. Modify the walls
In modern buildings, walls are often constructed with plaster and other similar 'soft' materials. However, with some effort and skill, you can customize them to suit your needs. For instance, if your bed is not against an exterior wall, you can create a charming recess in the wall. This is not a DIY project for beginners, as it requires experience. It may cost a bit more, but it is best to hire skilled professionals for this task.
We hope you like our ideas and that they inspire you to create a space that makes you happier!
