Setting up a small bedroom – the best tricks

Setting up a small bedroom often has its pitfalls, as it should be practical and cozy above all. Great ideas on how to create and optimally use a lot of storage space in a small bedroom can be found here.

Find a consistent interior design style for a small bedroom

For more order and a larger appearing room, a consistent interior design helps. Thus, a black-and-white interior can make the room appear larger, tidier, and more elegant.Keep your bedroom in light colors and only accentuate with dark colors, as dark wall colors narrow the bedroom and make it appear even smaller.

If you prefer other colors, it is recommended to design the bedroom in one color family, as too many different colors bring unrest into the room and make the room appear smaller.

The suitable bed for a small bedroom

Often the smallest room of the apartment is used as a bedroom. Therefore, every little bit of space should be used sensibly. For this, loft beds are suitable, which are not only found in children's rooms.In order to enjoy all the advantages of a loft bed, there should be sufficient ceiling height in the bedroom to have enough space under the bed, but also between the ceiling and the mattress.

If you don't like a loft bed, you have the option to install a wall folding bed, also called a cabinet bed. This is particularly suitable for long rooms and offers space-saving furnishings. The box, which is firmly mounted on the wall, hides the bed surface and provides a freely usable area. A sofa bed, which has a fold-out lying surface, has the same effect.

An upholstered bed usually has a bed box, which can be used excellently for storage.Thus, blankets, pillows, but also clothes, books and many other small items can be stored. To keep the contents and the bed always fresh, you should regularly air your bed box by folding up the sleeping surface for a few hours.

Furthermore, you have the option with a bed with storage compartments to create a lot of storage space in the bedroom. These are equipped with storage compartments and spacious drawers, in which a lot can be stored.

In addition, many dealers offer beds in different special sizes - suitable for every bedroom. Thus, only a few centimeters can't spoil your plans.

Small bedroom without a wardrobe

Since the bed in the bedroom cannot be dispensed with, it makes sense to outsource the wardrobe, which usually takes up a lot of space.

Usually, an alternative for your wardrobe can be found in the living room or in another room of your apartment - provided there is enough floor space. Small tip: Choose your wardrobe visually so that it matches the rest of the room's interior style and does not have a bedroom look. Other alternatives include storage rooms or wall cabinets in the hallway to free a small bedroom from the bulky wardrobe.

If you still value additional furniture in the bedroom besides the bed, open and discreet pieces of furniture such as a black metal clothes rack are suitable.

Make a small bedroom appear larger

If you want to visually extend your sleeping area, a piece of furniture at the foot of the bed can help. This not only visually enlarges the bed, but also the room and also creates additional storage space.

If you have sloping ceilings in your bedroom, it is recommended to place the bed in the direction of the transition between roof and wall.This makes the room feel less cramped, yet still very cozy.

The right decoration can also make the room appear larger and more inviting. For example, a black metal mirror can make a small bedroom appear much more spacious. A black metal side table can also give the room some bite. However, you should make sure that there is not too much decoration in the bedroom so that it does not appear overcrowded.

The right lighting

The right light can make a room more cozy. Delicate LED table or floor lamps make the room look more homely and larger and do not take up much space.If the room is a bit larger, a lighting concept that relies on several light points is recommended - such as a ceiling light, a bedside lamp, and possibly additional decorative lights.

Decorating small rooms in a minimalist style

If your bedroom is very small, you can resort to a minimalist decor. Such a decor is limited to the essentials - so to the important basics.

With a minimalist decor, you have the advantage of having more space, as you consciously forego unnecessary things. In addition, space-saving furniture that provides enough storage space for the important things is suitable for this style of decor.

If you constantly ask yourself where the time goes, you can save a little time with a minimalist decor, as the apartment can be tidied and cleaned faster.

The best way to achieve a minimalist decor is by...

  1. ... parting with unused items. If you find no use or joy in certain items, you can part with them.
  1. ... creating more space. Whether furniture or decorative elements - if you part with all unnecessary things, the room empties and immediately appears much larger.
  1. ... simplify your interior style. Simple, functional furniture is light and delicate - or at least appears so, like metal side tables with an airy frame.
  1. ... use the right colors and accessories. A sterile emptiness can be counteracted with a cozy color scheme. Calm, earthy or natural colors and pastel tones always fit. But also a dark brown interior concept or black as a contrast can be used in minimalism. A combination of nature and wood can be found in Japandi. Even with bedrooms with wood and metal, this interior style appears simple, cozy and by no means sterile and sparse.
  1. ... consciously select decorative elements.First and foremost, they should bring you joy - whether for aesthetic reasons or because they have emotional value to you. And the rule always is: less is more.
