Good interiors are about optimally utilizing the space you have.  When it comes to bedrooms, there are a few things which cannot be listed out while designing. A bed, side tables, lights, dressing area are inevitable in a well-furnished bedroom. 

Over the years, interior planning has evolved itself to accommodate the shrinking carpet area. We have listed some efficient and functionable space saving ideas to bring aesthetics even in a small space.

Folding Beds

Folding furniture is back in trend with home sizes shrinking in the metropolis. This can help you convert your one-bedroom apartment into a family home. An extra folding bed can easily accommodate a guest and can go right back under the bed when not being used. 

Get Creative With Headboards

A headboard will raise the height of the bed visually and make your bedroom look majestic without too much furniture.  You can custom design your own headboard in patterns which align with the rest of your upholstery. Velvet upholstered headboards with large tufted buttons give a luxurious look. You could also opt for wood headboards for a minimal bedroom.

Experiment with the mediterranean style mosaic tiles or an art installation in place of a headboard for endless possibilities in the room where you dream. Beds with attached headboards are also a great alternative. Stylish divan beds from Sonno will look luxurious while allowing you to store accessories and linens in the underbed storage.

A Statement Bed

A four post bed will automatically upgrade even your small bedroom. It could be a box bed too to keep your room clutter free everyday.  You can combine textures, silhouettes, and upholstery to customize your bed too.  With an eye-catching bed, there will not be much you will need other than lights and curtains to make your bedroom look stylish and sophisticated.

Choose Same Color Spectrum

Using the same shade card can make your small bedroom look aesthetic.   If your headboard, wall color, and curtains are light and dark shades of the same color family, you can throw contrasting pieces of art or side tables to create depth.   Use wallpaper on one wall to make your bedroom look designer without spending a fortune.

Mix Patterns

If you are also fascinated by the vintage, rich, baroque art then you can experiment with intricate patterns on cushions, bedsheets, curtains and other upholstery to give a Victorian look to the small bedroom space you have. This can make your bedroom feel cozy and rich at the same time.

Keep It Low

If you have a low ceiling, it can automatically make the bedroom look like a pigeon hole. Choose low beds and sitting to create more headspace and give an illusion of airy vastness to even a small bedroom. Low sitting is as such more comfortable and warm especially by a fireplace. Add some low stools for your coffee or books  to utilize the space effectively.

Customize

Customize bedding with motifs and get matching lampshades to complement your headboard. Put some bizarre art on cushion covers, throw rugs or a set of modern paintings. That will ensure the perfect balance between polished and fun.

Work With Symmetry

Just the way engineers draw a blueprint of the whole place from a single point of view from far, create the same measurement for your interiors. For a small bedroom with high ceilings, don’t let all the extra wall space go to waste. You can use pediments over doors to make ceilings seem even higher.

Bottomline

Before you begin with designing your bedroom interiors, get a second opinion from an architect to know what you should do to bring in more space. If you do not have the option of restructuring your bedroom, you can opt for minimalistic furniture and upholstery to give yourself more room. We hope the above solutions will help you in building your dream bedroom irrespective of the space.
