Narrow and Very Narrow Bedroom Interior

Narrow and very narrow bedroom interior. A rectangular bedroom, in addition to its size, can be a real headache for the owners. It seems that the design of a 3x4 m bedroom should only consider the small size of the room itself, while the design of a 3x5 m or 3x6 m bedroom should already be "fighting" against too elongated space.

Photo 2 — Such a design of a rectangular bedroom visually expands two long walls of the room

This type of design in a rectangular bedroom visually expands two long walls of the room and neutralizes the "pressing" effect of the elongated space. This effect is further enhanced by contrasting floor and ceiling — dark lower part and light upper part expand the space upwards, thereby reducing the negative effect of a long bedroom.

The space of a narrow and long bedroom can also be "treated" by installing additional partitions that shorten the overall length of the room by creating separate sections. This solution in combination with appropriate furniture arrangement gives a unique effect and can completely eliminate the feeling of constricted walls.

Moreover, in the example above, all the above-mentioned methods are further enhanced by color and light: long walls, being light-colored, receive additional illumination. The result is evident — the room does not appear elongated.

A long room can be transformed by how a square bedroom design looks like: it's about creating the effect of a square room within an elongated one. In this case, the design assumes the presence of relatively tall elements blocking space along the long side of the room. The same trick can be useful to prevent a 3x3 m bedroom from appearing cramped.

Another way to enhance the space, based on the same visual expansion effect, is seen in this small sleeping area. The negative space of the bed against the headboard and ceiling shifts the visual perception of a small room's space, giving eyes more room to move. It is exactly due to this that the room seems slightly larger than it actually is.

The design of a corner bedroom does not differ from that of a regular room, except for perhaps having windows in two adjacent walls. In this case, the designer only needs to decide how best to utilize the space near each window for the benefit of the inhabitants.

Photo 7 — The main rule for visually increasing the space is light and color

Generally speaking, the same rule is used for increasing visual space in small rooms — light and color. For example, the sample above uses not only bedside lights but also several white-background paintings arranged horizontally. Their horizontal arrangement visually expands the wall they are on.

In fact, there can be many solutions to the problems that arise in long and narrow rooms, but each of them requires an individual approach.
