Decorating a small bedroom can be somewhat of a challenge, but it can be done tastefully and easily. Here are some tips on how to decorate a small bedroom.

Wall Color: Start by painting your walls a light color. When decorating a small bedroom, it is suggested that the moldings be colored in the same color as the wall, or within two hues of the wall color. This is so that the eye does not unnecessarily stop at the moldings. The ceiling should be painted a bright white so that the ceiling appears to be higher than it actually is.

Flooring: If you have the option of redoing your floors, use light colored wood and line them up diagonally in order to create the illusion of elongation.

Furniture: When picking out the furniture for your small bedroom décor, your furniture should be chosen based on the proportion of your bedroom. The bed will be the main focus of the room, as well as an essential furnishing. Besides the bed, you can add a chest of drawers for functional purposes and to enhance your décor. If the drawers are stacked so that they are high, rather than stacked next to each other, it makes the eye move up and down a narrow structure. This creates a leaner, longer, more spacious decor.

Mirrors: Mirrors reflect natural and artificial light and help make a small bedroom appear to be larger in size. Use mirrors that have a simple frame, without intricate detailing, throughout the bedroom.

Window Treatments: Leave the curtains open as often as possible to let in as much natural light as possible. A sheer or loosely woven curtain gives a feeling of breathability to the décor. The curtains in your small bedroom decor should be as long and fluid as possible.

Bedding: Use solid white or neutral sheets and comforters to create a clean look.

Once you have implemented these steps into your small bedroom décor, you will feel that you have created a look that is more airy and open as well as clutter free. Speaking of being clutter free, try to always keep your bedroom as clean as possible because the cleaner the bedroom is, the more spacious it looks.
