8 Tips for Decorating a Small Bedroom by Lee Dobbins
When decorating a small bedroom, it makes sense wherever possible to conserve the floor space in order to make a cramped room feel larger than it really is. Below are some small bedroom decorating ideas which should help you to achieve the right result for such a small space.
1. If you do not have enough space in the room for a small bedside table then place a wall mounted shelf next to the bed. It will have enough space on it to place an alarm clock, books, photos and other items which will personalize the space for you.
2. If you do not have the room for a bureau or closet then use under bed storage instead. They can either be made from inexpensive plastic or if you wish you can have some made-to-order from wood. But it is important that you have enough space beside the bed so that you can pull them out when you need access to them.
3. For those of you who want to watch a little TV before going to sleep then fit either a wall or ceiling mounted TV stand. You will be able to purchase one in any good DIY store or store that specializes in storage products.
4. The colors that you use on your walls should be neutral tones and only 2 or 3 hues of this color should be used in the room. It is important that you paint the moldings and doors in the room in the same colors as the walls; by using contrasting colors you will be making the room feel smaller than it is. The ceilings should be painted white as they will provide a sense of height to the room.
5. The furniture for such a room should be clean lined and have small delicate patterns on it which will help to foster the illusion of space.
6. Open up the room by maximizing any views that it may have of the outdoors by using light fabrics or blinds at the windows.
7. Ensure that the room is well illuminated as this will also provide a sense of space in such a small room.
8. Adding a mirror in a position opposite a natural form of light will help to provide further light into the room creating the illusion of space.
Hopefully these small bedroom decorating ideas will help you create the haven of peace and tranquility that you are looking for in such a confined space.
