How difficult it is for homeowners to create a stylish, functional and comfortable design of a small room! The bedroom in this sense is no exception. In the room for sleep and rest there should be not only a bed. You need to think over storage systems, provide a dressing table, and sometimes a workplace. For many owners of small apartments it is essential to have a book shelf in the bedroom, young parents need to allocate space for a crib.

Those who want to save space for help come modern technology and designer development - you can hang the TV on the wall, and it takes no more places than the picture, or you can fix it with the bracket to the ceiling itself. There are design secrets for organizing a cabinet in a confined space. About how to make the design of a small bedroom as comfortable as possible, we will tell in this article.

Style Selection

Thinking about creating an interior in a small area, you need to choose the style of design. Unfortunately, the small room initially rejects the use of many of them, as some design directions involve a large number of furniture and accessories not of first necessity, dark interior elements that visually reduce space.

Typically, the design of a small bedroom in a modern style is made in several ways:

• Minimalism with characteristic color uniformity, absence or minimal amount of bright accessories, use of furniture with strict forms, maximum illumination.
• Classics - attracts many coziness. This style is inherent in simple furniture from natural materials, high-quality textile decor, the use of wallpaper with floral ornaments, warm colors.
• Japanese style is a furniture of small sizes, elements of an interior of natural light shades, the muffled light, strict under the form of curtains, presence of east hieroglyphs and patterns.

Not less popular today is the design of small bedrooms in the style of loft, high-tech, art deco.

But it should be borne in mind that the features of these directions are much more difficult to emphasize in a limited space.

How to visually increase the room?

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform a number of fairly simple rules:

• Do not clutter the entrance to the bedroom. From the door to the wall opposite the space should be open, this will visually expand the room.
• If possible, give up walls with a dark coating, use clean, light colors that visually push the walls apart. Bright or dark tones are allowed in the form of accents.
• Expand the space of wallpaper with a horizontal pattern, and vertical stripes will lift the ceilings.
• Laminate or parquet should be laid on a diagonal, which is also a way to increase space.
• The design of a small bedroom (the photo we posted in this article) does not accept the use of objects not related to sleep: several chairs, a set, bookshelves, excess decor. This does not mean that these items must be abandoned completely. Without them, the room will look boring.
• Do not place on the walls of a huge number of paintings or photographs, especially in massive frames. It is more expedient to limit one picture to the head of the bed.

Color spectrum

Quite often, owners of small premises allow a very common mistake. Creating a bedroom design of a small area and knowing that such rooms need visual expansion, they use very light, and sometimes white, tones. In this case, there is a risk of getting a room very similar to a sterile hospital room. To avoid this, you must use two or three accents, performed in more vivid or contrasting tones. It can be textiles, decor elements, some pieces of furniture.

If the room is small enough that hardly can accommodate a double bed, the emphasis can be served by its headboard, which will dilute the light range and give the room an individuality. Light finishing does not have to have white shades. Gray, pastel colors are perfectly combined with the colors of wood, from which furniture is made. Do not forget that white has a wide range of shades, from white to dairy. Minor impregnations of color on the background of a light finish always look good, and a contrasting geometric pattern or picture on the wall will certainly become the center of attention.

The design of a small bedroom in an apartment (the photo you can see in this article) allows the use of moldings, but it is better that they have the same shade as the main surface. This simple reception will not focus on the size of the room and give some bohemian atmosphere.

Small bedroom in dark colors

In all the rules there are exceptions. The design ideas of a small bedroom today can be very controversial. Many homeowners represent their bedroom in dark colors. Some designers believe that this desire is feasible. The dark color of the walls is very effective and, according to experts, an underestimated reception.

The modern design of a small bedroom in dark colors has its advantages: in the room the corners are concealed, its boundaries seem to dissolve, a cozy chamber atmosphere appears. Therefore, if you prefer dark colors, use a dark gray or brown scale for walls.

Contrast wall

If you do not risk painting all the walls in a dark color, but dream of such a bedroom, you can choose one of them, which will become contrast. The end wall of dark color is a great way to make a little wider a narrow and long room. It will bring depth and dynamics to the interior.

As contrasts, you can use colorful prints or bright wallpaper. To revitalize the interior, use them behind the bed.

Ceiling

It does not have to be snow white. You can decorate it by one-half lighter than the walls. In recent years, designers are very fond of using ceiling gypsum plasterboard structures. It's no secret that they somewhat weight the arch, but having formed a separate low corner in the form of a threshold, you can visually increase the room, and the ceilings will seem higher.

Another interesting solution for the ceiling design. A glossy light stretch ceiling of one color range with walls will significantly expand the space. Since we are talking about ceilings, it is necessary to say that if in your small bedroom they are high enough, take advantage of this, and equip the loft bed. It will help create an original and interesting design for a small bedroom.

Bright interior

Recently, the European Association of Designers conducted a survey of homeowners, according to the results of which it was found that more than half of them do not perceive the design of small bedrooms in absolutely light colors.

There is an opinion that red color is unacceptable in the bedroom. But is it really so? The range of its shades is so great that it is easy to pick up a suitable option that will not irritate the owners. The saturated light-burgundy color is ideally combined with beige curtains and carpet covering, creates an original memorable interior.

Mirrors

In addition to using light colors for the decoration of small rooms, there are other design techniques that visually move the walls and raise the ceiling. One of the most popular of them is the use of glossy, glass and mirror surfaces. The use of built-in furniture and suspended structures without supports is welcomed. It is advisable to avoid blind doors and screens.

But let us return to the remarkable invention of humanity - mirrors. They will by no means spoil the design of a small bedroom in the apartment. With their help, you can significantly expand even the smallest room. The mirror must be large. Arrange it in such a way that it reflects light or well-lighted objects.

You can fix several small mirrors over the headboard, which also serves as a visual extension of the space.

Study in a small bedroom?

Someone will surprise this question. And completely in vain. The design of a small bedroom in the apartment (the photo you see below) allows the creation of a workplace or a corner for creativity. They can become a surface of the window sill, a little extended and reinforced with a table top made of wood.

It is possible to decorate the working surface of the mini-cabinet as a rack: this design will take even less space, since it is fixed to the wall and does not require vertical supports.

Lighting

Good thoughtful lighting plays a big role in any room, and in a small bedroom especially. Natural light from the window, not drowned in a dense cloth, will make the room spacious and bright. When choosing artificial light sources, try to arrange them at different levels. In this case, each of them will perform a separate function, and together they will increase the area of the bedroom.

Undoubtedly, built-in lamps will save a little space. Suspended classical chandelier is only permissible at high ceilings. If you have organized a workplace in the bedroom, then for him the lighting should be thought out separately. It can be an adjustable wall lamp or a table lamp - it all depends on your needs and desires.

The design of small bedrooms should have different light sources: decorative light from floor lamps and nightlights, working and general lighting. Your little bedroom will only benefit if you highlight the shelves and niches. This will create an interesting reflection game, and the interior of the room will not be lifeless and flat.

Choosing furniture

The interior design of a small bedroom is quite specific. This also applies to the selection of furniture. It is necessary to take into account a lot of nuances. In this case, this choice affects even the type of door: which side it opens to. The bedroom is a special room. It is meant for a complete rest of a person, so ideally it should be separated from the rest of the apartment. The sliding doors are best for this purpose. This model will save space as much as possible.

If in your bedroom there is only a sleeping area, then in its interior should be:

• bed;
• Ottoman;
• A bedside table ;
• Dressing table (if space allows).

This is a set of furniture for a small bedroom, with limited functionality. This option is suitable for such apartments, where it is possible to create a separate dressing room, or in other areas to install storage cabinets.

You can use several small lockers, replacing them with one big one. In this case, hanging cabinets and floor stands will not occupy a separate place in the room. As a rule, they are placed above the head or on the side of the bed, they are attached to the windowsill.

Higher pedestals are quite suitable for needlework or installing a laptop. The design of small bedrooms allows you to place more open shelves, on walls, in piers and niches, rather than occupying priceless free space.

How to put a bed?

No matter how small the bedroom, the bed in it should be comfortable and wide. Of course, models with drawers are worth a lot, but this saves the person from buying extra furniture, making them more functional.

Somehow it so happened that the bed is most often set back to the wall. A variant of its location near the window is rarely considered. And experts believe that this is an interesting device that allows you to save a lot of space. In addition, you will be able to wake up not from the annoying ringing of the alarm clock, but from bright sun rays.

Design of a small bedroom-living room

In this section we will talk about the prevalent in our time planning. This is a studio apartment in which you want to create all the segments necessary for living and comfort. Most often, the design of small bedrooms of this type is shifted. We mean that usually in such a room instead of a full-sized double bed a sliding sofa is used, which allows not only to save space, but also to meet guests in this room.

In young families, over time, there is a need to separate a small living space into zones, for example, after the birth of a child. In this case, the partitions and various configurations of the screen (transparent or matte) are very helpful. For the zoning can be used racks with open or closed shelves, and sometimes fabric curtains. The color palette in both parts of the room should be uniform, which creates a general atmosphere of the room.

Decor and Accessories

And in conclusion we want to focus your attention on the little things, without which the interior of any room, regardless of its area, will look unfinished and lifeless. It's about decorating items and accessories in the bedroom.

• Bright pillows emphasize the individuality of the interior.
• A picture, a few mirrors or photos within the framework corresponding to the interior, will create coziness.
• Even in a very small bedroom, a canopy over the bed would be appropriate. Textiles for him should be easy. Use organza, tulle, any light fabric, which is collected by a decorative cord of a brighter color.
• From the same it is desirable to execute and curtains on the windows. This will add your small bedroom space and volume.

Conclusion

The design of a small bedroom, a photo of which is not too often seen on the covers of glossy editions and authoritative design magazines, provides scope for your creativity. Take into account the recommendations of specialists, but bring them something special, special. Only in this case, on a very small square you can create an exclusive interior, which will be very proud.
