Clear open floor area in the middle of the room makes it feel spacious. Choose a bed frame which is slim, a bed with no footboard, or a platform or storage bed or an iron bed with a see-through headboard and footboard are the best options for a small room. Place the bed with the pillows against the wall so it becomes a makeshift area for working on your laptop or daybed for lounging or place a small-scale coffee table for a perfect setup.

Furnishing Gamut

Furnish the small bedroom with sleek and lighter visual weight textiles or go bold. Choose interesting fabrics and expressive patterns which are light, crisp and bright to dress up the windows and bedcovers. Color the walls in cooler pastels – blues and grays or sunshine yellows for a special happy look.

Make your bedroom light and airy by introducing see-through pale drapes on windows for natural light. This will prevent the room from feeling dark and claustrophobic. Choose mounted lights on the wall instead of table and floor lamps as light fixtures take up floor space. Instead, ideally over the bed hang a reading sconce or a pendent or chandelier light. You can also opt for a light with a swinging arm which can be adjusted to direct light for the rest of the room or downward (for reading).
