Special features

The bedroom should be multifunctional, therefore it is impossible to place only one bed in the room, being content with only a sleeping place. Best of all, the room has a number of functional features.

Thanks to this, it will be as comfortable as possible for living:

  • Such a room is designed for sleep and rest, but it is very good if it is light and fresh enough. When placing the furniture, you should not clutter up the window spaces and put bulky products next to them that prevent the penetration of natural light into the room.
  • Considering the space of a small room, it is not recommended to choose bulky large-sized furniture. She visually "eats" all the free space, and the bedroom will lose the atmosphere of comfort.
  • If there is a controversial question regarding the acquisition of more massive cabinets and savings in bed, the purchase of a folding sofa - or the choice of a full bed and small storage systems, you should not save on sleep quality. Pay attention to a quality bed with orthopedic mattress.
  • For a small bedroom a very smart decision would be to purchase a bed with a lifting mechanism. The lower part of this piece of furniture is a spacious box that will serve as an additional (and quite roomy) place to store things.
  • A small bedroom will always need a visual correction of the space.Best of all in this business will help the mirror surface. This can be, for example, wall decorative panels, glossy doors of cabinets and the surface of the shelves, curtain or stretch ceiling with a glossy effect.
  • The peculiarity of the small bedroom lies in the fact that you can fill the interior with unusual products. An excellent solution would be a loft bed with a workplace, a hidden bed that when folded turns into the surface of a modular wardrobe, as well as a model with built-in drawers.
  • A small bedroom will look much more comfortable if you add it with various stylish accessories. Pillows with knitted pillowcases and matching blankets in the set, light curtains with not very fancy night curtains and small vases with dried Provencal herbs are an excellent decor for such a room.

Consider the shape of the room

Of course, when planning the design of a small bedroom, you must take into account the shape of the room. Sometimes it depends on it how functional the room will be, how harmonious the placement of furniture will turn out, how cozy the atmosphere will reign in the interior.

A rectangular room may not always be functional, since with small sizes the possibility of accommodating a high-quality double bed and a spacious storage space is reduced.

Let us consider in more detail the planning options for a small rectangular room:

  • A good option would be to place in the room a modular set of furniture with a built-in hidden bed that unfolds when lifting and lowering its frame. The bed is equipped with an ordinary orthopedic mattress, so it will be quite comfortable to sleep on it. The advantage of this kit lies in the fact that it takes up very little space, being at the same time very functional.
  • For a small rectangular room fit bed with built-in drawers. This product solves some of the issues relating to storage, so the room can be placed only a small locker and a neat coffee table.
  • A loft bed, located in the side of the window, would be an ideal option for sleeping in such a room. If there is no need for a working area, then a small chair and a low bookshelf can be placed at the bottom of such furniture.Such a cozy corner will be an excellent option for evening leisure, and the location near the window gives an advantage in the form of observing the lights of the evening city.

The square room has its own characteristics, so the process of its arrangement will be easier, and in some cases even more enjoyable.

Let's take a closer look at some options for the design and placement of furniture in a small square bedroom:

  • The square bedroom has the advantage that the bed in such a room can be positioned by the window, by placing the headboard against the wall where the window is located. On the sides of the bed will look good small, but high cabinets. Typically, these models are roomy, so the issue associated with the storage of various things will be resolved. A small dressing table or a small cozy chair can be placed against the wall opposite the bed.
  • If there is a need to place the bed against the wall, you should use one of the side walls for this. So the bed will be turned sideways to the window, but sunlight will still fall on it at certain hours - depending on the time of day.
  • If you need to change the bed to the sofa, if the room should be not only a bedroom, but also a room for personal home entertainment. In this case, you should not choose too bulky model of the product, because it only spoils the interior. It is better to pay attention to the small sofas, which are perfectly located in front of the closet and desk, TV.

It will be very difficult to arrange an oriental-style bedroom in a small room, since its concept involves the use of, albeit, “airy”, but at the same time rather massive decorative elements. They will not decorate the room, but only “eat” the free space, making it uncomfortable.

It is quite easy to get out of the situation using only a small part of the decorative elements. Wallpaper with an ornament in the oriental style can be placed on one of the walls, forming them into a kind of decorative panels. Also suitable textile items - blankets and pillows, as well as the corresponding decoration of lamps.

It's amazing how quickly fashion trends change.More recently, gloomy tones did not seem so attractive, but this season the design of the bedroom in gray tones is at the peak of popularity. Particularly elegant and sophisticated looks design in the style of "gradient", in which the walls are decorated in the form of a smooth transition from light to darker shades.

Dark blue bedroom It will not look very attractive, because the abundance of this color in the interior can cause discomfort. Designers advise to combine it with lighter, warm colors: with white, light yellow, soft lilac, pale blue.

Monophonic turquoise bedroom rarely who have to taste. This shade is able to visually make the room even less, so experts in the field of interior design are advised to dilute it with white or light blue.

Room decoration in white colorOf course, it will have a beneficial effect on space, but it can get boring. If the walls and ceiling of your bedroom are decorated with white color, it is worth choosing furniture and floor covering of darker shades that are combined with each other.

Black and white bedroom It will look very nice - especially if the predominant shade is white. Black color is ideal for highlighting details and emphasizing the advantages of the room.

The small sleeping rooms, in the interior of which green, red, lilac, beige and violet shades are used look beautiful too. However, you should be careful not to overdo it with bright colors. It is recommended to combine them with paler tones - to create a harmonious picture.

Interior decoration and decor

It is sometimes quite difficult to design the interior yourself, because in the process there are many nuances and issues that only experts can solve. To facilitate the independent decision of a question concerning the design of a small bedroom, it is worth exploring the list of the most popular finishing materials used to create a stylish interior.

Walls

Classical decoration of the walls with wallpaper can be a bit boring, but it is not always easy to find a replacement that is just as attractive at the price, but much more spectacular and unusual. This problem can be solved faster than it seems by choosing wallpaper or textured canvas for painting. So you can give the walls the desired shade and apply any print.

In some cases, ceiling moldings are great for designing bedroom walls. The decor of a round form with deepening will help to visually smooth the sharp corners of the room and make it more spacious. In addition, this decor on the walls looks very unusual and stylish.

Eco-style wall decoration has become an incredibly popular new trend. It is noteworthy that for the design of such a bedroom cork panels are used, which not only look beautiful, but also are very functional, protecting the surface of the walls from high humidity and mechanical damage.

A very unusual design solution is to finish the bedroom with the help of ordinary newspapers. Since they are very thin and become translucent when wet, the wall should be pre-painted white, and after gluing newspapers, the surface should be covered with several layers of protective varnish.

Very often for the decoration of walls used wood panels, the surface of which is an imitation of timber. This decor looks very interesting, it is ideal for the design of bedrooms in rustic and country styles.

In some interiors, the walls are decorated with large and small stones. This design solution looks incredibly stylish, but it will not be appropriate in every room. Stone decoration is not suitable for a small bedroom, as the space is somewhat “eaten up”.

In order to visually enlarge the space, mirror and glass elements are used for wall decor. The walls, the various elements of the interior are reflected in the glossy surface, which creates the impression of a much larger space than it actually is.

Plasterboard constructions, various three-dimensional panels and numerous picture frames and photos can be called very beautiful and interesting. However, be careful, because the abundance of such a large decor can adversely affect the space of an already small bedroom.

Floor and ceiling

Of course, the decor of the walls in the interior of the bedroom is important, but it doesn’t represent anything without an appropriate floor and ceiling decoration. Consider the most popular, profitable and practical options for finishing ceilings and floors, as well as the most interesting design solutions.

Many materials are used to finish the ceiling surface., each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Suspended ceilings look pretty impressive, but negatively affect the space of a small room, but the small ceiling niche of plasterboard will be just right.

A great option would be stretched glossy canvas, but you should take into account their features. One of such features is the fact that the glossy ceiling of a dark color is distinguished by an excessively strong glossy effect, therefore the environment will be reflected in it particularly well.

It is better to opt for white products - rather restrained and subtle.

Ceilings are often painted and whitened, many use decorative plaster for their decor. Since these materials may not be durable enough, you should follow certain rules while working, using special solutions, primer, tools and following a certain sequence of actions.

Finishing of floors should be given special attention, since it is not only a decorative component of the entire interior, but also part of the room that is most susceptible to stress. It is on the floor that people move every day.All pieces of furniture are also placed exactly on it, being at the same time not the easiest.

Sturdy and reliable flooring can be called floorboard, which fits perfectly into any design. Parquet is a natural material, hypoallergenic and completely safe for health. The varnished surface of the floorboard will last for many years.

Coatings such as linoleum and laminate have many advantages. Among the advantages can be noted advantageous cost and ease of installation, but a rather serious drawback may be that these coatings are not so durable, since traces often appear from heavy furniture.

In addition, for the bedroom it is quite advisable to use ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles. The advantage of the material is that it is incredibly strong, durable and durable. The disadvantages include the fact that the surface is cold and does not heat up well from the warm room air, therefore it may be necessary to lay heating mats under the floor itself.

Shine

Lighting the bedroom is a very important detail, since it must be not only as functional as possible, but also intelligently thought out - in terms of visual expansion of the space.Let us consider in more detail how best to place light sources in a small dormitory.

It is best to have a small bedroom equipped with several sources of light, each of which performs a specific function. Even ceiling lighting is not enough even for the smallest room, as this can cause some inconvenience.

For example, if there are two people in the bedroom, one of whom wants to sleep and another to read, the use of ceiling lighting may be impossible. In this case, to solve the problem will help bedside lamps, which can be placed on both sides on the wall or on two bedside tables.

Bedside lamps should be small. The light is not too bright, but it should be enough so that some space near the head of the bed is lit, and also so that the pages of the book are well lit - in the case of reading before bedtime.

Bedside lamps will be very convenient if the ceiling fixture switch is located at the door. To turn off the light, do not have to get out of a warm bed - it will be enough just to press the button on the lamp.

This item may be insignificant if the ceiling lamp is equipped with a control panel. In this case, it will be very easy to turn it on and off if necessary, while remaining in its place.

To make the room seem more spacious, you should not use the center point for ceiling lighting, since in this case some corners may not be covered - they will remain dark. It is better to place a spotlight around the perimeter of the entire ceiling. The light will be scattered, lighting and corners, and the central part of the room.

How to arrange the furniture?

To create a complete picture of the interior is not enough just to issue the walls, floor and ceiling. It is also necessary to choose the right furniture and arrange it correctly. This is especially difficult to do in a small room, as there is a rather serious risk of cluttering it up.

For example, for a small bedroom it would be inappropriate to buy an overly large wardrobe, because the space of the room does not allow it. A small compact model of a rectangular shape is suitable, or a larger product with an angular placement, which is the most practical.

Modular furniture, including a bed, candle-side cabinets or bedside tables located on the sides, will look quite harmonious. This option is most suitable because it allows you to place all the necessary items, but the space is not cluttered.

Very stylish and modern bed-podium, located on some elevation. But such a solution for a bed in a small room would not be very practical, unless the podium is a functional part and is not equipped with built-in drawers. In this case, the bed-podium becomes more and more storage space.

Bedside tables in the bedroom do not necessarily have to be located near the bed, so it is accepted only in the classic version of the interior. If there is a chair in the room, you can put a bedside table quite well near it.

If space allows, you can place a computer desk near the window in the bedroom. However, it is not recommended to leave it unseparated; it is better to divide the room into zones, using small racks for this. So the bed will be separated from the working area.

Accessories

Of course, no interior will look cozy without the addition of appropriate accessories. It is the small details that bring the latest decorative touches into the decor, helping the room design to look more holistic and complete.

Let us consider in more detail which accessories will be most relevant for a small bedroom, and which ones should be discarded.

The most obvious and common decor of any room (not only the bedroom) are curtains, but not every type is suitable for a small room. Designers advise to abandon too heavy night curtains from expensive canvases. Classic kits made of lightweight tulle and thick products that muffle the street light, but do not overload the interior.

Accessories for windows include such an element as a pelmet, which is often part of a curtain set. Often, this element is part of the classic interior, but because of the massive folds and flounces can overload a small bedroom quite a lot.

A fireplace can be a very interesting decorative element for the bedroom.It should be immediately noted that the classic model with brickwork will not be very appropriate, because it takes a lot of space and is not suitable for an apartment. However, it is possible to choose a decorative electric mini-fireplace.

The functional component of the room can also act as a decor - for example, lamps, chandeliers. Decorative lighting points selected in one style will not only attract attention, but also help to revive even the most boring interior.

It is worth experimenting, "play" with the mixing of parts, different styles.

Very stylish accessories that are in many homes are vases. Yes, vases can also be part of the interior of a small bedroom. It is not necessary to constantly fill the vase with live plants, it is enough to buy a stylish bouquet of dry or artificial flowers.

Among other accessories it is necessary to highlight various figurines, which are usually placed on desks or pedestals. Small decorative candles will help to make the interior more intimate, and large paintings placed above the head of the bed will make it possible to focus on the central part of the room.
