How to Decorate Tiny Bedrooms
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Notebook
Work out your color scheme. Light, pastel hues make a room feel instantly bigger. Avoid the dark tones and opt for hues like pale blue, pastel green and ivory. Keep your color palette limited to no more than three colors to keep things under control.
Limit the use of loud patterns. Go for a smaller-sized pattern to make the room seem larger. If you're using wallpaper, consider papering just one wall as a statement piece. Choose light-colored patterns to make effective use of the illusion of space.
Forget the eclectic. Choose furniture that matches both in style and size. An eclectic gathering of furniture might look charming and whimsical, but to create an impression of space, go with pieces that coordinate.
Consider getting custom-made furniture. Measure your bedroom's dimensions with a measuring tape. Write them down in a notebook before shopping. Contact a local furniture dealer or designer in your area and see if you can acquire pieces designed with your bedroom in mind.
Scale down your bed. Contemplate going smaller for your bed. A twin or even a full bed will leave you with more space to move about in than a queen or king bed will. Find a frame and headboard, but leave the footboard off. The soft angle of the mattress will make the room feel larger than the right angles a footboard creates.
Invest in storage. A cushioned ottoman can serve as a seat, a table and storage space. Locate bins that will fit underneath your bed frame to make use of additional unused space. Use a tall dresser rather than a wide one to get more storage out of a smaller square footage area.
Limit the knick-knacks. A couple of art pieces on the wall and on furniture enhance decor, but too many make a room look wild. Keep the pieces down to a minimum to make the room look and feel less cluttered.
