Sometimes decorating a small space can feel just as daunting as decorating a large one. For those with small bedrooms, it can be especially difficult to find a balance between decoration and maximizing available space. Luckily, there are some ways you can make a small bedroom feel bigger while adding style at the same time. Here are some tips for decorating small bedrooms:
You might be surprised how much space even a simple bed frame can take up. If your bed has a headboard, there might be entire extra feet of space being wasted. If you’re wanting a way to make the room feel bigger and also give your bed a fresh look, opt for a low-profile bed frame with no headboard or footboard. Low platform beds are perfect for this idea and sometimes award the opportunity for hidden storage beneath. With the headboard out of the picture you’ll have more room to maneuver around the bed as well as free wall space for art and other decor. If the wall feels too bare, try hanging a rug or macrame tapestry for a cozy feel.
When you’re working with a small amount of space, it’s crucial that every piece serves a purpose—or more than one. This is where furnishings and features like storage seating, wall shelving and hidden drawers come into play. If you have the opportunity for extra storage in any piece of furniture, take full advantage of it to save space. If you want a bench at the foot of the bed, opt for a storage chest and top it with a comfy throw blanket. Vanities with built-in shelves and drawers for small personal items will help you avoid surface clutter and adding floating shelves and wall hooks for storage and display will keep the entire room feeling open and relaxing.
While bedroom decor is a perfect way to express your personal style, you can easily overwhelm a small bedroom with too much pattern. Mixed patterns or an abundance of bold, graphic prints can make the room appear smaller by cluttering the view. If you love a specific fabric print or motif, use it for accents instead of the foundation. Choosing the same color palette as your favorite patterned pillow cases or throws will make the decor cohesive and give you an opportunity to experiment with vibrant colors. Patterns and prints can be excellent additions to any room’s decor, but be wary of making your small bedroom feel too busy.
There are many ways to make small rooms appear larger and these are just a few ideas to use in decorating a bedroom. As long as you pay attention to furniture scale you will avoid any major space issues. However, little tricks like swapping the headboard for wall art or opting for furniture with hidden storage will maximize the space and give you more options to let your creativity flourish in other aspects of decorating.
Welcome to Long Island Living at its best! The South Shore of Suffolk County is a suburban area that runs along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in this area consist of primarily residential properties. This area tends to be diverse in culture and income as it varies by hamlet, village or town. Residents along the South Shore have access to many beaches, parks and recreational activities. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, hard work and personal service. My first career was in education, starting as a teacher then finishing as a guidance counselor and achieving my Master’s and two PD's. In 1986, I began my real estate career. In a sense, I am still an educator and offering guidance; this time I am outside of the classroom educating my clients on the selling and purchasing processes; which have become so complicated recently and guiding them safely through the confusing and ever-changing real estate market. It is very satisfying to me to help people with not only the greatest financial asset in their lives but their greatest emotional asset; where they celebrate holidays, raise their families and live their lives. I take the needs of my clients very seriously and as a result, I am proud to say, over 90% of my sales are the result of referrals and recommendations. Primarily, my areas of service are the Townships of Babylon and Islip on Long Island’s beautiful South Shore, near pristine beaches and wonderful boating, yet only 55 minutes from Manhattan; truly the best of both worlds.
