Functional furniture
How to furnish a small bedroom so that there is enough space for all the key elements? Choose furniture that can perform 2-3 roles in the interior at once. For example, the optimal solution for a small bedroom is a bed with pull-out shelves for linen and other things. The table should also have a sufficient number of drawers. Sometimes this is enough to avoid cluttering the room with a wardrobe and get by with a rack for several sets of clothes. This way you will have a minimum of furniture in a small bedroom and more free space needed for comfort.

Small bedroom design 2021
The design of a small bedroom 2021 in white colors can be made brighter using textiles, as well as various design techniques. For example, you can decorate the headboard wall with original photo wallpaper. At the same time, such a maneuver is ideal not only for white decoration, but also for small bedrooms in general, since the space will visually appear larger. And the horizontal planes of the bed will be balanced with other elements in the interior of the room.
Also, designs can be more complex, the design of which will require a lot of effort. After all, placing the necessary furniture in a small space is not an easy task. But there are also such options when the room, in addition to everything else, is also very narrow.
We suggest viewing a photo of a small bedroom design to view existing layout options, depending on the location of windows and doors. For example, an excellent design option is when the headboard is located by the window, or perpendicular to a long wall.
If there is only room for a closet near the door, you should not experiment with other options. This layout, by the way, will be quite convenient in the everyday life of any person who has a narrow bedroom. Although not according to Feng Shui, the design will look beautiful and practical when the bed is integrated into a set that starts with a wardrobe and continues with cabinets, shelves, and cabinets. This option is a great space saver.
If you decide to organize an incredible Art Deco interior, it will not be so difficult to decorate it in a small room. You can decorate the bed in an interesting color, for example, green. Since glass and mirrors visually expand the space, use cabinets, mirrors, glass, crystal objects, furniture with facades made of “metal” surfaces, and darken the windows a little so that rays of light enter the room.
For such rooms, a dark wooden floor would also be an excellent option, which also helps to visually increase the space.

Sometimes a small bedroom still needs a closet. Especially if you have a lot of clothes or other items that you store in this room. Or if this is a design for a small bedroom for two. But then there must be a compact option with a well-thought-out storage system. For example, a wardrobe that is too massive is not suitable for the design of a bedroom in a small apartment. Most of the clothes, except the outer ones, can be neatly folded. You will save so much space in your closet. This means that you can get by with a pencil case or a swing model no more than 160 centimeters wide. To decorate a small bedroom, you can choose a more original solution - a closet up to the ceiling (preferably the same color as the wall).

Furniture for a small bedroom
Undoubtedly, the main element of the bedroom is the bed. Sometimes it is replaced with a sofa. For a small room it will be a salvation, since during the day it can be folded and thereby free up additional space. But, if we talk about comfort for sleeping, the bed still takes precedence.
Moreover, nowadays there are many designs for this piece of furniture:
- bed on the podium;
- built-in plan models;
- beds without legs;
- two-story structures, etc.
To further save space in a small space, it is advisable that the bed be equipped with additional shelves and cabinets.
When selecting the rest of the furniture, you should focus on the following recommendations:
- Small size to save space. At the same time, furniture can be decorated with attractive stickers, and a flower pot can be placed on the desk.
- Multifunctional furniture - it will not only expand the space, but also save money. These are organizers, a closet with additional shelves, hangers and hooks. There is always a place for things here, which will not allow the free part of the bedroom to be cluttered.
- Plan in advance where you will place the purchased furniture. If you see that there is not enough space, give preference to a small bed with miniature bedside tables.
- When choosing a wardrobe and chest of drawers, choose a sliding wardrobe and a multi-functional chest of drawers, which should match the colors of your main furniture.
- If you plan to install a chair in a room, then it should be combined with the overall interior of the room and not be too bulky. Or the chair can create a contrasting spot in the bedroom with the presence of bright pillows.
- Do not block the space between the entrance and the opposite wall. In this case, the bedroom will look more spacious.
ATTENTION! Select only those furniture and interior items for a small bedroom that you interact with daily; all unnecessary items should be removed from the room. Only in this case will the sleeping area remain spacious.
Correct lighting
In order to make a small bedroom comfortable for both relaxation and work (for example, at a computer or sewing machine), you can zone the room using lighting. Like any other room with a small area, a mini-bedroom should be well lit. In addition to the main source of artificial light, the ceiling chandelier, install wall lamps. Equip your work area with lamps and spots. You will get a simple but effective small bedroom design.

Use mirrors
This is a proven design idea for a small bedroom. As you know, mirrors allow you to visually enlarge the available space. And in order not to occupy the walls that are needed for furniture, you can choose cabinets with high mirrors and a headboard. The interior of a small bedroom will become more interesting if you add mirror elements to the ceiling.

Textiles and carpets
How else to arrange a small bedroom? The room is intended mainly for rest and sleep. It should be cozy here. Therefore, try to add textile decor to a small bedroom (photo below). For example, curtains, interior pillows and bedspreads look stylish in the same color scheme. The carpet should either cover the entire room or occupy a small area in front of the bed or window. Otherwise, he will divide the room in two, which will visually make the room smaller. The interior of a small room should be thought out to the smallest detail.

Other Visual Techniques
How to make a small bedroom cozy? In addition to using soft textiles, there are tricks to visually enlarge the space, thereby making it more comfortable. When renovating a small bedroom (photo of options below), keep in mind that small drawings and prints visually make the room larger. That is, wallpaper with small patterns, thin parquet boards, mosaics, patchwork tiles will help you. Geometric techniques are appropriate - vertical lines raise the ceiling, and horizontal lines expand the walls of the bedroom in a narrow small room.

Furniture arrangement in a small room: walk-through room
Walk-through rooms are most often characteristic of Khrushchev-era apartment buildings, but modern apartment layouts also require their presence.
If the room has adjacent doors, then one corner remains “blocked”; it can only be used for small-sized items, for example, shelves. The opposite corner from the door should be filled with upholstered furniture - a sofa and armchairs, complementing the composition with a small table.
If the passage through the room is through, then it is best to divide it into two zones:
- Seating area with sofa and armchairs;
- A media zone in which to place a TV and speakers.
In any case, when arranging furniture in small rooms you will need to use your imagination. Furniture is not a problem; on our company’s website you can not only choose any furniture, but also arrange it using a special program in accordance with your taste and preferences.
Minimum decor
The design of a small bedroom should not be full of decor and accessories. Open shelves with souvenirs, a crowded window sill and a table - all this makes the room untidy and cramped. The interior for a small bedroom should be laconic. A painting, a mirror in a light frame, a flower vase on the bedside table are enough. A small bedroom can be made beautiful by designing walls, floors, stylish furniture, and a thin canopy (photo below).

Suitable interior styles
What to consider when designing a small bedroom? Choosing an interior style. There are directions that involve techniques that are incompatible with small-sized premises. For example, the design of a small bedroom in the style of pop art, steampunk (look for photos on the Internet) implies flashy color accents and a lot of details. In Scandinavian design, on the contrary, there is an abundance of light and laconicism in accessories.

Window decoration
If you decide to place the head of the bed towards the window, do not forget to decorate it stylistically, which will significantly improve the appearance of the room in which you spend a third of your life.
We already said above that curtains protect from light, prying eyes, and noise. They can also hide an unfortunate view behind the window frame and complement the interior of the bedroom. Roller blinds have become especially popular lately. Low price, rich assortment and practicality are what attract buyers. In addition, you can choose the density of the fabric to balance the light level. Externally, roller blinds look rustic, so designers advise combining them with other types of curtains.
The choice of curtains also depends on stylistic decisions. So, for the Scandinavian style, stylish Roman curtains are suitable, and for minimalism, strict straight curtains without decorative elements or a complete absence of curtains on the windows are suitable. Blinds are indispensable in high-tech style. If you decide in advance on the style of the interior, choosing suitable curtains will not be difficult.
The bedroom is a place where strangers will not spend time; this is the room where you should feel good and comfortable, so you should not listen to other people’s opinions, even if these are the canons of ancient Chinese teaching. Be guided by your own desires and enjoy your vacation.
