Designing a small bedroom is indeed challenging especially if the home owner demands for big storage spaces. Aside from the space, you also have to think of a good decor and design for it so that it will look relaxing. You wouldn’t want to sleep in a room that seems boxy. Your bedroom is supposed to be your haven from a hard day.
You can create an illusion of space in the bedroom by following the simple things we have below.

| USE SIMPLE COLORS |
The simpler the colors you choose, the bigger your room will look. Colors should be bright. Paint the ceiling with white for it gives a sense of height and space. Do not use dark and bold paint for the ceiling for it will make the room look boxed-in. For the walls, use neutral tones for it will give an illusion of added space. Do not crowd your wall with wall hangings. Leave at least one wall without it to have an impression of space.

| USE SPACE SAVING FURNITURE
Your choice of furniture is very important for it can greatly affect the traffic inside your bedroom. A small bedroom can be furnished using the Asian and Swedish designs. One way is by using a futon which can be converted into a sofa from a bed. It can give more space for you to move around your room. It can also be economical. You may also opt to use a loft bed where there is space under it to move around. Others place a table or a cabinet under it. For a bedside table, you can use a small desk or a convertible work station paired with an acrylic chair to save space.

| ARRANGE FURNITURE FOR GOOD TRAFFIC |
Since you have a small space, place your furniture at the center of the room instead of backing it to the ball, this way, you have a free flow behind and before the furniture. You can place your cabinet or table at the corner. Another option in arranging it is to place it in the corner of your room to give more spaces. Depending on the shape of your room, it is still advisable to keep your furniture close to the wall in order to have more space for you to move around.

Your room is already small and having much clutter will make it look even smaller. Use creative storage spaces by installing a good closet system. Instead of standard dressers and armoires, make use of modular and built in furniture. Extend storage furniture to the ceiling so that you won’t waste any space. Hanging cabinets are also good for saving spaces.
For your bed linens, choose a neat and simple fabric. Choose bright and warm colours. Plain colored fabrics for your bed linens and curtains would work well for your small room. Do not use fabric with large patterns and bold colours for it looks bulky and heavy to the eyes.
Learn how to keep things well for it will greatly help to make the room look big. Clutter will only make the room look crowded. Hide your magazines, books and others by having a skirted bedside table. You can also place storage bins under your bed and hide them with a bed skirt. A neat room looks small, too.
