\u201cA small bedroom doesn\u2019t have to be unlivable,\u201d says Caron Woolsey, founder and principal designer at CW Interiors<\/a>. \u201cEmbrace the opportunity to bring personality and individuality to the small space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re wondering how to decorate a small bedroom, this is where easy design tips come in to make the most of your bedroom and potentially even make it feel bigger. Here’s how to decorate a very small bedroom, with advice from a design pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What makes you feel best in your space? Can you look at your bedroom as an opportunity to be extra creative with your decor? \u201cA bedroom is the one place in the world where you should feel safe and comforted, so be fearless when you design it,\u201d says Woolsey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if your bedroom is small, you should still treat the whole space as an art piece in your home, adds Woolsey. While you may not be able to hang large-scale artistic masterpieces in your bedroom, you can certainly go with a small gallery wall above your bed or display a favorite collection on your dresser. (Check out these bedroom design ideas<\/a> that work for small bedrooms.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weaving in light airy, neutrals can make any space\u2014bedroom included\u2014feel larger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n White is a surefire hue to make a bedroom feel larger, along with other neutrals like cream, light gray, or taupe. In addition to choosing a neutral hue that makes the bedroom seem bigger, pick one that you\u2019re drawn to and that makes you feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExperiment with wall colors that reflect the mood you want your bedroom to emanate each and every night,\u201d suggests Woolsey. (Here are the best colors to use in your bedroom<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can absolutely use patterns in a small bedroom, but it\u2019s best to choose ones with neutrals, like black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also want to only bring in a pattern or two to complement the solid colors in the space. That way, the eye can rest upon subtle patterns here and there instead of being overwhelmed by too many patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even in the smallest of bedrooms, Woolsey advises accenting the room with patterned pillows and throws \u201cto add texture and color.\u201d When you\u2019re ready for a change in decor, you can swap out these accents for new ones, she adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you and your partner are fine with sleeping in a queen-size bed<\/a>, it\u2019ll instantly add more space to your bedroom. Sure, a king bed makes for a comfy sleeping situation, but a queen will free up room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re wondering how to decorate a small bedroom with a queen bed, keep in mind that you\u2019ll have more room for furniture<\/a> as opposed to with a king bed. But still aim to keep the look polished and streamlined, with matching, minimal nightstands and a single art piece above the bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find the perfect queen mattress for you at Saatva<\/p>\n \n Our flagship luxury mattress is expertly engineered with coil-on-coil construction for durability, a layer of memory foam for enhanced back support, and a cushiony Euro pillow top for extra comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n Shop Now\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n Luxurious body-hugging feel and pressure relief with 3\u201d of ultra-premium, high-density 5-lb memory foam. <\/p>\n\n\n \n \n Shop Now\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n Natural latex responds to every curve for pressure-free support and responsive comfort.

This greatly helps in trying to make a bedroom appear larger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook for ways to incorporate architectural elements like large windows or beautiful molding,” recommends Woolsey. “Take advantage of vertical space.\u201d (Learn about split bedroom floor plans<\/a> to see if this house setup is right for you.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n When decorating a tiny bedroom, remember that table lamps and floor lamps take up valuable space. Instead, Woolsey suggests using pendant lights or mounted wall sconces to conserve real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clutter feels even more overwhelming in a small bedroom, so it\u2019s important to have lots of storage solutions in place to avoid this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That means hanging floating shelves, installing built-ins, relying upon under-the-bed storage, and having a nearby closet for all those bedtime essentials. (Learn about bookcase beds<\/a> to see if they could be a storage solution for you.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a cool interior design secret: Light bounces off of mirrors and glass, which can actually make a room seem larger. Woolsey says you can hang a large mirror opposite your windows to take full advantage of natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that tip about drawing the eye upwards in a teeny room? This is something you can quickly achieve by utilizing a tall headboard. Stretching toward the ceiling, the eye will drift from the small room to the spaciousness above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The right window treatments can make all the difference in a small bedroom. Steer clear of dark-hued, heavy drapes since these will weigh the room down. Instead, opt for light, breezy drapes, preferably in a neutral color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Get creative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
