Decorating the interior of a small room in some cases is quite difficult, since it is necessary not only to take into account all the necessary functional details, but also to save free space as much as possible. Thinking through the design of a small bedroom is even more difficult, because in a small room you have to solve many issues - for example, those related to sleeping places and storage. It is worth figuring out how to most successfully think over the details of the interior, while leaving the room as spacious as possible.

Peculiarities
The bedroom should be multifunctional, so it is impossible to place only one bed in the room, being content only with a sleeping place. It is best that the room has a number of functional features.
Thanks to this, it will become the most convenient for living:
- Such a room is intended for sleep and relaxation, but it is very good if it is light and fresh enough in it. When arranging furniture, you should not clutter up window spaces and place bulky products next to them that prevent natural light from entering the room.
- Given the space of a small room, it is not recommended to choose bulky large-sized furniture. She visually "eats" all the free space, and the bedroom will lose the atmosphere of comfort.
- If there is a controversial issue regarding the purchase of more massive wardrobes and saving on a sleeping place, buying a folding sofa - or choosing a full-fledged bed and small storage systems, you should not save on the quality of sleep. Pay attention to the quality bed with orthopedic mattress.
- For a small bedroom, a very smart decision would be to purchase a bed with a lifting mechanism. The lower part of such a piece of furniture is a spacious drawer that will serve as an additional (and quite roomy) storage space.
- A small bedroom will always need a visual correction of space. Best of all, mirror surfaces will help in this matter. These can be, for example, decorative wall panels, glossy cabinet doors and shelf surfaces, suspended or stretch ceilings with a glossy effect.
- The peculiarity of a small bedroom lies in the fact that you can fill the interior with unusual products. An excellent solution would be a loft bed with a workplace, a hidden bed that, when folded, turns into a modular wardrobe surface, as well as a model with built-in drawers.
- A small bedroom will look much cozier if you complement it with various stylish accessories. Pillows with knitted pillowcases and matching throws, light curtains with not-so-pretentious night curtains and small vases with dried Provence herbs are a great decor for such a room.
We take into account the shape of the room
Of course, when planning the design of a small bedroom, you must definitely take into account the shape of the room. Sometimes it depends on her how functional the room will be, how harmonious the placement of furniture will turn out, how cozy the atmosphere will reign in the interior.
A rectangular room may not always be functional, since small sizes reduce the possibility of placing a high-quality double bed and ample storage space in it.
Let us consider in more detail the options for planning a small rectangular room:
- A good option would be to place a modular set of furniture in the room with a built-in hidden bed, which unfolds when the frame is raised and lowered. The bed is equipped with an ordinary orthopedic mattress, so it will be quite comfortable to sleep on it. The advantage of such a kit is that it takes up very little space, while being very functional.
- For a small rectangular room, a bed with built-in drawers is suitable. Such a product solves some issues related to storage, so only a small cabinet and a neat coffee table can be placed in the room.
- A loft bed, located in the side part near the window, will be an ideal option for sleeping in such a room. If there is no need for a working area, then a small chair and a low bookshelf can be placed at the bottom of such furniture. Such a cozy corner will be a great option for evening leisure, and the location near the window gives the advantage of watching the lights of the evening city.
A square room has its own characteristics, so the process of arranging it will be easier, and in some cases even more enjoyable.
Let's take a closer look at some design options and furniture placement in a small square bedroom:
- A square bedroom has the advantage that the bed in such a room can be placed by the window, placing the headboard against the wall where the window is located. Small but tall cabinets will look good on the sides of the bed. Typically, such models are roomy, so the issue related to the storage of various things will be resolved. Against the wall opposite the bed, you can place a small dressing table or a small cozy chair.
- If there is a need to place the bed against the wall, it is worth using one of the side walls for this. So the bed will be turned sideways to the window, but the sunlight will still fall on it at certain hours - depending on the time of day.
- If you need to change the bed to a sofa, if the room should be not only a bedroom, but also a room for personal home leisure. In this case, you should not choose a too bulky model of the product, as it will only spoil the interior. It is better to pay attention to small sofas, which are perfectly located opposite the wardrobe and desk, TV.
Popular styles
Of course, much depends on the style in which the room is decorated. Sometimes some features of a particular style are quite strongly reflected in the visual perception of the room and radically change it.

Consider the most popular styles and their main features:
High tech
This style is characterized by the predominance of a large amount of free space, but not everyone knows how it is possible to organize this in a very small bedroom. The task seems unsolvable, but it is not, because it is quite simple to bring the idea to life.
The main tool for visual adjustment of space in this case will be a game of contrasts, as well as the selection of suitable lighting. This style is characterized by the use of predominantly light shades in the design, which are only slightly diluted with dark details. All these tricks will help make the room more spacious.
Oriental
It will be very difficult to equip an oriental-style bedroom in a small room, since its concept involves the use of albeit “airy”, but at the same time rather massive decorative elements. They will not decorate the room, but only “eat up” the free space, making it uncomfortable.
You can get out of the situation quite simply by using only a small part of the decorative elements. Oriental-style wallpaper can be placed on one of the walls, forming it into a kind of decorative panel. Textile details are also suitable - blankets and pillows, as well as appropriate decorations for lamps.
Country
This style is something special, unusual - and at the same time cozy. Among the characteristic features of this style, one of the most striking features can be noted - classic wallpapers are very rarely used for wall decor, usually the surface is covered with thin wood or decorated with small wooden details.
As for furniture - country accepts the most comfortable models. Bedroom products made of solid wood, as well as various decorative wicker elements, will ideally fit into the interior.
Arab
An Arabic-style bedroom (even the smallest one) can become a real fabulous place to relax for royalty. Even when using inexpensive materials (in minimal quantities), the room still looks mesmerizingly luxurious.
If you decide to design a small bedroom in this style, you should follow some recommendations. If possible, it is worth using arched elements, Persian floor carpets, elegant canopies, decorative pillows in large quantities, as well as various decorative elements - stained glass windows, geometric and floral prints.
Color solutions
An important role in the design of a small bedroom is also played by the color scheme.
It's no secret that a room seems more spacious if it was decorated mainly with light shades. However, not everyone will be happy with this decision.
Let's take a closer look at how to choose the right color combinations so that the design does not adversely affect the interior space, and also get acquainted with the most popular bedroom design ideas.

It's amazing how fast fashion trends change. Until recently, gloomy tones did not seem so attractive, but this season the design of the bedroom in shades of gray is at the peak of its popularity. The design in the “gradient” style looks especially elegant and sophisticated, in which the walls are decorated in the form of a smooth transition from light to darker shades.
Dark blue bedroom will not look very attractive, since the abundance of this color in the interior can cause discomfort. Designers advise to combine it with lighter, warmer shades: white, light yellow, soft lilac, pale blue.
plain turquoise bedroom rarely does anyone like it. This shade can visually make the room even smaller, so interior design experts advise diluting it with white or light blue.
Room decoration in white, of course, will have a beneficial effect on space, but it can get boring. If the walls and ceiling of your bedroom are decorated in white, you should choose furniture and flooring in darker shades that go well with each other.
Black and white bedroom will look very good - especially if the predominant shade is white. Black color is ideal for highlighting details and emphasizing the advantages of the room.
Small bedrooms also look beautiful, the interior of which uses green, red, lilac, beige and purple shades. However, you should be careful not to overdo it with bright colors. It is recommended to combine them with paler tones - to create a harmonious picture.
Interior design and decor
Decorating the interior on your own is sometimes quite difficult, because in the process there are many nuances and questions that only specialists can solve. To facilitate an independent solution to the issue regarding the design of a small bedroom, it is worth studying the list of the most popular finishing materials used to create a stylish interior.
Walls
The classic wall decoration with wallpaper can be a little boring, but it is not always easy to find a replacement that is just as attractive in price, but much more spectacular and unusual. This problem can be solved faster than it seems by choosing photo wallpapers or textured canvases for painting. So you can give the walls the desired shade and apply any print.
In some cases, ceiling moldings are great for bedroom wall design. The decor of a round shape with a recess will help to visually smooth out the sharp corners of the room and make it more spacious. In addition, this decor on the walls looks very unusual and stylish.
Eco-style wall decoration has become an incredibly popular new trend. It is noteworthy that cork panels are used for the design of such a bedroom, which not only look beautiful, but are also very functional, protecting the surface of the walls from high humidity and mechanical damage.
A very unusual design solution is to decorate the bedroom with ordinary newspapers. Since they are very thin and become translucent when wet, you should first paint the wall white, and after gluing the newspapers, you need to cover the surface with several layers of protective varnish.
Very often, wooden panels are used for wall decor, the surface of which is an imitation of a bar. This decor looks very interesting, it is ideal for decorating a bedroom in rustic and country styles.
In some interiors, walls are decorated with large and small stones. This design solution looks incredibly stylish, but it will not be appropriate in every room. Stone decoration is not suitable for a small bedroom, as the space is somewhat "eaten up".
To visually enlarge the space, mirror and glass elements are used for wall decor. Walls, various elements of the interior are reflected in the glossy surface, which creates the impression of a much larger space than it really is.
Plasterboard constructions, various volumetric panels and numerous frames for pictures and photos can be called very beautiful and interesting. However, be careful, as the abundance of such voluminous decor can negatively affect the space of an already small bedroom.
Floor and ceiling
Of course, the decor of the walls in the interior of the bedroom is important, but it is nothing without the appropriate floor and ceiling finishes. Consider the most popular, profitable and practical options for finishing ceilings and floors, as well as the most interesting design solutions.
To finish the surface of the ceiling create a variety of materials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Suspended ceilings look quite impressive, but they negatively affect the space of a small room, but a small plasterboard ceiling niche will be just right.
Stretch glossy canvases would be an excellent option, but their features should be taken into account. One of these features is that a dark glossy ceiling has an overly strong glossy effect, so the environment will be reflected especially well in it.
It is better to opt for white products - rather restrained and sophisticated.
Ceilings are often painted, whitewashed, many use finishing plaster for their decor. Since these materials may not be durable enough, certain rules should be followed during work, using special solutions, a primer, tools, and following a certain sequence of actions.
Floor finishing should be given special attention, since it is not only a decorative component of the entire interior, but also the part of the room that is most exposed to stress. It is on the floor that people move every day. All pieces of furniture are also placed on it, while being not the easiest.
A solid and reliable floor covering can be safely called a parquet board, which fits perfectly into any design. Parquet is a natural material, hypoallergenic and completely safe for health. The varnished surface of the parquet board will last for many years.
Coatings such as linoleum and laminate have many advantages. Among the advantages, one can note the favorable cost and ease of installation, but a rather serious drawback may be that these coatings are not so durable, since traces often appear from heavy furniture.
In addition, for the bedroom it is quite advisable to use ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware. The advantage of the material is that it is incredibly strong, wear-resistant and durable. The disadvantages include the fact that the surface is cold and poorly heated from warm room air, so it may be necessary to lay heating mats under the coating itself.
Light
Bedroom lighting is a very important detail, since it should not only be as functional as possible, but also well thought out - in terms of visual expansion of space. Let's take a closer look at how best to place light sources in a small bedroom.
photos
It is best that a small bedroom be equipped with several light sources, each of which performs a specific function. Ceiling lighting alone is not enough for even the smallest room, as this can cause some inconvenience.
For example, if there are two people in the bedroom, one of whom wants to fall asleep and the other wants to read, the use of ceiling lighting may not be possible. In this case, bedside lamps will help to solve the problem, which can be placed on both sides on the wall or on two bedside tables.
Bedside lamps should be small. The light is not too bright, but it should be enough so that some space near the head of the bed is illuminated, as well as so that the pages of the book are well lit - in the case of reading before bedtime.
Bedside lamps will be very convenient if the ceiling fixture switch is located by the door. To turn off the light, you do not have to get out of a warm bed - it will be enough just to press the lamp button.
This item may be insignificant if the ceiling light is equipped with a remote control. In this case, it will be very easy to turn it on and off if necessary, while remaining in its place.
To make the room seem more spacious, you should not use a central point for ceiling lighting, because in this case some corners may not be covered - they will remain dark. It is better to place spotlights around the perimeter of the entire ceiling. The light will diffuse, illuminating both the corners and the central part of the room.
How to arrange furniture?
To create a complete picture of the interior, it is not enough just to decorate the walls, floor and ceiling. It is also necessary to choose the right furniture and arrange it correctly. This is especially difficult to do in a small room, as there is a rather serious risk of cluttering it up.
For example, for a small bedroom it would be inappropriate to purchase a wardrobe that is too large, since the space of the room does not allow this. A small compact rectangular model is suitable, or a larger product - with corner placement, which is the most practical.
Modular furniture will look very harmonious, including a bed, candle cabinets or bedside tables located on the sides. This option is the most suitable, because it allows you to place all the necessary items, but the space is not cluttered.
The podium bed, located on a certain elevation, looks very stylish and modern. But such a solution for a bed in a small room will not be very practical, unless the podium is a functional part and is not equipped with built-in drawers. In this case, the podium bed also becomes an additional storage space.
Bedside tables in the bedroom do not have to be located near the bed, as it is customary only in the classic version of the interior. If there is an armchair in the room, a nightstand can be quite successfully placed near it.
If space allows, you can place a computer desk near the window in the bedroom. However, it is not recommended to leave it unseparated, it is better to divide the room into zones, using small racks for this. So the sleeping place will be separated from the working area.
Accessories
Of course, no interior will look cozy without the addition of appropriate accessories. It is small details that bring the final decorative touches to the atmosphere, helping the design of the room to look more holistic and complete.
Let's take a closer look at which accessories will be most relevant for a small bedroom, and which ones are better to refuse.
photos
The most obvious and common decor for any room (not just the bedroom) are curtains, but not every variety is suitable for a small room. Designers are advised to abandon too heavy night curtains from expensive canvases. Classic sets of light tulle and dense products are suitable, dimming the street light, but not overloading the interior.
Window accessories also include such an element as a lambrequin, which is often part of a curtain set. Often this element is part of a classic interior, but due to massive folds and frills, it can quite overload a small bedroom.
A very interesting decorative element for the bedroom can be a fireplace. It should be noted right away that the classic model with brickwork will not be very appropriate, since it takes up a lot of space and is not suitable for an apartment. However, it is quite possible to choose a decorative electric mini-fireplace.
The functional component of the room can also act as a decor - for example, lamps, chandeliers. Decorative lighting points selected in the same style will not only attract attention, but will also help to revive even the most boring interior.
It is worth experimenting, "playing" with a mixture of details, different styles.
It so happened that the smallest room in an apartment or house is usually reserved for the bedroom. Perhaps this is quite logical - physical activity is minimal here and extra space is useless.
But with a competent approach to planning, the right choice of style and color scheme, you can create not only a comfortable area for sleeping and relaxing. A well-thought-out design of a small bedroom will allow you to place a workplace or even a home theater here.
Stage One: Planning
In conditions of shortage of space, every square centimeter is important. Therefore, the process of creating an interior begins with taking measurements and preparing a sketch. There are many computer applications for planning and placing furniture.
Most of the programs are free, and their development is not difficult. A little time and imagination - and at the end you can create a three-dimensional model of the room with arranged furniture and decor.
If it is not possible to complete the project in the application, it is advisable to draw a plan with dimensions by hand. So it will be possible to visually evaluate all the pros and cons of the layout.
To expand the space of a very small bedroom, you can add a loggia or balcony to its area. This idea is far from budgetary, since it will be necessary to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling, and possibly replace the double-glazed windows.
But as a result, in the bedroom appear:
- additional square meters;
- sufficient illumination;
- the ability to organize a recreation area or equip a workplace.
The pattern of the wallpaper, moving on to curtains and textiles, gives the atmosphere originality and integrity.
A light openwork chandelier and a sconce above the bedside tables will complement the interior and decorate the room. Organically fit into the decor 2-3 flowerpots with flowers, placed in different parts of the room. Skillfully executed design in the style of Provence - and the bedroom in an ordinary apartment becomes like a room in an old country mansion.
Minimalism
Distinctive features of this style:
- simplicity;
- conciseness;
- high functionality;
- minimum things, maximum free space.
The color scheme provides for the use of no more than three colors, the brightest of which fills a minimum of space. Beige and pastel shades are used as basic colors, bright red, blue, and blue become accents.
Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
The walls are pasted over with wallpaper without a pattern or painted in one tone. To revitalize the interior, you can finish the wall or part of it with stone or wood. Simplicity is also welcomed in the design of ceilings. Do not perform complex multi-level structures.
Paintings, floor lamps and lamps, decor items are used to a minimum. Of the furniture, they also leave only the most necessary, giving preference to space. Do not be afraid that the interior in a modern style will be boring. Playing with contrasts will make the design of the bedroom lively and dynamic.
The main element will be a bed with a massive headboard made of expensive wood. In combination with it, all the rest of the furniture is selected. If the area allows, you can place a secretary or a small bookcase with editions in antique bindings in the bedroom. The main source of light in the evening and at the same time an outstanding accent will be a massive chandelier with many decorative elements.
The choice of textiles will continue the trend of luxury in the setting. Heavy patterned curtains, bedspreads and pillows in light and golden hues complement the classic interior and give it completeness.
In the whole setting, carelessness and incompleteness should be felt. At the same time, the design is thought out to the smallest detail, and the finishing materials and furniture must be of high quality and solid.
The interior color scheme for a small loft-style bedroom is chosen in light shades. On the wall at the head, you can imitate the laying of burnt bricks or light shades, paint the ceiling in white or beige. To decorate a window, instead of tulle and curtains, it is better to use roller blinds.
This style is perfect for both adults and youth and teenage bedrooms. Passion for creativity must certainly be reflected in the appearance of the room. If this is drawing, the easel can become the central accent of the interior.
On a deliberately rough wall decoration, the works of a novice artist in strict frames will look stylish. The combination of the incongruous is another feature of the loft.
Musical instruments can also be a stylish design element. Electric guitars can be hung on the wall or placed around the room, and music books can be placed on open shelves. Posters with portraits of your favorite musicians will complement the creative interior.
Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.
The central element of a high-tech bedroom can be a modern LED TV and audio system. Also, with sufficient space, a workplace with a computer will fit perfectly into this room.
Around the wall on which the TV is placed, the main plot of the interior is twisted. Here are the most daring design solutions:
- Decoration with 3D panels. This technique will give the wall a three-dimensional texture. The built-in TV will look advantageous on a contrasting surface: if the case is dark, the wall design should be light and vice versa.
- Tree. An original and at the same time very budget option is to finish the wall with a laminate along the guides. In this design, you can hide the wires and fasteners.
- A rock. The design of the wall "under the brick" will add texture to the interior and optically highlight the TV.
- Metal. The most unusual wall cladding option, but at the same time the most suitable for high-tech style. Reflective metal surfaces will add volume to the room, plus such a coating is original in itself.
So that the abundance of white does not turn the room into a kind of hospital ward, contrasting combinations are actively used. A floor made of whitewashed boards can serve as a backdrop for furniture.
On the walls covered with light plaster, inserts are made of natural wood, stone of darker tones, fur. Another way to play with contrasts in Scandinavian style is to dilute a calm interior with brighter textiles and geometric patterned carpets.
Finishing the wall at the head of the bed, passing to the ceiling, will visually expand the narrow room. This design is made of boards or wooden panels a few tones darker than the main wall.
Furniture items must comply with the overall strict style. They are selected in a concise form, without pretentious elements. In square rooms, it is desirable to move the bed from the center, thereby balancing the interior. You should also not abuse decor items: a couple of stylish lamps, a few figurines and living plants are enough.
In addition, light colors will visually enlarge the space. Painting the walls and ceiling in one shade will erase the boundaries between the planes and add volume to the bedroom.
In general, you should not overload the surface finish with a variety of shades. The calmer the palette, the better. The role of textural and color accents will be taken by textiles and bright decor items.
However, for active and dynamic natures, such a decision may seem boring. The use of bright colors in the design of a small bedroom is acceptable.
One or two walls can be painted in bright colors:
- lemon and sand will make the room warm and sunny;
- lilac and blue will wrap in a light haze;
- light green will calm and give freshness.
Materials for finishing the ceiling, walls and floor
Their choice mainly depends on the style orientation of the interior. But the general recommendations are the same for all options: preference is given to natural materials of calm light shades.
- Ceiling. The most budgetary and optimal performance is a glossy stretch fabric. With the right choice of material and shade, the bedroom will receive the effect of reflection and additional space. An alternative to a stretch ceiling is a suspended one-level plasterboard with built-in lights, painted in soothing colors.
About a third of our life we spend in a dream. If it takes less time, then in the remaining period of time we dream of getting enough sleep. And for this reason, each of us tries to equip a place to sleep so that it is always cozy, comfortable and easy to fall asleep there.
No matter how modest our accommodation may be, there is always a place for a bed in it. And this means that the design of even the smallest bedroom must perform several very important functions. One of which is healthy sleep.
And at the same time, the bedroom for most of us also becomes an office, workshop, studio, boudoir, and also includes not only a bed, but also a desk or computer desk, work surfaces, all kinds of wall appliances and, of course, wardrobes. to store things. Because our already small bedrooms seem even smaller than they are.
Interiors of small rooms: ideas
Unfortunately, small bedrooms are a common occurrence in small apartments, popularly called Khrushchevs. And that is why most of us are faced with the problem of arranging such a small room, where every square meter counts. Therefore, the question of the optimal and optional interior in these rooms is more acute than in any other.
Although not only in Khrushchev there are small bedrooms. After all, such premises can be located in the attic or in a country house. They can be guest or non-main rooms, provided as additional places to sleep. But this does not mean that they should be given less attention. After all, every room in our home is a reflection of our soul. And if you have the opportunity to make it more cheerful and pleasant - do it.
To begin with, it is worth looking at the original layout of the existing bedroom in order to understand what are its main advantages and what are the disadvantages. So, by playing on the strengths and hiding the weaknesses, we can create the perfect design even in a room with an area of 10 square meters. m.!
And it doesn’t matter which room you got - with two windows or no window at all, with hidden spaces in the form of a niche that can give 5 square meters. m. over the available area, or an empty, but regular square. Any bedroom can be made cozy and comfortable. The main thing is to want.
How to arrange?
The main rule in arranging small bedrooms is the principle of decluttering. After all, the more the room is forced, the cramped it will be. And if, looking around the walls and floor in your bedroom, you did not see a single free space or baseboard, then you will never feel comfortable in such a room.
Therefore, give up bulky furniture, decorative trifles, as well as additional storage that takes up a lot of space. Small rooms do not tolerate a large number of useful, but large interior items. After all, this is how they turn from a bedroom into a closet, where sometimes you can lie down for a minute and breathe in the dusty air, and not fully relax after a hard day's work.
In addition, many of us try to combine them with the office, so that we can always return to work after sleep without being distracted by other trifles.
Every thing in a small bedroom should be in its place. And if you are thinking about its most comfortable arrangement, start by purchasing multifunctional furniture.
Beds with drawers for storing linen, chests of drawers and deep baskets, hanging shelves and a small but spacious closet - all this will free the surface from decorative trifles that create "creative mess" and imaginary comfort in the room. And they will artificially expand the space, making the bedroom freer and brighter.
So opt for built-in shelving, tables with extra shelves, furniture with drawers and baskets to keep things, linens, and small devices like phone chargers out of sight.
But don't overcrowd the room with non-sleep items. After all, armchairs, chairs, bookshelves and various decorative elements will again bring back the tightness of the room, in which it should be easy to breathe. However, you should not go to extremes of excessive minimalism either. This will not give the room any charm or real home comfort. Look for your golden mean between functional furniture and a small set of trifles pleasing to the heart.
Color solutions
Color plays an important role in expanding the space and creating coziness in a small bedroom. And this is not surprising, because a bright room, no matter how small it may be, will seem more spacious.
Therefore, give preference to white, beige and pastel colors, which will visually expand the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, filling it with plenty of light. Brown colors will also look advantageous on the walls, imitation of natural wood, leather or skins will give the room a special ethnic charm.
But if you think that your bedroom is doomed to easily soiled colors, then we are in a hurry to cheer you up. After all, this is the simplest, but not the only solution to make a small room cozy and loved.
Bright and bold shades will give the room no less space and light. And the use of combined wallpapers, where one wall will be executed in turquoise or blue, for example, tones, and others in more muted shades will also expand the space and give a healthy and pleasant sleep. The main thing is the right combination of colors and their location. For example, a great solution would be to finish the panel above the bed with wallpaper with a large pattern or a bright print, and in addition to them, pick up plain companion wallpapers to give the interior dynamics.
If we have convinced you that only light or bright colors will create enough space and comfort in the room, then we hasten to retreat with the proposal to paint the walls in something darker. After all, a bedroom in gray tones will not yield to bright rooms in terms of visual increase in space, but rather, it will put it in a more advantageous light.
As practice shows, the dark color perfectly conceals corners and dissolves boundaries, creating a chamber atmosphere. And therefore, do not be afraid to use color schemes such as dark gray, blue or brown in your bedrooms. They will allow you to give the room its own special comfort and spaciousness.
Although if you doubt that a dark solution will suit you, then try a more democratic approach - make only one wall contrast. And so you will be able to artificially increase the space without giving up the most necessary pieces of furniture.
Do not forget that not only the walls play a special role in the color scheme of small bedrooms. The floor and ceiling are also important. Therefore, give preference to the same colors that you have chosen for the walls. This way you can remove the sharp transition and oppressive feeling (especially felt in rooms with low ceilings).
Decor
No matter how small the room is, the decor can transform it and put it in a winning light, if you approach this issue correctly.
But do not forget the main rule for the design of small bedrooms - everything should be not only beautiful, but also optional. Therefore, if you want to decorate the room as organically as possible, give preference not only to cute gizmos, but also to really useful ones.
Of course, we do not force you to give up your favorite paintings, posters or large photographs, but we encourage you to post them correctly. After all, by hanging a large image at the head of the bed, you can make it a focal point, diverting attention from the small area of \u200b\u200bthe room itself.
Light also plays an important role. And therefore, try to adhere to the rule of three-level lighting - general, decorative and applied. So, to help spotlights and chandeliers located on the ceiling, connect floor lamps and nightlights to illuminate the walls, and also do not forget about table lamps that serve as assistants on desktops.

How to visually enlarge the space?
A small bedroom is not a sentence, but special conditions for testing your capabilities and designer vein. Therefore, entering the classic Khrushchev, where there is a struggle for every free square meter, do not give up.
The layout itself can tell you a lot of great solutions on how to design a room so that it is pleasant to be in it and not feel the eternal pressure of the walls. Even if you have chosen a room with a balcony, a niche or other hidden spaces for the bedroom, then you have already taken a step forward to your own bright and comfortable sleeping area.
After all, by placing the bed in a niche and painting it in contrasting light, you will be able to give the whole room depth and the desired volume. And by insulating the balcony, you will be able to carve out a couple more additional square meters in favor of the room.
Wall murals will also help visually enlarge the bedroom, since choosing calm urban and wild landscapes, large flowers or just a haze hanging over the field, you will expand the space of the room without putting much effort into it.
Another tricky move, mandatory for use in small bedrooms, is the use of mirrors in the design of individual sections and even entire walls. After all, they do an excellent job with the main task that faces us - visually expand the boundaries and increase the available space. And no matter what you choose - a free-standing large mirror, mirrored panels on the sides of the bed, or an entire headboard - any of these solutions will put the room in a winning light.
By the way, mirrors not only artificially make the bedroom larger, and the ceilings are higher, but also perfectly hide hidden cabinets along the wall, shelves and other everyday items that usually spoil the overall look of the room.
Low ceilings will also not be able to stop you from trying to make the room more spacious. Just when choosing a bed, give preference to lower models, for example, in the Japanese style. So you artificially raise the ceiling without resorting to the services of architects and builders. And it will make the bedroom even brighter and bigger.
Suitable styles
Do not forget that the style of the bedroom also affects its comfort and convenience for sleeping. Therefore, not everything that is suitable for large spacious rooms will look advantageous and give you pleasure in small areas.
As we have already said, white is a universal solution for those who want to make an island of comfort and blissful sleep out of a tiny bedroom. And most often it is combined with the hi-tech style that is gaining more and more popularity. After all, the minimalism of things and colors is an ideal and simple combination that is not difficult and pleasant to implement.
Although the white color exudes not only spaciousness, but also coolness, therefore many people try to abandon it in favor of the greater comfort that has come to us from the West. So, a bedroom decorated in a rustic or shabby chic style, made in soft, pastel colors and complemented by small scuffs or, at first glance, bulky furniture, makes the room warmer and more pleasant for people with a subtle mental attitude.
If you are limited not only by the area, but also by finances, but want to squeeze the maximum benefit and comfort out of every square meter, then you should think about decorating a bed in the Ikea style. Blowing up the world with bold designs within any budget, this Swedish furniture factory is a great solution for those who are ready to try something new, but stay true to environmentally friendly and durable furniture.

And their airy beds with practical drawers for storing things, shelving with varying height of shelves, cunning cabinets with a dozen hidden shelves will be great helpers in repairing and changing the interior towards space and light. However, charming decorative baskets in which you can hide little things, roomy pouffes and bedside tables with a secret will also become not only a wonderful decor, but also a practical addition to the room.

Still, style is not the main thing. Although it plays a special role for those who still cannot quickly navigate the news or have not decided what, besides space, they want to see in their bedroom. Our main goal is a simple, cozy and comfortable room where it will be pleasant to sleep, create and live.
And therefore, each bedroom needs an individual approach that creates not only an atmosphere, but also emphasizes the character of its owners. And for this we need all the methods and tools that are subject to us.
Another difficulty in decorating a small bedroom can be its shape. So, in old buildings, more often than others, there are rectangular rooms allocated for sleeping rooms. And in a narrow room it is more difficult to organize space competently and ergonomically than in a square one. Therefore, it is worth adhering to certain rules that were invented long before us and have been rethought in our days.
So, modern designers recommend trying something new by placing the bed headboard not against the wall, as has been traditionally done for many years, but by the window. This bold decision will save enough space and will delight you with a sunny awakening day after day.
The small size of the bedroom is not an obstacle to its beautiful design and the implementation of interesting design solutions. A variety of textures and colors of modern finishing materials create many possibilities. The interior of a small bedroom can look stylish and unusual if you choose the right furniture and think over the decor.

Furniture
To avoid cluttering the space of a small room, you need to use a minimum of furniture. Beds without legs look smaller and more compact. Be sure to create additional storage space, drawers will be relevant.
Among the design novelties for a small bedroom, transforming furniture can be noted - most often, a bed. It can be hidden so that no one will suspect the presence of a sleeping place in the room.
There are double beds that transform into a closed wardrobe. Single beds, stacked horizontally, turn into a shelf or work desk.
Transforming furniture can transform a small-square bedroom space, making it comfortable to live in. One of the simplest options is a sofa bed. Now on sale there are already models that can easily transform into a bunk bed.
The bed is located in the center of the room. She is given a place against the wall, the rest of the furniture is installed around the perimeter. If there is also an armchair in the room, it should not be too bulky and take up a minimum of space. A closet in a small bedroom needs to be selected compact and roomy. Usually these are various variations of the wardrobe.
wall decoration
To visually expand the space, it is better to opt for light pastel shades. In addition, in the interior of the bedroom, they will contribute to relaxation and rest. Vertical stripes on the wallpaper will visually increase the height of the room.
You can also achieve the effect of enlarging the room with the help of wallpaper with a three-dimensional texture - the play of light and shadow on them will create a three-dimensional effect.
Wall murals that have a pattern in the form of a path in the forest, mountains and skyscrapers with perspectives that go deeper will also create the impression of a larger volume.
window decoration
Window decoration will require serious attention. A small stylish bedroom cannot do without beautiful curtains. It is better if their length is up to the floor. A wide window will need wall-length curtains, which will be gathered in small soft folds.
The ceiling cornice should not be too massive so that the feeling of lightness and spaciousness is maintained. When choosing the material and texture of the curtains, you need to focus on the overall style of the room.
Let's say a not too catchy pattern, but only if there is no pattern on the wallpaper. Natural fabrics, simplicity and lightness are welcome. Curtains should let in a lot of light.
Use of mirrors and lighting
The reflective effect of mirrors has long been successfully used in the design of small rooms. Proper use of mirrors in the interior will significantly add volume to the room.
An interesting and frequent option for the location of the mirror is above the bed. Small mirror inserts in the cabinet doors look great. Mirrors in the form of crumbs can be present in wall panels and picture frames. Refraction of light on them will create a very interesting effect.
Given the purpose of the room, the lighting should be soft, diffused. It is not necessary to use the central light in the form of chandeliers.
A sufficient number of spotlights will quite cope with this task. By placing them in levels, or by building them into the ceiling, you can achieve the desired result.
Small sconces and lamps at the head of the bed will complement the interior well, making it more comfortable. In addition, with their help, the room is easily delimited into zones for sleeping and daytime activities.
