Ideas for Decorating a Small Bedroom

Size is not an issue when the soul is not small. Rephrasing Fernando Pessoa to tell you that yes, it's possible to have a small bedroom decorated as a dream.

You only need two things: creativity and an inspiring idea. The first you'll win, the second we will help you with tips and ideas that will make you fall in love.

Decorating a Small Bedroom – Key Tips

The first tip you've heard about all the time – use neutral, light and soft colors. But why? Light colors reflect light, unlike dark ones. This makes the room appear wider and brighter than it actually is. In other words, this is a visual trick that works very well in small spaces.

You can choose classic white or aim for more modern shades like gray. It's also worth considering pastel color schemes, with emphasis on colors such as yellow and lavender that perfectly suit creating a feeling of warmth and comfort in the bedroom.

However, everything will depend on the style you want to create for your interior. If the goal is to make a modern room, it's better to choose neutral colors, especially gray and white.

If you want to improve the room, our advice is to invest in wallpaper. This is one of the most practical, effective and fast ways to change your interior while spending little and getting great results.

Wallpaper, in addition to color, also adds texture to the room. But be careful with excessive visual information. Remember that the room is small, so it's better to use wallpaper only on one wall, preferably the one at the head of the bed.

The rest of the interior should be neutral and light so that the wallpaper stands out. You can even use wallpaper to enhance the decorative aesthetics of the room.

Floral patterns are romantic and delicate, while stripes and checks are classic prints like arabesques. More modern options might choose geometric shapes or large-scale patterns.

Multi-functional Furniture

Multi-functional furniture is the icing on the cake for a small decorated bedroom. As the name suggests, this type of furniture has more than one function.

For example, a bed can serve not only as a place to sleep but also as an excellent storage space. Just choose a model with drawers. You won't believe how much you can store in this space.

You should also consider furniture that works as a shelf, table and linen cabinet. Or a bench that also serves as a shoe rack.

Less is More

The golden rule for small spaces cannot be anything else than “less is more”.

This means using simplicity and minimalism in decoration instead of focusing on overly elaborate and decorated designs.

To avoid excess, evaluate items based on functionality, comfort and appearance. If an item has only one of these characteristics, it may not work well in your room.

Large Objects Are Welcome

It might seem that this advice contradicts the previous one, but it doesn't. Adding large objects to a bedroom makes the room appear bigger, whereas using too many small items makes it look smaller. An excess of decorations visually pollutes the room, making it seem smaller.

If you're going to use a painting, it's better to choose a large one that takes up most of the wall rather than several small comics. Again, the rule “less is more” applies here.
