Modern apartments today are planned so that for the bedroom they have very little space. Therefore, the owners of small apartments have the task of how to properly equip this room so that it combines cosiness and convenience, and at the same time it is not cluttered. You can create your own bedroom design in such a way as to take into account all the wishes, and for this a few good tricks were invented.
Well-chosen furniture
We must not forget that, since the room is small, it can not be filled with unnecessary details and objects. Therefore, at the very beginning we conduct an audit and take out the extra decor and all kinds of little things. To get a feeling of free space, only a bed, a bedside table and a chest of drawers or a wardrobe remain in the room. These are the basic items that are enough for the bedroom. Now we find out what this furniture should be.
Bed selection
In fact, it is not difficult to create a bedroom design with your own hands, if you choose the right bed. For a small room, the following points should be considered:
- there should not be a massive and voluminous headboard and back;
- legs should be small and without much pretentiousness;
- better if the lowest possible bed is selected;
- dark-tone furniture visually reduces the room;
- The design of the bed should be simple.
It is also worth considering for whom the furniture is intended. If this is a couple, of course, a “double-stick” is selected, but even here there remains a place of fantasy. There are beds that are made in the form of a mezzanine, under which drawers or a chest of drawers are equipped. If the bedroom is designed for one person, you can arrange your night on the second floor, for example, above the chest of drawers. Or, if desired, a podium is made for the personal space under which there is a pull-out bed. For example, you can take on board the design of a small bedroom, the photo of which is given below.
Chest and wardrobe
In order to take up as little space as possible, you can use the “compartment” or order a built-in wardrobe. But if there is no possibility or desire to install it, you can put a small narrow chest of drawers. Such furniture can serve as a table for cosmetics or other necessary items.
Bedside tables
For small rooms there is an invariable rule - the bedside table should in no case be higher than your bed. Like everything else, it must have a simple, unobtrusive design. To save space, this item is placed as close to the bed as possible. As an alternative, you can attach the hinged shelves. To make the design of the bedroom with your own hands as comfortable as possible, this interior item is decorated with flowers, figurines and other cute little things. We can add that if the bed has a headboard already equipped with shelves, it is better to abandon the venture with a bedside table.
Wall decoration
If you create a bedroom design with your own hands, it is better to give preference to light pastel shades. Although bright and dark colors look original, they “eat up” the space. In addition, no more than three harmonizing tones should participate in the design. If wallpaper with a pattern is selected, then it should be small, without shine, tiring eyes.
A good option is to decorate the walls with mirrors. One large canvas is able to visually expand the boundaries of the room. Or, for example, if you create a design of a bedroom of 15 sq.m, you can decorate it with a large picture above a berth. Well-chosen photo wallpapers will also increase the volume of the room. They should, as it were, continue the space extending beyond the walls.
Ceiling and floor
The design of a bedroom in a house with small rooms should exclude the idea of mirrored ceilings, since they will reflect all objects, creating the feeling that there are too many things in the room. The tone of the ceiling should be very bright. It should not have voluminous large chandeliers, it is good if they are replaced by spotlights or wall sconces. The floor must harmonize in shade with the ceiling and furniture: this way the design of a small bedroom visually increases the space. The photo below clearly shows this trick. An optical illusion can be adopted: a laminate laid diagonally also gives the impression of an elongated room. Large carpets are also able to "eat" the space, so the bedside light rug will be just right, but if the situation allows, it is better to abandon it.
Decor
When creating coziness, you don’t need to try to shove an office, a reading room with a bookcase and a dressing room into the room. The bedroom should not be overloaded even with cute little things, just a couple of accents in the form of an original flowerpot (but it is advisable to refuse indoor plants), a stylish pillow or floor lamp are enough. Textile itself is selected in light colors, without large patterns. In addition, a competent contribution is made by the competent design of curtains for the bedroom. The photo below shows how this detail harmoniously combines with upholstery textile, and the room is original and cozy.
We must not forget that curtains are not just decor, but also an important element that protects the room from bright light. When choosing curtains, it is worth taking a closer look at the room so that the acquisition harmoniously complements the idea of the room, and does not look like a foreign object. Also, this detail should not attract too much attention, so some choose laconic Roman curtains or blinds that protect from light and complete the image. But here, it is also important to choose the right curtain design for the bedroom. The photo below shows an interesting option.
Varieties of styles
Equipping a small room, many want not to change their tastes, since the styles of bedroom design are very diverse. But it is worth remembering that in any case, the idea should correspond to the concept of interiors throughout the house.
Classical style is usually chosen by people with conservative foundations, not influenced by fashion. In this style, objects and furniture are made of natural wood, have carved details. Most often they are decorated with a golden edging. Upholstery can be white with blue or bronze accents. These nuances are also observed in textiles and curtains.
Today, country-style bedrooms are gaining popularity, where rustic motifs are clearly visible in furniture, curtains, carpets. For example, wicker chairs prevail here, bedspreads made of rags, still lifes in simple frames. All furniture is made of natural wood.
Ethno-style has inherent details in which there is a national flavor of a country. Often people choose oriental motifs for their home, as well as bedrooms, in which the idea of “safari” can be traced in all details.
The Bidermeer style does not need expensive pieces of furniture, but at the same time it remains practical and comfortable. There must be present living plants and elements of needlework. A combination of velvet with satin is also appropriate, that is, matte and iridescent colors.
Eco-style implies natural shades, the room should be soft and bright.
But for small bedrooms, the style of "minimalism" would be appropriate, since there should not be a lot of objects, and the shades of the room have no more than three colors. Usually it is white, gray and black. Although you can make one bright accent.
