Correctly selected design of a small bedroom, its color palette, decor, selection and arrangement of furniture - all this is of great importance. After all, if in a large room the flaws are not too noticeable, then in an area of 10 square meters every little detail will be before your eyes.
In this article we will look at the most important points regarding the design of a bedroom of modest size. Starting from design and ending with zoning of the room, taking into account its purpose. There is also a photo gallery with examples of decoration and furnishings.
DIY decoration and design of a small bedroom
The more carefully we pay attention to the decoration and design of the bedroom, the more comfortable it will be to be in it.
Choosing a design
When decorating the interior of a small bedroom, you need to remember that it is undesirable to clutter small rooms. In its pure form, it is better to use minimalist styles: hi-tech, minimalism, Japanese or Scandinavian. The latter is very successful, as it implies a nuanced harmony in the interior, consisting of neutral basic tones and a small number of bright accessories.
Most ethnic styles can be adapted for a small bedroom or living room in an apartment: Provence, English, maritime, African, Egyptian, Moroccan and Mediterranean. Their initial palette is not too dark, and decor is not the key point. With historical designs in small bedrooms it is more difficult, since decor and accessories are the basis for the recognition of such styles.

Note:When we talk about adapting styles, we mean adjusting the color palette of the room and the volume of decor. For example, English design involves a lot of dark wood, wallpaper and textiles in rich colors. Adaptation is done by replacing wenge-colored wood with a lighter one; wallpaper is selected in neutral tones; the number of accessories is reduced without distorting the overall character of the style.

Wallpaper and photo wallpaper in a small bedroom
As for simple wallpaper for a small bedroom, in a room with a small area it is better to refuse:
- Large drawing - it visually makes the room smaller
- A sharply contrasting pattern will quickly tire your eyes.
- Drawings in the form of balls of any size - they seem convex and visually push the walls towards the beholder.
You can visually enlarge a small bedroom using photo wallpaper depicting an exit to a terrace, a forest path, a view from a cliff or cliff, a city panorama, etc. The subconscious mind perceives all of the above as the absence of a wall, and accordingly, the room will seem larger. It could also be something abstract, cold in tone. It is better not to use large images of animals or flowers - they have a large number of rounded lines (see point 3).

Note:The temperature and lightness of tones directly determine how noticeable the lack of space will be. Cool shades visually push the walls apart, warm shades make them closer; Light colors make rooms larger, dark colors make them smaller.Placing accents in the interior of a small bedroom
At the beginning of the article, “nuanced harmony” was mentioned. Its main advantage for a small bedroom is its light primary colors, which make the room appear more spacious. And if a large room allows you to complement the design with any number of bright details, then a small room, on the contrary, requires moderation. Accents in the design of a small bedroom are introduced in small quantities, best of all - one large point and two or three small ones.
The photo shows a renovation in a small bedroom with a beautiful design, executed in nuanced harmony.
Options for placing accents may be different. Here are some ideas:
- Two bright bedside tables + two or three small reproductions or paintings above the bed.
- Bright curtains + several decorative pillows to match.
- A bedspread with a blanket of different colors and textures + a painting/reproduction on the wall + a couple of unusual lamps.
How to decorate a small bedroom: the correct placement of accents is very important
Selection of decorative items
As with furniture, which will be discussed below, bulkiness should be avoided in decor. For example, paintings, photos and reproductions. They should not have a massive, dark frame. Wide frames, similar in color to the walls, are quite appropriate. In a small bedroom, the size of these wall decorations also matters: either up to 60 cm 2, or we already use a panel of photo wallpaper, covering the entire wall.
An important point is lighting. In a small room, wall-mounted bedside lamps are optimal. When lampshades are not intended to be used as accents in the bedroom design, they are selected in neutral colors. If the lamps are standing, you should not choose devices with large lampshades: the more modest, the better. In this regard, high-tech models are good - small, with a simple surface relief. Chandeliers are selected according to the same principle - small size and simplicity of design.

Curtains for a small bedroom
In a small room, it is better to avoid curtains with massive lambrequins or wide, far-protruding bands. If the design of the curtains is classic and they are attached to a round cornice, then the latter should not be too wide. All this visually lowers the ceiling and moves the window opening towards the person looking at it. Fabrics for curtains are preferably soft, flowing, and hard, bristling ones, like organza, should be avoided.

Note:if the window is located on a smaller wall, then not only it, but also the partitions on the sides should be covered with curtains. With open partitions, we get several wide vertical lines that will make the room narrower. This rule applies to classic, French and Japanese curtains.How to arrange a small bedroom: furniture
The correct choice and arrangement of furniture, zoning - all this is of great importance for rooms with a shortage of space.
Bedroom layout
The layout of a small bedroom depends on the shape of the room, the location of the entrance, the window/windows and whether there is a need to place storage systems or a workspace. The diagram below shows two options for arranging a standard set of furniture in a small bedroom. If there is no need for a storage system, then in its place you can place a stand for TV and/or audio.
Layout: double bed + bedside tables + wardrobe
If you need to place a study in the bedroom, then the arrangement of furniture can be as follows:
How to place a bed, bedside tables, work space and bookcase in a small bedroom
The diagrams given above are designed for standard furniture. However, to save space, you can use unusual options. A good way to fit a sleeping and work space into a 10-meter room would be to purchase a loft bed, as in the photo. The niche underneath can be used to install a desktop and/or bookcase. True, this option is available if the ceiling in the room exceeds 3 m in height.
Note:There is also an option for rooms with ceilings up to 3 m - a transforming bed. During the day it is a small sofa, in front of which there is a lot of free space, and at night it is a wide, comfortable sleeping place. Problems can only arise with the purchase of a bed - most often such models are only available to order.

Furniture selection
In a small bedroom there is no place for a bed with a massive headboard and footboard. Ideally, it is better to do without them at all, or with just a small headboard. A good option would be to purchase a bed made of openwork forging; it looks good and does not clutter up the space. If you like to read while sitting in bed and leaning against the wall, then you don’t have to buy a bulky model with a soft headboard. You can use the idea for a small bedroom from the following photo: a small cornice with a narrow pillow on it is mounted to the wall.
Cozy room for a girl or woman
It is better to completely abandon sofas, armchairs, and voluminous poufs and replace them with stools or chairs. If you want to place a banquette at the foot of the bed, then it should have thin legs and a seat that is not too plump. Bedside tables should be lightweight, in the form of drawers on thin legs, or replaced with small shelves.

Note:It is preferable to replace ordinary hinged wardrobes with compartments. The sliding wardrobe does not require additional space for opening the doors. They, in turn, can be of any width, which significantly improves the overview of the content. In addition, a built-in mirrored wardrobe visually enlarges the bedroom, which cannot be said about a hinged wardrobe.

Zoning a small bedroom
If we are talking about zoning a room used by one person or a married couple, then it is better not to consider options with physical partitioning of the room. Any partition immediately makes the bedroom very small, so it is better to use visual methods - color, material and texture of the walls, floor or ceiling. You can also use curtains that, if necessary, will be pulled towards the wall and, when assembled, will not catch the eye.
It’s a completely different matter when the bedroom is designed for two children, and even with the condition that there is a workplace in it for each of them. Here two problems arise at once: personal space and the ability to do homework without being distracted by each other. A way to avoid the construction of partitions is to purchase a rack with the top open on both sides. This way, each child will have their own corner and additional storage space for school supplies.

When developing the design of a small bedroom, you need to think carefully, create a furniture layout, and choose the right one.

A room such as a bedroom must be comfortable, cozy and pleasing to the eye, since a person spends about a third of his life there every day. To many, it may not seem very important what the room in which he sleeps looks like, because in fact you see it the least, but psychologists have long proven the influence of what surrounds you before bed on a person’s psyche and mood.

A small bedroom can become a real cozy nest, but making a spacious room cozy is much more difficult. And only when you try to arrange a miniature room do all your talents come to light, because you need to choose the right furniture, color, try to visually expand the space, and at the same time create a harmonious interior. We hope the tips below help you.
No. 1. Use light colors
Light shades in the design of small rooms - The easiest way make it visually larger and this is the method that both professional and novice designers resort to, since this option is a win-win. Light shades seem to expand the space, making it lighter, fresher, more elegant. You can also use one trick - paint the ceiling the same color as. 
It is not necessary to use only white color, which for many people does not cause the most pleasant sensations, and cannot always give the room the proper coziness. Will do just fine all pastel shades: cream, peach, beige, as well as light delicate shades of blue, light green, pink, etc. If you want to give the room uniqueness and originality, then against the general background of pastel shades, one of the walls can be painted in some contrasting color. It is with this technique that you can solve the problem and place the necessary emphasis. You can get it by painting it a different color, pasting it over, or using photo wallpaper.
Usage photo wallpaper in the bedroom- one of the ways to highlight a wall in the interior.

No. 2. Choosing the right furniture
Another important condition that must be observed when arranging a small bedroom is the choice of the right furniture: it should be functional, take up as little space as possible and be simple, not pretentious. Try to use minimum required set of furniture, do not waste space between elements, give preference to lower furniture. So, you can choose a low one, in the Japanese style, and then the room will seem visually more spacious. Another interesting trick is to use, which can simultaneously become a storage place for numerous things. It’s hard to even believe how much stuff can fit there.
No. 4. We use mirrors
Hanging mirrors in the bedroom is another simple and reliable way to make the bedroom visually larger. If you correctly place a floor-length mirror in the room, you can get illusion of extra space, and the bedroom, remaining exactly the same in size, will already seem more spacious. All this is due to the fact that the mirror, as it were, doubles the space. Any mirror surface has the same properties, so similar accessories, pieces of furniture and decor should be used in the design of a small bedroom.
No. 5. Leave the space around the door free
This is another little trick that many of us are not aware of. The space near the bedroom door must remain free if you want to visually expand the room. It’s good if there is nothing at all from the door to the wall opposite, but in the smallest bedroom this is difficult to achieve, so the minimum number of objects at the maximum distance from the door is the best option. 
No. 6. Optimizing space
When starting to arrange your own bedroom, try to look at it differently. Perhaps you never noticed high ceiling or wide, which may be useful in the arrangement. So, if the ceiling is high enough, then you can turn the bedroom into a real dream and organize second tier, and place a sleeping place on it, leaving the first floor for storage systems, dressing table, table and other necessary pieces of furniture. Wide window sill It will also help to arrange additional places for relaxation: you can arrange a small sofa there, decorating it with bright pillows that can distract from the main drawback of the room - its miniature size.
Using massive, heavy accessories will also not add additional space to a small bedroom. At all decor in such a room There should be a minimum, but there’s no escape without it. One or two paintings or photographs will only decorate and diversify the simple interior of a small bedroom, but a huge number of them will play a cruel joke. The bedroom can be decorated with fresh flowers, small souvenirs and other items, but the main thing is to observe moderation and know the line between taste and bad taste. 
Great idea to hang it on one of the walls large painting or poster. This technique will help distract attention from the area of the room, catching your eye.
No. 8. Correct lighting
There is another problem that owners of a small bedroom may face: lack of natural light, i.e. no windows. This can happen after a not entirely successful redevelopment, adaptation of a room not intended for this purpose into a bedroom, and in a number of other cases. The way out is to create the effect of the presence of a window: you can attach a real frame to the wall, equip it with a mirror or lighting and curtains, you can draw a window, make the partition in the next room transparent. Interior styles such as minimalism, classic and Japanese style.

How to furnish a small bedroom - ways to visually increase space
If your bedroom is not as large as you would like, you can use various elements to create an optical illusion. Among the main ones:
Original design of a small bedroom. - Glass and mirror details. It has long been known that mirror surfaces reflect light and help visually enlarge the space. Be sure to choose wardrobes with doors that have mirrors. You can place several small ones on the walls of the room. Visually this will add volume to the area. Be sure to place everything not next to the window, but against it. The reflected light will fill the bedroom and provide additional illumination. If you cannot use mirrors in the bedroom, replace them with mirrored surfaces. For example, stained glass and panels. The visual lightness and transparency of mirrors does not clutter up the space;
- Glossy surface of the ceiling and walls. Special glossy paint can replace the mirror surface. It’s just important not to go too far with the color. Bright colors can cause anxiety and aggression. Choose pastel shades that will not put pressure on you, but will only give you peace of mind. Before using paint, you need to perfectly level the surface. The mirror surface of the gloss will begin to refract light. This will expose all the existing bumps and holes. As a result, you will get the effect of untidy painting. If you combine the glossy surface of the ceiling and well-structured lighting, you get the effect of infinity;
Modern interior of a small bedroom. - Special wallpaper. To change the perception of space, you can use photo wallpaper. There is a huge range of such coatings. The most commonly used wallpapers are those depicting a landscape or a city. They should only be glued to one wall. This will become the main accent in the room. If the room is rectangular, a narrow wall is not suitable for photo wallpaper. This will further stretch the room even more, and the desired effect will not be achieved. If you need to change the proportions of a room, add harmony to a disproportionate room, use striped wallpaper. A covering with horizontal lines glued to a narrow wall helps expand it. To increase the height of the room, vertical strips are used;
- Lighting. This decorative element is important because it can be used to change the atmosphere in the room and create various visual effects. For a small bedroom, the classic option with bright lighting in the center is not suitable. This way you won’t be able to achieve comfort. It is recommended to use zone lighting. Each area of the bedroom has its own lighting;
- If there is a balcony. Some apartments have a balcony in the bedroom. And it plays an important role, as it helps to expand the space. It can be included in the overall interior of the bedroom. Additional furniture can be placed on the balcony. It is suitable for creating a separate zone.

To increase the size of a room (even visually), you need to make some effort and show maximum imagination. There are a number of techniques used to make a bedroom appear larger than it actually is.
Below are some suggestions and design ideas that will help solve the problem of a small bedroom area.
- Try to empty the room of unnecessary things to see how much free space appears after that. Removing some items from the floor and placing them in a dresser or nightstand will make the room feel more spacious. Don't clutter the room; It is advisable to arrange furniture along the longest wall. Try not to accumulate too much furniture and accessories in it because it looks untidy. Choose only the most necessary interior elements.
- Don't go overboard with patterns and designs. If you want to create a feeling of calm, choose a pastel color palette and add a few light accents. Use rich shades and bright patterns minimally so as not to create a narrow optical space.
- Use every centimeter of a small bedroom optimally.
- Avoid draperies. Curtains with many folds and made of heavy fabrics (for example, velor) make the room smaller, so use light fabrics: linen and cotton. Instead of standard curtains, you can use lightweight options that take up less space, such as thin curtains or blinds.
- The use of large mirrors located on different walls of the room and reflecting its areas will visually make the bedroom much larger.
- Use photo wallpaper with an expanding effect to decorate the walls. Panoramic images, photo panels with perspective, voluminous 3D wallpaper and pictures with open windows or streets stretching into the distance are suitable.
- Glass panels visually expand the space, diffuse light, reflecting part of the room. You can also rely on some glossy or shiny surfaces in light colors, which also act as light reflectors.
- If it is possible to increase the size of the closet or add another one, do this in order to store bulky items in them and place clothes, shoes, books, sports equipment without cluttering the room with them.
- A large sleeping bed is good, but for a small bedroom it is considered a luxury as it takes up a lot of space and provides a small and cramped space around it. Small beds are comfortable, lighter and look stylish and comfortable.
- It is necessary to take into account that in a small bedroom there is free space under the bed and in the lower part of the closet, and these places are most often empty. Use them wisely, as the space under the bed is ideal for sports equipment or things you rarely use.
- Arranging shelves on the walls to store all kinds of objects and things will free up the room and give it a cleaner and more open look.
- The ceiling is often the most underrated part of a room. Properly selected ceiling decor can make a room appear taller and larger than it actually is. For these purposes, it is advisable to use striped, circular or rectangular structures on the ceiling.
