A small bedroom can feel cramped even before you bring in all of the furniture. However, making a few key choices at the planning stage can create a wonderful bedroom.
Raise the Bed or Add Storage Beneath It
The storage space under the ottoman bed is also ideal for hiding under bed boxes or even an extra chest of clothes instead of having to place them in other locations around the room. However, raising the bed on legs to create space under the bed for storage has the opposite effect as it clears space on the floor, making the room appear even smaller.
Fit Wardrobes Floor to Ceiling
A conventional wardrobe that doesn’t reach the ceiling can create an unsightly void between the top of it and the wall above, drawing the eye and making the room seem smaller. A full height fitted wardrobe will fill the void and provide additional storage at the very top of the unit. It creates a clean line and gives a feeling of calm in a room that would otherwise appear cluttered.
Keep the Colour Palette Consistent
A pale and consistent colour for walls, woodwork and flooring in a bedroom is best for a small room. If a room is small then a clear and consistent colour means that the human eye will move around the room more easily, making the room seem larger than it really is. A sharp contrast between a room’s skirting boards, walls and floors makes a room appear to be cut up into different sections.
Hang a Mirror Opposite the Window
Reflect natural light within a bedroom by placing a large mirror opposite a window. The mirror will also create the illusion of additional space and make the ceiling appear higher by positioning it at head height.
Switch to Wall-Mounted or Recessed Lighting
Many bedside lamps take up valuable surface space and floor standing lamps can also dominate a room’s floor plan. Using wall-mounted reading lights or recessed lighting can provide solutions to these problems and also affect how much energy is used within the home.
