Rooms with a small area are a real challenge for designers. It will not be easy even for professionals to create comfortable conditions in them, while giving the room originality. However, do not get upset ahead of time. With the right approach, even in such rooms you can achieve good results.
As a rule, the interior design of a small bedroom should be not only stylish, but also functional. In this room, a bed is installed on which the owner can sleep or just relax. In addition to this item, there should be other furniture in the room. In order to use all the space, you will need to properly manage the available square meters.
Due to the fact that modern technologies are constantly developing, it is now possible to significantly save space. For example, having purchased a LCD TV, there is no need to install a stand for it. Now you can just mount iton the wall. Naturally, this will make room for a pouffe or other piece of furniture. There are also special design tricks, using which in the interior, you can visually change the perception of the room. But about which ones and how to apply them in practice, will be discussed in this article. Let's also talk about interesting interior ideas for a small bedroom.
Room style
Before you plan a space for relaxation, you need to study all the available design styles. Unfortunately, the limited size of the small room does not allow any direction to be reproduced. The fact is that some of them involve the use of rather bulky furniture, and in large quantities. There are also styles in which you need to use a lot of decorative accessories. And as you know, the more small details in the room, the visually it will seem smaller.
Let's take a look at the available styles for a small bedroom interior.
- Provence. This direction involves the use of pastel colors, which contributes to the visual expansion of space. A positive atmosphere, so necessary for relaxation, is created with the help of floral ornaments and natural materials. It is not worth completely abandoning decor elements, since this style allows the placement of various accessories.
- Modern. This style is a tribute to modernity. It is comfortable and practical. Surprisingly, it is in it that you can combine variouscomponents taken from other design directions.
- Japanese style. This direction is ideal for connoisseurs of national color. You can use a different color palette in it: from light natural shades to quite bright ones, such as red, orange.
- Classicism. In a small bedroom in its original form, the classic style, unfortunately, cannot be reproduced. However, this does not mean at all that it will have to be abandoned. When choosing this direction, you will need to take into account special requirements: symmetry, compositional unity, luxurious elements, complex shapes, natural materials, an abundance of textiles, natural ornaments.
- Minimalism. This style for a small bedroom is the most optimal. With its help, it will be possible to create a space that is conducive to peace and relaxation. It is possible to achieve such results thanks to a calm color scheme. The room, which is important, remains spacious and bright, only small inclusions are allowed to place accents. All forms should be simple. The interior is dominated by straight lines. The focus is on functionality, meaning there should be nothing superfluous in the room.
In addition to these styles, such as hi-tech, loft, art deco are also popular. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that it will be somewhat more difficult for a person to reflect their features in a small space than for the above.
Design techniques for visual expansion of space
Most people face certain difficulties when choosing the interior design of a small bedroom. The main problem is the lack of free space. And if the physical dimensions of the room cannot be increased, then everyone can influence the visual perception. For these purposes, professional designers have come up with a lot of different tricks. Let's take a look at them.
- In order to visually expand the room, do not heavily clutter up the space between the front door and the opposite wall.
- Light colors make the room feel spacious and airy. Dark shades are recommended only as an exception. Bright inserts should be small and used in limited quantities.
- The drawing on the walls is of great importance. For example, when choosing wallpaper with vertical stripes, you can achieve a visual increase in the height of the ceilings. But the horizontal ornament, on the contrary, will contribute to the visual expansion of the volume.
- When choosing a floor covering such as laminate or parquet, it is recommended to install it only diagonally.
- The main thing is to install in a small room those items that are directly related to rest or sleep. It is advisable to use only what a person will interact with every day.
- Even in the classical style, you should not decorate the walls with a large number of paintings or photographs. Massive frames especially "eat up" space. The best option would be one picture, which is located above the head of the bed.
Paletteflowers
Many owners, creating the interior of a small bedroom, make the same mistake. The fact is that all designers recommend giving preference to light colors. And most people, taking it literally, choose a white tone. However, without the use of accents, such a space can easily turn into simply a hospital ward. To say that it will not be comfortable in such a bedroom is most likely unnecessary. In this case, it is mandatory to use at least three contrasting accents. Decor elements, textiles, furniture will perfectly cope with this role. Also in the rooms, the head of the bed is chosen as an accent. In some models, it is quite large, so it will do its job perfectly. Such a design technique can be seen in the interiors of a small bedroom in Khrushchev.
Pastel or neutral colors will be an excellent backdrop. You can combine with them any shades. Given that the bedroom is a place to relax, it is recommended to give preference to naturalness. That is, the color of wood can act as a bright element. In order to give the interior a luxurious look, you can use moldings. It is advisable not to highlight them with any particular color, but paint them in the same shade in which the main surfaces are decorated.
Contrast accent
If there are some difficulties with the correct distribution of bright inserts, and contrasting elements in the interior are simply necessary, then it is recommended to use photo wallpapers. In a small bedroom, they only decorateone wall. It is advisable to choose one that is not crowded with furniture, that is, it remains completely free. Also, with the help of photo wallpaper, it is easy to correct layout flaws. For example, in a long room, you can bring the most distant wall closer with the help of a large plot composition. That is, the size of the canvas must reach the height from the ceiling to the floor.
Dark bedroom: pros and cons
Oddly enough, but modern ideas for the interior of a small bedroom include finishing in dark colors. These colors look quite impressive, which is why many people want to see a break room like this. And although this type of finish is rather controversial, there are exceptions to all rules. Designers allow the use of dark colors even in small rooms, but it is worth noting that creating a harmonious space is much more difficult.
Undoubtedly, a dark bedroom has its advantages. For example, when using such tones for wall decoration, the boundaries of the room visually dissolve. The corners are smoothed out, resulting in a cozy atmosphere. Of course, there are quite a lot of such representatives of the palette, but for this room, the brown scale is still preferable. Under no circumstances should the color black be used. In this case, the room will be gloomy.
A bright bedroom is the best option

Photos of the best projects are presented by professional designers ina large number, some of them are in the article. Based on these works, you can think over the design to the smallest detail. An important advantage of a bright bedroom is that minor errors will be invisible, which, accordingly, will not spoil the final result.

It is important to understand that red has a wide range of different shades. And some of them will fit perfectly into the bedroom. For example, if you choose a light burgundy shade for wall decoration, then the negative impact can be neutralized by beige window drapes and flooring. Based on this, it is definitely impossible to say for 100% that red should in no case be present in large quantities in the bedroom.
Wallpaper in the interior of a small bedroom
Which is better to choose wall decoration in the bedroom? Although a wide range of various materials is currently offered, butYet most people prefer wallpaper.

The compositions of the two look the most interesting, which will harmonize with each other in color and texture.
However, when choosing patterns, it is worth considering some nuances. They are about visual effects. For example, in a narrow and long room, in no case should you use wallpaper with a vertical stripe. The fact is that they are designed to increase the height, but at the same time the volume of the room will visually appear much smaller. There are also requirements for the size of ornaments. In a small bedroom, it is better to use wallpaper that is decorated with small patterns. Too large print will visually reduce the area.
