Everyone wants a great bedroom. We dream of owning a spacious bedroom so much that the thought of it becoming cluttered is a mere afterthought. But what happens if unlimited space is not at luxury you have? Having a small bedroom is not something you should fear. These guidelines are suggestions for working with what you have to give your bedroom the gift of space!
- Maximize the sense of space by painting the room in a pale color. White, beige and cream are just a few examples.
- Use ceramic or wood flooring that runs in a diagonal pattern. Diagonal lines appear longer than lines running perpendicular or parallel.
- Get rid of the headboard and footboard. Headboards and footboards push the bed off the wall and take up space.
- Use a metal mattress frame and keep the bed close to the floor. Large frames give the sense of a large mass and appear bulky.
- Sleep sofas or a nice futon can be great for utilizing space. Couch during the day … bed at night.
- Don’t use too much furniture. Excess furniture can choke a room and its traffic pattern. A bed, nightstand and a dresser is all your room needs.
- Storage pieces that rise vertically, like a highboy, are better than pieces that jet out horizontally.
- Minimize the use of patterns in things such as rugs, curtains and wallpaper. Patterns such as polka dots, flowers, stripes and plaids can really fill up a room and take away the sense of space.
- Refrain from placing a large amount of pictures on the wall. Many designers state that one wall should be left bare to give the psyche a chance to relax.
