Small bedroom interior

The coziest bedroom is SMALL. The bedroom has no place for loud noises and bustle. And creating a comfortable space for sleeping and relaxing is not as difficult as it seems.

The problem of small bedrooms worries not only residents of apartments with a typical layout. Muscovites, Londoners, and New Yorkers suffer equally from crowding. World famous western designers have come up with not one or two, but hundreds of bedroom design projects.

Choosing a bedroom interior style

Small rooms seem to be designed in a rustic style. Of course, no one needs to put a spinning wheel in a corner and read at a torch, as was usual in Russian villages. But cute simple items made from natural materials and homespun cloth can turn the bedroom into the most comfortable place on the planet.

For categorical opponents of the village in any of its manifestations, the HI-TECH or CONTENT CLASSIC style is suitable.

Unfortunately, the design of a bedroom of 10 sq m in fashionable loft or chalet directions cannot be completed – they look organic and natural only when decorating large spaces. But individual elements and objects in these styles can be unobtrusively fit into any interior.

Features of bedroom design styles
Style	Character traits
Modern	Practicality, comfort, a combination of elements from different styles
Classic	Textiles, large bed with headboard, complex shapes and patterns, luxury and wealth, unity of composition
Provence	Pastel colors, natural materials, floral motifs, baubles
Japanese style	White, red, black plus neutral tones, the unity of style and philosophy, only natural materials, nothing more
Minimalism	International Japan. Pastel colors and a few accents, simple shapes, functionality

Modern style, or modern

Practicality in design is a requirement of the time. And the desire for simplicity and clean lines is manifested more and more with an increase in the pace of life and the complexity of the tasks that arise before us every day. Yes, and place complex designs in a small bedroom is simply nowhere. The fewer objects are in the room – the more spacious it seems. It is on this principle that Art Nouveau design “works”.

The main advantages of the Art Nouveau style:

no complicated lighting requirements;
comfort and convenience of furniture – one of the ideas underlying the style;
technological innovations are organically combined with this direction of design;
any materials can be used – synthetic or natural;
room for imagination – modern can create traditional and trendy interior items.

Note! Art Nouveau – a universal style, suitable for any room, regardless of their size and purpose.

Classic bedroom

In classic interiors, designers try to repeat the luxury and comfort of imperial bedrooms. The main emphasis in the room is a bed with a high headboard. Not even a bed, but a bed, designed not for ordinary sleep, but in order to indulge in bliss and idle rest. If you like a rich finish, lots of curtains and ruffles, soft pillows and beds with a high headboard – a classic bedroom interior would be the perfect solution.

Key features of the classic style:

a lot of textiles – from handmade carpets to draperies on walls, from multi-tiered curtains to bedspreads and bed curtains;
snow-white color, emphasizing the status of the owner of the apartment;
huge bed, necessarily with a headboard (usually generously decorated);
all items comprise a SINGLE COMPOSITION.

In a small bedroom, the classic interior can create a feeling of cramped and cluttered space. Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to the project and carefully consider the composition..

Provence style bedroom

Where romantic notes are more appropriate than in the bedroom? And what style can be more romantic than provence? The interior in the style of medieval France includes tender pastel colors, flowers in vases and prints, natural wood furniture and many useless, but cute souvenirs on the shelves. A little old-fashioned, but light and airy interior will make it possible to forget at least for a while about the difficulties of modern life.

A key feature of the Provence style interior is its naturalness. Everything here should be simple and clear, without unnecessary pretentiousness and pathos. Still, Provence is one of the options of a rustic style. This means that it is better to change silk curtains to chintz in a discreet flower, and to line the floor, if not with natural parquet, then at least with a laminate that well imitates an aged tree.

Little japan

Japan is not a country, it is a philosophy. The idea of simplicity, proximity to nature and the desire to understand oneself is reflected in the design. The Japanese-style interior is everything you need, but nothing more. Technological materials are best avoided, preferring wood. Unlike a Provence-style bedroom, silk is the most appropriate material in a Japanese-style bedroom. Try to think: what materials were available to the Japanese in the 18th century? Bamboo, wood, stone, porcelain and silk thread. They should be used as much as possible when decorating the room.

The Japanese are masters of mysteries and defaults. They see not so much light as the shadow that it gives rise to. This is evident in the lighting rules for the interior in the Japanese style. Instead of a chandelier or bright overhead lighting, spotlights or candles are used, arranged taking into account those objects that fall into a bright zone. At the same time, the light always remains dim, dull, not revealing all the secrets of the bedroom.

Japanese-style interior colors are contrasting white, red and black, and complementary neutral gray. You can make the room warmer by adding restrained natural shades – brown, coffee with milk, delicate beige. The Japanese-style bedroom is one of the few interiors where black furniture will be in place.

Features typical for the bedroom in the Japanese style:

strong enough, but at the same time dimmed lighting;
all materials are natural;
nothing more – each item should have a meaning, purpose and a clearly defined place;
the decorations are consistent with the idea. You can hang Japanese fans on the walls, put a doll in national clothes on a shelf, add a screen – but all elegant items should send thoughts directly or indirectly to Japan.
Simple geometric shapes of furniture. The excesses in the Japanese interior look ridiculous.

Minimalism style

Minimalism is somewhat close to the Japanese style. Both directions are characterized by a rejection of excesses, a desire for simplicity of form and an emphasis on free space. We can say that minimalism is an international variation on the topic of conciseness in design. Lovers of lush classics and unconstructive luxury are unlikely to like minimalism. But the residents small apartments in panel houses will appreciate it. The same style is preferred by many business people, inclined to organization and order in everything..

Both the low bed and natural shades migrated from Japanese style to minimalism..

Variations on the theme of minimalism can be many. This is a high-tech hi-tech with metallic shades and design innovations in the interior, or ethnic, where minimalism remains a craving for natural forms. Unlike the Japanese style, minimalism allows for a wider palette of colors and bright accents. Although it is better not to use more than three primary colors in the design, traditional white often remains dominant. The classic version is a combination of perfect whiteness with pastel gray or brown. Emphasis is placed on small bright objects. It can be sofa pillows, the head of the bed or a flower vase. The main thing is that the rest of the interior is designed in light and unobtrusive shades.

How to choose furniture

The choice of bedroom furniture, especially if there are few square meters in the room, turns into a real problem. Like it or not, you can’t do without a wardrobe and a bed in the bedroom. A full-fledged bedroom set with bedside tables and a dressing table in a small bedroom will look ridiculous. How to get to the closet if there is a dressing table on the way? Discard a single set of furniture in favor of individual items. Furniture (if you do not equip the room in the Japanese style) it is better to choose light colors that do not “eat” the space.

Cupboard

The best option would be a built-in wardrobe. Opening doors will not interfere with movement around the room. A mirrored cabinet door will help visually expand the bedroom. The less noticeable it will be against the background of walls – the better. If the layout involves a wall niche, it can make an ideal wardrobe for clothes. Read more about choosing a wardrobe for the bedroom here.

Built-in wardrobe - a solution for a small bedroom

Bed

Even if you have chosen a classic design – pay attention to the bed without legs. The lower your bed, the more free space remains above it, and the less the bed stands out against the general background. Bedspreads and structural elements, as in the case of the cabinet, should, if not match the color of the walls, be in harmony with it.

To save the extra 20-40 centimeters, buy a half bed (160-180 cm) instead of a double.

Bedside tables

It is better to abandon them completely, replacing the hinged shelves. Be careful when placing shelves above the headboard. Design by design, and a decor item accidentally dropped from a shelf can discourage the desire to think about the beauty of the interior for a long time, switching thoughts from aesthetics to health.

Fixtures

Instead of floor lamps and a ceiling chandelier, it is better to use recessed wall lights. Thus, additional elements littering the space will not appear in the room, and the light level can be easily adjusted.

Male and female bedroom design

Rather, “design for boys and girls.” Agree, no matter how romantic the guy may be, the pink bedroom with Barbie dolls on the shelves will look a little strange. For the design of the bedroom of a young man minimalism with ethnic elements is perfect. Decorative elements can be abandoned altogether. Their role will be successfully performed by accessories for a hobby of a young man or necessary sports equipment.

Men appreciate folding sofas, but more often they choose solid beds. This is a paradox, but with a bed it’s actually easier: you don’t need to put it in the morning and disassemble it in the evenings, although it is this practical feature that men.

Most likely, in the men’s bedroom you will need a small desktop with a nearby outlet (men more often than women work at home in the evenings).

Surrealism and strange decorative elements, which in the female room could tell about the “oddities” of character, in the men’s bedroom look appropriate and “talk about the deep inner world of men.” At least many girls think so.

The color scheme for the men’s bedroom consists mainly of dark, cold tones. Firstly, the dust is not so noticeable. Secondly, with correctly placed accents this is not “gloomy”, but “solid”.

In the interior of the female bedroom, bright and light shades are more common. Although an excess of pink is also useless. But no one will blame the girl for the Provence-style flower-bed bedroom and love for the many wooden birds on the shelf.

The wardrobe in the women’s bedroom should be larger than in the men’s – and always with a mirror. It will not be very convenient for the mistress herself to choose an outfit for the evening, if after each dressing she will have to run from the bedroom to the hallway with a full-length mirror.

Women’s bedroom can be designed in any of the styles. It is advisable to provide more cabinets, drawers and shelves for cosmetics and accessories.

Bedroom interior with balcony

A small bedroom, and with her small balcony? If you think about it, this is the ideal layout for creating a Provencal style bedroom. The balcony can be turned into a cozy place for a summer vacation with a book and a cup of tea, putting a rocking chair on it, adding a plaid and a small lantern for the garden.

You can remove the partition between the loggia and the room, turning the “external” space into a full internal. In this case, the niche of the “balcony” should be decorated in the same way as the bedroom – in the same flooring and wallpaper.

Another practical option is to equip a small separate office for work on the won “squares”. The internal window sill of the balcony easily turns into a laptop table. The working area should be visually separated from the main space of the bedroom. – curtains, color or at least texture of wallpaper.

The bedroom with a balcony easily turns into a bedroom with a cot. Perhaps the re-equipment of the balcony is the easiest way to allocate a child a place in the parents bedroom.

How to combine a bedroom with a living room

I don’t really want to allow strangers, even close friends, into the bedroom. But in a small apartment you have to look for a way out. There are several tricks that help combine the bedroom with the living room and maintain the functionality of both rooms..

In a one-room apartment, where the bedroom is at the same time as everything else, the easiest way is to set aside a separate sleeping area and hide the bed behind a curtain or curtain. A similar, but more reliable option is the design of a niche, an alcove for sleeping. The additional partition is easy to build from drywall.

You can limit yourself to visual zoning – conditionally separate the bed from the rest of the space using shelves, shelving or simply limiting the floor space with a rug.

If you abandon the bed in favor of a folding sofa and hang a TV on the bedroom wall – during the day the room will not be much different from the living room.

Design a bedroom in a small apartment

Tiny rooms in small apartments are a curse of more than one generation. But they are suitable for all projects designed for small bedrooms of 10-12 square meters. All the rules for decorating small bedrooms also work for them – less furniture, nothing more in sight, light and more mirrors to increase space.

How to make a ceiling

If a in the living room and kitchen we do not pay attention to the ceiling, but the situation is different in the bedroom. When we wake up, we first look up – and most often we see white plaster with cracks.

In an apartment with low ceilings, the really best shade for the ceiling will be a uniform light tone. But not necessarily white. You can complement the design solution by issuing ceiling wallpaper.

Wallpaper on the ceiling
pros	Minuses
Dense wallpapers hide cracks and bumps in the ceiling	After a few years, the wallpaper will have to be replaced.
Inexpensive and quick way to diversify the interior	You can only wallpaper the ceiling in a room with even corners.

Artistic painting of the ceiling can be a substitute for wallpaper. If you don’t particularly paint on whitewashing, then a large element of the ornament that repeats in the rest of the interior will look great on a plain background made with paint..

How to choose wallpaper for the bedroom

Wallpaper is a universal way of decorating walls. There are no functional requirements for wallpaper for the bedroom. They can be embossed, smooth, washable or fabric. The main thing is the color. For a cramped bedroom, you should choose light wallpaper. A large or medium design will make a small room even smaller. Horizontal stripes on the wallpaper will help expand the space, vertical – to “raise” the ceiling. One of the options for implementing this idea is to paste two types of wallpaper in stripes. It is important to ensure that the width of the roll of wallpaper does not break off sharply in the corner of the room, and all the “strips” are the same.

Photowall-paper

There is not much space in the Khrushchev’s bedroom to show individuality and create an atmosphere with the help of decor. Wall murals can replace it. The wall easily turns into a London urban landscape or access to a tropical island. With the help of murals, you can turn the entire bedroom into a wild jungle – or a hot beach. It is important that the theme of the wallpaper is combined with the general idea of room decoration.

Examples of the best small bedroom designs

Choose curtains

The bright sun is not always a welcome guest in the apartment. Especially if you try to get enough sleep after a busy day.

Curtains in a classic interior should be complex, tiered, with tassels and curtains. For high-tech interior blinds are more suitable to match the walls, and Provence style – light translucent curtains. In a small bedroom, the curtains should not differ too much from the color of the walls and be as light as possible. When choosing curtains often forget about fixtures. Cornices should also be minimalistic and match the color and shape of the furniture.

Bedroom in a private house

A country house implies the presence of a large space – which means that there are almost limitless options for designer imagination.

The style of the interior can be any, but it would be logical to emphasize the differences between a house in the country and an apartment. In the bedroom of a private house there may be even more natural materials and elements reminiscent of the wild world – hides or decorative branches. Owners of a country house can afford a great addition to the bedroom interior – a wood-burning fireplace.

The naturalness of the interior is usually offset by an emphasized cozy and large bed..

How to make your own design

If you have a taste, it’s easy to design and design a bedroom. Before you start developing a project, evaluate a few examples from professional designers – this will allow you to choose the right style. After that, measure the bedroom to know exactly what size pieces of furniture you need, and estimate their approximate location on the plan. The next step is to browse the catalogs of furniture and wallpapers that are available in stores in the neighborhood, select the appropriate options and actually repair.

How to organize repairs in the bedroom

Making a full repair in the bedroom yourself is a risky undertaking. But even if you plan to hire professional builders, a minimum knowledge of bedroom repair is needed to control the quality of work.
