How to Decorate a Small Bedroom: 7 Working Tips

If the bedroom is very small, compromises must be made — give up the headboard and bulky furniture.

Light, Monochrome Finish

Paint the walls the same color as the floor. We recommend light colors. If you accent the ceiling — for example, paint it in a bright color — the effect will only be enhanced.

Shelves Instead of Bed Headboard

Do away with the headboard — instead, hang shelves above the bed.

Large Wardrobe

It's better to place one large wardrobe rather than several small dressers or nightstands. This way, you save space and keep all your clothes in one place.

Wall-Mounted Nightstands

If you can't do without a nightstand, choose wall-mounted models. They look lighter than more bulky floor-standing ones.

Less Textile

Voluminous blankets and pillows look great only in pictures on the internet. In a small bedroom, they overload the space — a compact bed will look twice as big as it actually is. Better to choose a few small pillows and a light blanket.

Sheer Curtains or Blinds

Heavy curtains definitely won't add lightness to the room. Especially since more natural light should enter the bedroom.

Wall-mounted Lights and Wall Sconces

Long pendant lights visually lift a low ceiling. Want to enhance the effect? Place them near a low bed.
