Today as the space is becoming an issue in bigger cities and now even in the smaller cities the size of the bedroom is also reducing. However, there are ways in which you can make your small bedroom look bigger. These are just the ideas taking into consideration the design, scale, and arrangement. Just following these simple tips you can make your small bedroom look bigger.
1. Do not paint your room with dark colours such as red or black. By using a dark paint you will allow the paint to absorb light. Go for lighter tones like light blue or off white or cream. They will keep your mood lighter and provide a more fresh and airy experience.
2. Get rid of all the furniture items that you don’t need. Sometimes whenever we walk past the furniture shop we think that we need a piece of furniture. When in fact our closets at home are half empty. Do not clutter your bedroom. Think if you need that extra side table. It is though nice to have more things but in fact they are just taking up space and increasing your effort to clean it.
3. Since your bedroom is really small and you are getting rid of all those useless items try having one bold wall art instead of numerous photos. That one bold wall art will bring attention to the wall and avoid cluttering.
4. If you want your small bedroom to appear bigger go for low heighted furniture. It’s always a good idea to stay away from tables that are tall for your small bedroom. Keeping low to the ground will make ceiling appear cleaner and wider. You can also try using a mattress since a mattress can be easily placed inside the closet when not in use. This will create a lot of space when you are not sleeping. By keeping the bed on the ground you have the ceiling look more spacious.
5. Even though you may be liking lamps, don’t buy the ones with biggest frame. Small decent table lamps will work just fine. Instead of having floor lamps get table lamps. This will save the floor space for you.
6. Try keeping the transparent furniture. Just like you kept your walls light, try keeping furniture that is too dark or bulky. Even though it will take the same space but it will make the space look big.
7. The head board behind our bed hardly comes in use. Remove the headboard and add shelves around the bed. Shelving increases the space that you have in your bedroom. You can also have built in shelf panels around the bed. This will create the illusion of depth in the wall, which you can use to keep your stuff.
8. Instead of having a mirror for dressing up you can have a mirror at the back of the closet. It will save a lot of space. In small bedrooms it is a better idea to hang mirrors instead of photo frames. The mirrors will add to the aesthetics of your small bedroom and also prove useful.
9. If you have a small space, it is better to use foldable furniture. They can be folded and expanded, for example the sofa cum bed. They do not use too much space and at the same time create a room for sitting or sleeping.
10. If you have a small room don’t make the curtains touch the floor. Allow the legs of your furniture also to show so that it allows the eye to move. Tie the curtains nicely so the room feels airy and has a good ventilation in the room.
11. Avoid unnecessary items of decoration that will make you feel suffocated.
12. A small bedroom will generally have small windows. By having wider and higher drapes you are helping yourself feel that the window is large in scale. Mount your drapes over the window frames and let them fall. Take ropes to tie them up nicely.
13. The bed sheet that you are using should not have sharp colours or patterns. Since the bed in your room is the largest furniture in sight keep the colour of the sheet light. Lighter and brighter colours always help lift the mood too.
14. Keep the flow of lines in the room in sync. If the lines of the windows are vertical give the dresser also the vertical patterns, don’t break the flow.
15. Keep your room well managed and organized because a cluttered room does not look good whether it is small or big. Keep your clothes in the closet and pens in the jar and the bed made is the first thing that you can do to make your small bedroom look bigger and better.
16. A small bedroom does not need to have all furniture pieces small. However, the thing to know here is the scale you follow for your bed must be the same for your side table and dresser. Give your room a sense of unity so that all the furniture pieces stay in harmony with each other.
17. The colour of your trim should be lighter than the wall. The lighter wall paint on the trim will reflect more light thus more light would be available to reflect off the small bedroom.
18. The colour of your room should make sense. The colour you paint your wall should at least have some connection with your rug and furniture. Visual coherence is an important thing to master. Choose one colour scheme and play around with it by using similar types of shades for the rest of the items.
19. Have a bigger window so that the room appears bigger.
20. Avoid having furniture that is too large and always buy a sofa with legs. If you can purchase a chair rather than a bulky sofa, it is better.
