Designing and decorating a fashionable, cosy, and aspect-sized room can be challenging in a constrained area. However, with careful preparation and good strategy, it is possible to transform a small bedroom in such a manner that it looks warm, welcoming, and most importantly, spacious. It is about maximising every single available space, right from the bed frame to the ceiling high light. In this article I will share how to arrange small bedrooms in such a way that they appear larger and tonic.
Choose Light, Neutral Colours to Open Up the Space
Consider painting a small bedroom in purposely chosen light, neutral colours as one of the easiest tips to make the bedroom feel larger and brighter. Light colours will help to reflect the available natural light, creating an illusion of spaciousness, while also adding a bright and fresh feeling into the design. Such shades as a soft white cream, light gray, and muted yet pastel shades will be perfect for the walls, ceilings and dressing even beddings.
Recommended Hue

- Bedding: Cream or white in colour with few designs
- Furnishings: Light coloured wood or white varnishing

Maximise Natural Light with Reflective Surfaces
Windows are incredibly important for a small room. The more windows you have and the more light you let in, the more spacious and airy the room will feel. Supplementing natural light with reflective surfaces, such as mirrors will help achieve a bright and airy look.
Location of Mirrors
- Oppositing Windows: For optimum light reflection place a large mirror directly opposing a window.
