We all know the stress of utilizing a small bedroom and never having the space to fit in all your belongings. Even if a small bedroom area is being used temporarily until you end your college years or stick for longer, make sure it looks the best and is utilized in the best way to display your décor and essence.
A bedroom is an area that is personal and provides relaxation and comfort after fighting the world for an entire day. Hence it should be decorated and designed to relax and enjoy productive time at home to work around it effectively. That can only be done when the next big small room decorating mistakes aren’t made.
Think of your room as a canvas and draw the best picture that induces productivity and creates a flow in your room while making it look modern:
Decorating Beyond Space
Décor is essential, even if a little for each room of your house, including the bedroom. However, installing decorations in your home can often get out of hand, and one may end up adding more décor elements than can fit in a room. Or your décor items may not be best suited for a room space like yours and result in looking out of place.
Ensure that you only choose simple and modern items that don’t look too much in the space and make it look cramped. Look for basic articles like a simple lamp for your side table or the latest digital alarm clock to implement in a tight space.
Neglecting Lighting
Adequate lighting can make a room look a lot bigger than it is. However, to get this result, you will need to plan your space to implement lighting perfectly. It would help if you placed your furniture so that it doesn’t block natural light in any way and display some reflective surface that helps spread the light.
Moreover, choose light fixtures that ignite the whole room rather than a single surface brightly. Use fixtures like floor lamps, sconces, or a simple modern ceiling chandelier to minimize the use of space on walls and floors.
Not Devising Storage System
Effectively storing all your belongings and not having a single item lying around in the room to cramp up space can be hard in a small room. However, it can be easily managed with adequate storage spaces all over the room. Not having a system for storage can ruin the whole purpose and make your things unadjustable. For this reason, make sure for every item in your room or you buy in the future, you have a space to store into.
Overlooking Useful Storage Space
Reducing clutter can readily make your room look bigger and more appealing without having to put up exquisite décor pieces to do so. However, no matter how much one strives, finding space for everything can become hard unless you use hidden and often overlooked areas. Most furniture items designed for smaller rooms come with useful storage features as well. Ensure that you use these spaces, like under your bed or your hanging shelf. Additionally, use vertical or horizontal spaces left purposeless to fit more loading items.
