dark colors, on the other hand, tend to absorblight, making a room look smaller. using light colors will make your walls appearto recede creating a bright feel. the favorite colors for a small bedroom arewhite, light gray, neutrals and cool colors like blue or green but in a very light toneto make your bedroom fresh, brighter and calming. if you have any doubts on how to select thepaint color for your space click the card here to know more about color theory and howto combine colors depending of your space and needs. magnify your space with mirrors
mirrors expand a small bedroom by creatingthe illusion of a bigger room. positioning a mirror to reflect the lightof a window is also the only way to up the natural light in your space. there are different ways to place a mirrorin your bedroom, for example: find a body-length mirror and lean it up against the wall you can cover an entire wall with modular mirrors, or cover the sliding doors of your closet or use a big one as a focal point above your bedhead. also, incorporating some mirrored furnitureis a clever way to reflect light,
don't be afraid to play around with more thanone mirror but be sure that they don’t have overloaded or detailed frames. remember that in small spaces clean linesare the best choice. push your bed up against a corner. most bedroom styles feature the bed placedon the center of the wall with a nightstand on each side. however, narrow floor plans and limited spaceoften call for a deviation of this. to maximize the floor space and to have acomfortable way to circulate or just to place other furniture into your bedroom, like adesk, dresser or a vanity table, tuck your
bed up against a corner in order to have onlyone circulation area instead of two to arrive to your bed and to save the most space possibleto be used for other furniture and activities. be creative with your nightstands if you want to maximize every inch and bevery stylish, a wall mounted solution is the best way to store your nighttime essentialswithout using any floor space. it’s clean, contemporary, inexpensive, andvery, very easy to install. this levitation acts as a trick to the eyeby freeing up visual space and making the room feel larger, and it also leaves floorspace open for even more storage. also if you have a nightstand for both sides
you can break the symmetry with two different styles shapes and to have night tables witha different kind of storage or use. because you’re always asking for it, rememberthat i always leave a link below in the description box with the furniture that i mention in thisvideo this way you can get inspired to incorporate something similar into your space. use your walls, use the vertical space. the space is three dimensional, we have morethan the floor, so don’t forget that you have vertical space at your disposal to incorporatesome pieces like bookshelves, wall mounted
desk or storage. take advantage of your wall space: liven up vacant walls and give purpose to underutilized areas remember that vertical storage givesthe illusion of a more spacious room. in a small bedroom make your walls work everytime. hidden storage in order to organize a small bedroom setup,storage is key. be creative. use under-bed storage to stash out-of-seasonclothing
custom shelving hidden in your walls to store things like shoes and books or amirror with a hidden storage for your jewelry. also use an ottoman with hidden storage atthe foot of the bed and get extra seating. multifunctional and light furniture in a small bedroom multifunctional and smartpieces are essential to maximize every inch. look for multiple uses in your furniture pieces for example use an ottoman as a sitting for your vanity table but with a hidden storage and it will work as the same piece when you’re needing a footrest.
also there are a lot of multifunctional bedchoices in the market, which, at the same time, will work as storage. if your bedroom is too small, you can usea sofa bed. this way, you have more versatility to playwith your space depending on your needs. remember that in a small space everythingneeds to be functional. another recommendation about incorporatingfurniture in your bedroom is to use transparent pieces made by acrylic or glass, maybe this transparent piece can be the chair that you will use for your work station desk or foryour vanity table or nightstand or shelves,
this way you will trick your eyes and braininto thinking that the space is bigger that what is really is because the transparentfurniture takes zero visual weight. i know that i always share this recommendationin all my videos about small spaces but it’s because it’s very very useful and easy toincorporate it in any room, remember that designing a small space is all about visualmanipulation and with transparent objects you can trick your mind like the best. high curtains as i said before that the furniture that extendsup to the ceiling can visually open up the space and gives the illusion of a more spaciousroom well, we can achieve the same visual
effect with high mounted curtains. accentuate tall windows with high curtains. curtains make a room look more spacious whenyou mount the curtain rod close to the ceiling instead of at the window frame. the floor-length curtains draw the eye upwardalong the entire length of the curtains, creating an illusion of height. so at the time of incorporating your curtainsas a functional element you should use it as a visual effect to trick your mind andmake your bedroom feel larger and airy. lighting has the greatest impact on interior design.
in a bedroom i always recommend to have differentlayers of lighting setup what does that mean? well that means that you will need to havean ambient or general lighting combined with task light source such as table lamps foryour desk or wall lamps for reading at your bed but in a small space you need to be cleverat the time of incorporating your lighting pieces. for an ambient light use ceiling mounted lightsor architectural lighting mimicking the led strips in your ceiling wall or furnitureto define volumes and to provide the necessary ambient lighting.
as i said, make your walls and your ceiling work for a task lighting source instead of using a table lamp in your nightstand, you can have a hanging lamp with a simple design or a wall lamp to take up zero space in your nightstand this way you will have more useful space for you and your furniture. wallpapers patterns are a small space's best friend because they add big personality without encroaching
on precious square footage. just because your bedroom is small doesn’tmean it has to be dull. add a bold wallpaper pattern to a focal wall,like your headboard wall. wallpaper can also make a room feel smaller,so it's crucial that patterns are executed in just the right way so, when selecting wallpaper, choose a large-scalepattern with organic and soft shapes over a small and busy one. remember that a light and calming color paletteis the best choice for any bedroom specially for a small one.
don’t forget to create a cohesive look bycoordinating your bedding or pillows or some accessories with your new wallpaper. guys remember! if you have any question let me know in acomment below if you liked this video don’t forget toclick like, this way i can notice that my content is helping you out. remember to subscribe to be part of our design community and to follow me on instagram for daily inspiration and to get in touch.
