How to Make Your Small Bedroom Feel Larger

[ad#co-1]

Small Bedrooms Don’t Equal Small Furniture:

One of the biggest mistakes that most people make when decorating small rooms is to clutter it with lots of small pieces. By filling a small room with lots of tiny side tables, skinny little lamps, and small dressers – you are creating a room that feels crowded and even smaller than before.  A small room of any kind needs one or two large pieces of furniture that act as a focal point and make the room actually feel larger! A large armoire is one of the best furniture items to add to your small bedroom space; they give you tons of storage and their height and size draws the eye in and up, making the space feel large.

A small bedroom needs plenty of colors:

Color is your friend no matter how small or large the room is.  The key essential to keep in mind when choosing a color for a small room is to keep your color choices down to one or two main colors for the room – you can’t have a rainbow of colors in a small room without overwhelming the eye. The good news is that you can choose whatever color your heart desires! Choose that vibrant blue or red paint; coat every wall and piece of trim in the color (or two hues of the same color) to make a serene room that your eyes float over. Bright red walls with white trim can be pretty but is better left to larger rooms as it causes a disjointing and makes a room visually smaller.

Small Bedroom seating is still important:

No matter how small, every bedroom should have a nook carved out for reading or relaxing. Add a slipper chair, a reading lamp, and bookcase to create a cozy retreat within your room.

Hopefully, this opens up new possibilities for decorating your small bedroom.  Here’s one more tip: a large, fabric tufted headboard covered in similar hues as the paint color, adds a nice finishing touch to the retreat of your dreams. Happy dreaming!

Nowadays, not everyone has the luxury of having wide areas at home. One of the best solutions for limited home areas is to make use of each of your wall corner at home. Here are some tips on having smart corner ideas:

Plan your design

Consider some factors that will suit your design like dimension, materials and purpose. You also have to take into account the furniture design if it blends with your corners. The measurement or dimension is intended for you to assess the accessibility. Of course, make sure that the corner design serves a purpose like bookshelves, storage, or platform for decorative materials.

Emphasize safety

Clean and clear the area. Remove furniture or things that may cause accident as you do your work. Choose a design or furniture that will not, in any way, block your way or anything that has a sharp edge.

Be resourceful

It doesn’t mean you don’t have to spend money for this project but rather ensure that you make use of the available materials you have in your garage or drawers. If you have a cabinet or box which is empty you can place it in your corners. It’s up to you in what way you can design or position it. What’s important is you will arrange it well
