Small Bedroom Design

"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow." -- Lin Yutang.

The size of the bedroom makes no difference to the ultimate sense of relaxation people experience, be they rich or poor, once within the comforting confines of a cozy bedroom. The sense of complete peace that one gets from being happily cooped up in one’s favorite space like the bedroom, in most cases, especially after a long hard day’s work, is profoundly unparalleled. But with accommodation rates at a premium, small bedrooms are becoming quite the order of the day. A small bedroom can be quite a challenging proposition if you don’t want your favorite space in the house cramped for room or style. However, it can be compact and still be beautiful if a correct balance of elements is struck. Mini bedrooms no longer need to be seen as a cause for discomfort or a diminished sense of ease. After all, it is all about techniques and tricks of saving and enlarging space, or the feel of it, wherever possible. The idea is to make a less than regularly sized bedroom feel bigger, more spacious, brighter and more airy. A smart use of the color palette for the walls, flooring and furnishings as well as well-chosen furniture and décor do the needful. 

If you stick to these simple rules, you won’t go wrong! Start by artfully positioning the main feature of the room - the bed. A queen size double bed is all you are likely to be able to fit into your itsy bitsy retiring chambers. Place it in a neat yet aesthetically appealing part of the room. Leave the rest of the room for other set-ups. And since size matters, a well designed ambience will bring a small bedroom to life in a big way.

A smart decorating scheme for small bedrooms is well worth the effort. After all, a little can go a long way if well executed. It not only enhances the appeal of your personal space but also has other fringe benefits such as cutting on cost and clutter.
