Having a small bedroom presents some definite design challenges, but they aren’t anything you can get around unless you’re willing to put an addition on your house. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to enhance a small bedroom and make it a stylish place to spend time.
Bold Graphic Designs
You might worry that bold isn’t a good choice, but it can really bring life to a small space. Bright colors help detract from the size of the room and can even make it feel cozy and warm. Try a colorful graphic wallpaper print to bring personality to your bedroom. You can also incorporate bold colors and patterns on bedding and wall art. Just be sure that since the space is so small that everything melds with everything else.
Eye Catching Colors
Much like bold patterns can enhance your small bedroom, so too can colors you normally wouldn’t expect to see in a bedroom. Try a deep purple or gray color or coat your walls in a buttery yellow color. Most experts recommend staying away from really bright colors like red and orange because they aren’t conducive to relaxing, but if you love a color, go for it. The point is to make the room stand out and using color gives it some dimension and depth that you won’t always get with simple white walls.
Bathroom and Bedroom All in One
If you have a small space, consider eliminating excess closet or hall room and using it to create a bathroom that’s attached to your bedroom. This can help the room feel a bit bigger and allows you optimize the square footage that you have without sacrificing the luxuries you want. Make sure that the paint color, wallpaper and decor flow well so the two rooms don’t clash. This way it feels like one large space instead of two very tiny ones. If you consider the bedroom the most important room in the house, you might need to consider moving. Use the mortgage calculator from Habito – it’s free, fast and easy to use, and you could be in your dream home in no time.
Matching Coverlet and Wallpaper
When you have a small room, it can be overwhelming to use too much color and pattern. Matching your bedding with your wallpaper is an easy way to use the design you want without going overboard. You may have special order this matching set, but you can also look for items that are very similar in size and color and match them with each other.
Dramatic Curtains
When you have a small bedroom, you’ve got to make a statement somewhere and the walls are a great blank canvas for doing so. If you’re lucky enough to also have some large windows in your bedroom, dramatic curtains are a great idea. Think ruffles, bold patterns, bright colors or something that shimmers just a little bit. When you hang curtains, those that fall all the way to the floor keep the room from looking cut off and asymmetrical. Be sure you have enough panels to completely cover the windows without leaving any gaps.
