Is your bijou bedroom feeling a little too snug for comfort? Well, we’re here to help you. Try these easy interior design tricks to make a small bedroom look a lot bigger…
Buy An Ottoman Bed With Built-In Storage
What’s the main component of a compact bedroom? The bed, of course. So rather than you settling for being more snug than smug, there’s no reason why the bed itself can’t do more with the limited space available to you. In fact, the right bed can provide a storage-savvy solution to help de-clutter your bedroom. Simply make sure your new bed comes with some kind of integrated storage.
An easy-to-operate ottoman bed, for example, provides hidden storage space under the mattress which is ideal for safely storing extra blankets, bedding and other bulky items out of sight.
Choose A Hotel Height Headboard
A bed featuring an extra tall headboard not only makes a great statement piece in your bedroom, it also helps draw the eye vertically and takes the focus away from the overall size of a room.
Lengthy wall mirrors and tall bedside tables will help complete this luxury boutique hotel room look.

Make The Most Of Natural Light
It’s important to make a small bedroom feel as bright and airy as possible, so ensure the room gets as much natural light as you can. Go for roller blinds or thin linen drapes rather than thick, heavy curtains and let the sun shine in.
Avoid obstructing the window with any decor or plants, even if this means placing your bed right below the window due to the overall layout of the room.
Decorating the whole room in white or vibrant colours will make the most of the room’s lighting conditions and help enlarge the space visually. Whites and neutrals are great at reflecting light and help create that feeling of space you are looking for. Pinks, on the other hand, make a small bedroom feel warmer and more welcoming.
At night, soft ambient lighting will bring out the coziness of your bedroom. Ceiling lights, hanging lights or wall lights will also maximise the space available. If you use the more efficient LED bedroom lights, these eco-friendly alternatives will last up to 10 times longer than a traditional bulb – thus saving you money AND precious space.
Finally, strategically placed mirrors and mirrored furniture around the small bedroom are a great way to draw in more light and give the room a more spacious feel.
