Smart ways to organize small marital bedrooms with a focus on decor

If you’re designing a bedroom for you and your husband, but your apartment is cramped, your space priorities are bound to change. You’ll likely need to forgo some of the “secondary” pieces of furniture, opting for a bed with storage, a closet, and some space to spread out your belongings.

• It’s important to think about each piece of furniture added to a small bedroom space and make sure it’s functional, without compromising on aesthetics.

• In a bedroom that’s not much bigger than the bed it contains, the bedspread becomes the center of attraction, and layering it with a few fun pillows can easily help beautify a small bedroom.
• When floor space is limited, walls can play a special role, especially built-in storage, or painted shelves…
• Decorating the ceiling is a great way to make a couple’s bedroom feel “personalized”.

10 decor items that make a small bedroom look bigger

10 decor items that make a small bedroom look bigger

If you have a small bedroom, there are many decorative elements that can make the space feel larger while doing its job of providing a safe, cozy retreat and helping you fall asleep. These elements include the following…

A large, tall mirror: Having a large, tall mirror in your bedroom helps to reflect light, making the space appear larger than it actually is.

1. Wall shelves: Shelves on the walls of your bedroom, especially around your bed, are an excellent way to store things.
2. Vertical lines: When decorating a room, choose items with vertical lines, which draws the eye upward and makes the room appear taller.
3. Slimline furniture: Choosing small, slim pieces of furniture is effective in making the elements not dominate the space.
4. Wall and ceiling lamps: Floor lamps look bulky and take up a lot of space, so it’s worth ditching the idea of buying them and replacing them with wall and ceiling lamps. On the other hand, luminaires can be placed near the mirror to add depth.
5. Bedside table: A traditionally styled bedside table can be replaced with a floating one with shelves. On the other hand, a single bedside table is sufficient, not two pairs.
6. The right colors for a small bedroom: Colors that make a small bedroom look bigger include those that reflect light, such as: White, light gray, or cream. However, this does not mean that you have to stick to one of the mentioned colors only for your small bedroom décor, but it is okay to graft one or two light colors that you prefer.
7. Buy low furniture pieces with exposed legs: Low furniture (the bed in particular) makes a small bedroom look bigger. On the other hand, a bed, and any other piece of furniture that belongs in a small bedroom, should preferably have thin, exposed legs.
8. Minimize accessories: The choice of pillows and blankets makes your bedroom feel cozy, but in a small space, too many pillows can feel cluttered.
9. Don’t let the curtains touch the floor: Excessively long curtains impede the flow of a room’s decor and can make it feel more short and cramped
