from 2012, now it is time to give you some functional design solutions
for small apartments and homes or even a guest bedroom or attic space
that has minimal space but needs some large ideas! Today, we have
collected for you 60 images of bedroom interiors that offer brilliant
floor plans with clever storage solutions.
If your space currently lacks natural
light, smart storage and even the right color palette, it will feel
cramped and uncomfortable. With the right techniques, even in the
smallest of bedrooms can be more functional and even appear larger. We
have some great tips to turn a bedroom, attic, storage space or office
area into a cozy bedroom for guests, family or for a personal refuge.
Remember that darker colors recede and will make a small space feel
enclosed and less spacious. Try using lighter hues and consider painting
the ceiling the same shade as the wall to erase shadow lines that
visually define a space. If you paint your ceiling white against a dark
wall, the space will feel smaller and your eye can gain a sense
immediately of the size of the room. If the walls and ceilings have the
same tone, you will trick your eye into not being able to see where the
room’s parameters start and end, therefore making the room appear more
spacious.

Install wall sconces. Don’t take
up precious bedside table space with bulky lamps and oversize shades;
install wall sconces or even pendant lighting instead. Installing wall
sconces on the wall can create a unique look and create a focal point
while providing task lighting on each side of the bed. Just remember to
measure carefully and hang them low enough so you don’t have to get out
of bed to turn them off.
This daybed is a clever space saver
solution and makes the room look more like a sitting area instead of a
bedroom but doesn’t take away from its cozy vibe.
Let in natural light. While you
should avoid blocking natural light in a small room, sometimes the only
place that makes sense for a bed is right in front of the window. If
that’s the case, try a see-through headboard (like the one on this metal
frame) to make the most of your sunlight.
Add built-in shelving. Shallow
built-in shelving can help you gain storage and maintain floor space.
Stick to shelving that’s no more than 12 inches deep. The units here act
as bedside tables, eliminating the need for extra furniture. Recessing
the bed in the middle of the shelving prevents it from encroaching on
much-needed floor space.
A small room benefits from the same
elements as a larger one. The round mirror above the mansard headboard
is a fun contrast, while all the textures (headboard, bedding, flooring,
curtains) give the room depth and sophistication.
Fun, layered, bohemian and girly — this
fantastic small bedroom has a lot going on with the pink wallpaper
layered with other patterns and textures. Don’t be afraid to hang art on
a wallpapered wall; just be thoughtful about the type and size. Here
the gold frame blends nicely with the pink wallpaper.
The wallpaper feature wall. If
you’re looking for a bit more oomph for your small bedroom, a single
wall of patterned wallpaper behind your bed might just do the trick. Go
minimal on the linens and glam it up a bit with a Murano-style
chandelier, or something even more bold and colorful.
If you go with built-ins in your small
bedroom, try taking them all the way to the ceiling to make the ceiling
look higher. And paint the back wall a contrasting color to create
layering and depth.
Use a daybed. A daybed can help
create the illusion that the room is more of a small sitting area,
instead of a small bedroom that’s been taken over by a bed. Daybeds
often have storage built in underneath too — another bonus for a small
room.
A nightstand with drawers can hide just
about anything. Besides the usual bedside items, you can stash spare
linens (two drawer), photo albums, books or even socks and other small
items.
Adding built-in storage saves space and
is highly functional and aesthetically pleasing, making your space feel
more clean and organized.
Put up wall shelves. A nightstand
can take up a lot of floor space in a small bedroom, and using just one
with a double- or queen-size bed means that someone won’t have a spot
for an alarm clock, phone or beverage. A wall shelf on one side of the
bed — or on both — can give a small bedroom a more open feeling and
extra floor space, while giving you all the room you need for nighttime
essentials.
In a small bedroom, no matter what the
style is, from traditional to contemporary, a corner window is an
effective way to make a smaller room seem much larger than it actually
is.
Go for mirrored closet doors.
Using a mirror to double your room’s visual square footage is a trick
that’s been used for centuries. In small bedrooms this often means
replacing your closet doors with mirrored ones. The effect tends to work
best when you can take the mirrors from floor to ceiling and wall to
wall.
