Decorating small spaces can be tricky, but if you pay attention to the space, and follow some rules and decoration tips, you could be amazed by the final result you could archive. This guide will mention some simple ideas for small bedroom decor to help you in your DIY project.
1. Use warm neutral tones combine with a dark color
The bedroom is a room where we enjoy relaxing, so using neutral tones can be a perfect choice to achieve that. According to designers, the best colors for small bedrooms are pastels. Warm pastels with their undertones and shades will give the filling of light, soft, and calming atmosphere.
But, if you prefer cool tones, no worries, there are plenty of beautiful shades that can transform your room, and still make it spacious and inviting.
Painting the wall on the far side of the bedroom in a darker color, while keeping the rest of the walls in a lighter tone can make a small bedroom look and feel bigger.
You can even try a ‘two-tone’ effect to create a delusion of height.
2. Clear out small unnecessary furniture
Because the room is smaller doesn’t mean that you have to go with small size furniture. Choose a comfortable bed that fits in a space perfectly, is not too small, and not too big, and has one or two nightstands that can be the same, or different, to add character.
Besides the wardrobe, if there is no space for a dresser or a chair, better avoid it. Less furniture will make your room seem much bigger.
3. Choose a larger rug instead of a smaller
A larger rug is a better option because it can give the feeling of a larger room. Select a size that should rest within 12 inches of all four walls of your bedroom if possible.
Again light shades of colors, or patterns that repeat themselves vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, give the illusion of a wider space.
4. Be aware of lighting the room properly
Light can make a room look gorgeous, but it can have the opposite result as well. Try to integrate wall lights, they can free up the surface of nightstands. If you wish to choose a table lamp, turn it into a focal point.
Use the trick of distraction if your ceiling is not too low. Suspend a statement light to draw attention to the ceiling.
5. Make a DIY headboard -that will draw
your eye upwards
If your bed doesn’t have a headboard, or you would like to add a new one, you can search for inspiration online, and make a DIY project that can change the appearance of the entire room. A tall headboard in a small bedroom will instantly draw your eye upwards, making the room appear bigger.
6. Dress a window with ceiling-height curtains
Adding height and hanging the curtains from a ceiling, allows the fabric to fall better and gives your room a cozy look and feel of more open space.
The higher the curtains, the better it looks.
7. Use vertical space in your bedroom
There are plenty of ways you can use the vertical space of a bedroom. Create a vertical garden by hinging some plants, add beautiful shelves for decor pieces and storage space as well, and hang amazing wall art that can bring color and positive vibes.
8. Add some atmosphere with a candles
What can add a better cozy touch to any space in your home than candles?
Candles can help you to calm down and let stress go away at the end of the day. Choose any fragrance you prefer. If you are looking to relax and reduce anxiety look for candles with aromatherapy notes like orange, lavender, mandarine, vanilla, sandalwood, blue spruce, and chamomile.
9. Dress your bed in a beautiful bedlinen
One of the most essential things in decorating your bedroom is the final look of your bed. Colors of bed linen, texture, decorative pillows, throw blankets…
These are the things you should invest in. It’s worth it! Not only because of the final touch and focal point that your bed will be, but it will give you the best sleeping experience and it will brighten up your mood each time you enter the room.
