Small Bedroom Ideas That Are Big in Style Beautiful and Simple
Your small bedroom may be a blessing for a better night’s sleep. The American Sleep Association recommends keeping stimulating activities out of the bedroom. They warn that distractions like the TV, internet, and work can disrupt your sleep patterns. So, the less there is to do in your bedroom, the more sleep you set yourself up for. How’s that for smart design?
Here are savvy small room decorating ideas to help you create a bedroom space that may be small in square footage, but is big in style.
1. Floating Desk
Is your home office in your tiny bedroom? Maximize your space with a floating desk, which is basically an extra large floating shelf. You can create a DIY floating desk by putting a piece of plywood on top of a couple of shelf brackets. Then slide a comfy chair underneath and you’re done!
2. Colorful Throw Pillows
If you love color, but prefer an all-white room to make your small space look bigger, you don’t have to compromise. Simply add color to your room with vibrant throw pillows.
Can’t decide on a color scheme? That’s the great thing about pillows. You can get as many colors as you want. Mix and match. Store some under the bed and change them every week. Have fun with it!
3. Eye-Catching Chandelier
Your options for small bedroom decorating ideas are starting to look up! Adding a unique chandelier or pendant light is an excellent way to give your room a focal point and add some cozy lighting.
Choose a chandelier that suits your style — modern and sleek, flashy and glamorous, elegant and traditional — there are all kinds of lighting fixtures available online and in stores.
4. Cozy Area Rug
People often focus their bedroom decorating on the walls, shelving, furniture, and bedding. But don’t forget the floor. An interesting area rug can instantly add warmth to a room, or a pop of color. Play around with the texture and find something that looks good and feels great on your feet.
5. Bedside Table Shelving
One more bedside table idea — shelving. Floating shelves work great as a nightstand. You can place them at the perfect height and if you DIY it, you can get the shelving cut to the exact size that fits your bedroom. Floating shelves come in a wide range of materials, too, from wood to glass to metal.
6. Sleek Sconces
No room next to your bed for a lamp? Wall sconces are a smart solution to add reading or task lighting to a small bedroom. You can go for a modern look or a traditional style. Or get crazy and mix and match your sconces for an eclectic look.
7. Gorgeous Greenery
Make room for plants! Just because your bedroom is small, doesn’t mean you have to skip the greenery. Adding houseplants to your room makes it feel more alive and plants actually help clean the air. To maximize space, try wall planters. They turn your plants into works of art.
8. Breezy Curtains
If your small room is short on windows, you can still get things flowing by using curtains to decorate. Two smart ways are to replace closet doors with curtains or use curtains to create a room divider. Either way, be sure to pick colors and textures that feel good in your space.
9. Sparkling String Lights
String lights aren’t just for the holiday season! They’re a cool way to create interesting lighting or art features in a small bedroom. Hang them on the wall, ceiling, headboard, or anywhere you can imagine. And tiny lights come in a wide range of colors to make your small bedroom look even more magical.
10. High-Contrast Color Scheme
Pairing white with a high-contrast color is a big-impact way to decorate a small bedroom. Sticking with just one bold color, plus white, creates a dramatic look. And you can use this high-contrast effect in bedding, wall paint, artwork, rugs, and beyond. Here are some of our favorite high-contrast combinations:
–Navy and white for a nautical look
–Black and white creates a photographic vibe
–Pink and white reminds you of love and romance
–Turquoise and white gives you a beachy feel
–Yellow and white make every day a sunny day

11. Tiny Wall Art
Small rooms are the perfect place to create the tiniest art gallery. Shop thrift stops, galleries, and home decor stores for small paintings and prints. Then hang a bunch of them on one wall for an eclectic collection. You can even make your own art by painting small canvases or canvases of different sizes that are on the smaller side.
Also, consider getting your favorite photos printed in 3×5 or 4×6 sizes and displaying them on the wall. The more and the smaller the better!We’d love to know if any of these ideas have you inspired to change up your current space!
