Small Bedroom Secrets: 9 Ways To Maximize Space And Style

Use the picture rail

A neutral paneled feature wall behind the bed will give a small bedroom a focus and make it instantly refined.

Decide on a divan

A divan bed will benefit small bedrooms as it creates plenty of under-bed storage in the form of draws or ottoman space.

Coordinate the furniture

A reduced floor space means you should choose furniture wisely. Try a matching set of bedroom furniture to create a coherent look and opt for tall slim pieces for alcoves and awkward corners.

Accessorize with metallics

Make your small bedroom look luxe by choosing accessories made from metal. The shiny surfaces will reflect light around the room creating a brighter feel.

Include a statement piece

This beautiful fluted headboard has subtle wings that don't overextend into a tight space and the soft pink color lifts a dark bedroom color such as navy or black.

Streamline storage

Placing a floating shelf securely above a bed is practical in small bedrooms as it makes good use of empty space and draws the eye to focus on the bed.

Pick a theme

Tiny cabins in the woods prove that small can be beautiful. Channel this cozy hut chic with wood-paneled walls and decorative motifs such as woodland flowers and leaves.

Elongate with stripes

Give your small bedroom a smart and orderly look by choosing a nautical theme. Combine barely-blue walls with a section of white-washed wood paneling to bring in a coastal vibe

Layer pale tones

Stop a country-style small bedroom from looking boxed in with a bright white scheme, dressed in touches of gray and green.
