Small Bedrooms Design Ideas

When decorating a small bedroom, you need to be creative, while making the most of your space. Discover in this article some ideas to improve the small bedroom’s functionality. While we are aware that aesthetics should not be ignored, we have a couple of useful tips, from choosing the right furniture to determining the color palette, color accents, and decorations.

Maximize storage space with shelves

Regardless of the size of your bedroom and the furniture layout, you can easily integrate shelves above your bed or desk, for instance. This way, you’’ have more space for books, storage boxes, or children's toys and games, if that’s the case. Keep reading for tips about stone shelves, one of the best improvements in terms of aesthetics. 

Use a dresser with sliding doors

When you have a dresser that’s close to the bed, the classic sliding doors will get in the way. An effective solution is a wardrobe with sliding doors - you'll have easy access to your clothes and be able to organize the space much better. You can also choose furniture with a compact design to make the space seem larger. 

Choose a narrow, corner bed or sofa bed

At first glance, it can be difficult to decorate a narrow bedroom without making it look cluttered. One of the most popular tricks is to place the bed on the longer wall of the room. Also, choose a model with a 140 cm mattress for 2 people or, if 90 cm wide, for a child’s room. 

If the bedroom is shared by 2 siblings, you can organize the room more easily with a bunk bed. Another solution for optimizing space is a sofa bed. You can also consider using chairs, or a folding table. 

The windowsill can be an extra storage space

In a narrow and small room, every corner/area of the bedroom should be used creatively. The windowsill adds personality to the design and can be used as extra storage space: for flower pots, books, and school supplies, photo frames, etc. To maintain a balanced interior design style, go for stone window sills, just like the shelves. 

Use light colors

Another useful trick to create the impression of a larger space is to use a bright color palette. For example, flooring can be tiled with white, cream, pink, grey, yellow, light brown travertine, etc. Other suitable choices are limestone, sandstone, onyx, marble, and granite. Moreover, glossy surfaces reflect light and give the feeling of a more spacious room.

The color palette in a small bedroom should be simple and bright, but the design also needs color touches or interesting textures. Otherwise, you’ll have a dull design. We suggest a wall cladding with SKIN flexible slate. Or just clad the next to the bed area. Stick to light colors, such as Autumn White, Ocean Green, Pearl White, and Indian Autumn. 

Create the feeling of space with mirrors and many lighting objects

A dresser with large mirrors is a great solution to create the impression of a more spacious bedroom. It can be laid out on one of the narrow sides when the door window layout allows it. At the same time, the abundance of natural and artificial light will help you achieve the effect of a larger space than it really is. If you're looking for a unique idea, we recommend the sandstone lamp, a genuine special design.

Keep the minimalist setting

It's not enough to choose plain colors or add mirrors and plenty of lighting to get the right design for the small bedroom and make the space larger than it actually is. The room should be decorated in a minimalist way, to avoid cluttering. You can choose functional items with a special design, such as a lamp or a natural stone shelf. 

A decoration project for a small bedroom can be difficult, yet keep in mind these tips for the best results. Even with limited space, there are creative tricks you can use for customizing your room, from travertine/limestone wall cladding, to stone window sill.
