Small bedroom design

Bedroom design

Designing for any small room is difficult. When designing interiors in such conditions, it is not enough just to solve the issue of mandatory inclusion and convenient placement of all functional elements. In addition, you have to think about how to save usable space and leave as much free space as possible. A small bedroom in this sense is no exception. How to create an impeccable design project for such a room in a limited area, read this article.

Features of the layout of a small bedroom

The bedroom has many purposes, so just arranging a sleeping place is not enough. To equip a room that is as comfortable as possible for living, you need to consider a number of its functional qualities:

  • Despite the fact that the room is designed for sleeping and relaxing, it is necessary to provide free access for the unhindered penetration of natural sunlight and fresh air. Therefore, do not overlap the glazed areas with high furniture, clutter the window sills and restrict access to windows;
  • Do not choose large furniture in limited areas. It will absorb all the free space and will not allow you to create a comfortable room;
  • if there is a controversial question - is it worth giving up a full-fledged berth in favor of a massive wardrobe and buying a folding or corner sofa, we recommend choosing a high-quality and comfortable bed, preferably with an orthopedic mattress;
  • the problem of storage of things can be partially solved by buying a bed with a lifting mechanism. Under such a berth are roomy drawers in which a lot of things will fit;
  • You can visually adjust the space using mirrors and glossy surfaces;
  • for small bedrooms there are non-standard solutions. For example, a transforming bed, which can be instantly hidden in a closet or a berth that appears only at night. In the afternoon the desk top comes to the fore.Another option is an attic bed, in the lower tier of which there is a workplace - a worthy replacement for a crib;
  • a small bedroom can be made much more comfortable if saturated with stylish and effective accessories and textiles.

When developing the interior of a small room for sleeping, it is necessary to take into account the shape of the room. The choice of furniture arrangement depends on it in order to get a comfortable and functional room.

Rectangular or narrow small bedroom

The rectangular shape of the miniature room does not always allow you to place a full double bed in it and allocate enough space for storage. Consider the main options for the economical distribution of the space of a small rectangular bedroom.

  1. An excellent choice is the use of transformable furniture with a bed, which is lowered only during sleep. During the day, it is folded and takes up no more space than a conventional wardrobe. The choice of such a bed will not make you give up comfort. The transformer bed is equipped with an excellent orthopedic mattress.
  2. A berth equipped with drawers or drawers allows you to maximize the use of bedside space. Here you can place bedding, winter clothes, shoes. Such a storage system will eliminate the need to install bulky cabinets, and will make it possible to place a dressing or writing desk in the saved space.
  3. The podium, under which the sleeping place is hiding, equipped with a roll-out mechanism, allows you to almost completely free the entire floor area in the daytime. On a hill you can place a relaxation area with a sofa, a coffee table and a library, or organize a home office.
  4. A bunk bed with an attic allows you to equip a workplace in the same area with the bedroom. If there is no need for a desk, you can put a cozy armchair or sofa in the lower tier.This is a great option for a children's room. The grown-up baby will be delighted with him.

To visually make a room more square, a long wall can be decorated with wall murals with a perspective, and on the opposite, a cabinet with mirrored doors can be installed. Horizontal stripes that can be drawn or labeled with the shelving can help lengthen short walls.

Square small bedroom

It is easier to equip a square room than a rectangular one, even if there is a meager area. Therefore, the interior design process will be easier and more comfortable.

We offer you to consider examples of design and arrangement of furniture in a small square-shaped bedroom.

  1. In the square room, the bed can be installed with the head of the window, and on the sides of it can be placed cabinets that reach the ceiling. In one of them you can organize a storage system, in the other - if necessary, equip a hidden workplace or dressing table. If the storage issue has been resolved, there is no need for additional cabinets. In the free space opposite the bed you can place a chair with a coffee table or a sports corner.
  2. Another option for placing a bed is the headboard to one of the walls. Bedside tables are usually placed on both sides of it, but in a small bedroom you can limit yourself to sliding or folding shelves on both sides of the bed.
  3. If necessary, use the room not only for sleep, but also for leisure, you can replace the bed with a sofa. You should not choose a dimensional model, since it will not allow you to organize a comfortable space. Small accordion-type sofas are ideal here, which can be laid out with one movement of the hand.

Square bedroom

Small bedroom of non-standard layout

Non-standard layout is most often found in attics, in former non-residential premises or is formed in Khrushchev after zoning or redevelopment of rooms.Unusual interior details can be tried to hide or, on the contrary, highlight. For this, textured finish is the best fit. Against its background, equipment, hammocks, hanging racks will look interesting, and in a non-standard niche a bed of an interesting shape will perfectly fit - in the form of an oval or a circle. The interior, designed in this way, is characterized not only by comfort and convenience, but also by a unique, inimitable design.

Custom layout

Small bedroom with balcony

The design of a small room should be approached with particular care. First of all, it is necessary to make a list of the required furnishings. This list includes a bed, two cabinets, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a dressing table. After that, you need to ruthlessly cross out the points without which you can comfortably exist.

The presence of a balcony - allows you to use its space for storing seasonal things. Thanks to this, you can save a lot of space inside the room and refuse a chest of drawers or a bulky wardrobe, or just take them out onto a loggia. The insulated balcony makes it possible to use it as a dressing room or office. You can completely remove the double-glazed window and attach the former street space to the area of ​​the bedroom. From the former windowsill you get an excellent table or TV stand.

Bedroom without windows

The absence of windows in a small bedroom is a well-informed decision of many. When allocating a sleeping area, which is intended only for sleep, they try to spend a minimum of space. Its main content is a sleeping bed. If there is free space, the interior is complemented by a chair and a pair of nightstands.

A miniature bedroom with blank walls is chosen in case of acute shortage of territory. For its organization, you can re-equip the pantry, fence off a corner or a niche that fits the size.This room can be used both for permanent residence, and as a temporary room for guests staying overnight. The main advantage of such a room is that sunlight does not penetrate here, so in the morning annoying rays will not interfere with quietly inspecting dreams. In addition, wallpaper and textiles can retain their original color for a long time.

Loft style in the bedroom

There are disadvantages in this solution. And the main minus is the lack of ventilation. Since it is not possible to ventilate the room, ventilation holes must be made in the walls, and this violates the quality of sound insulation. Otherwise, there will be nothing to breathe inside the hermetically sealed space.

The second minus is the lack or complete absence of sunlight. If the bedroom is separated by glass partitions, this problem does not occur. Otherwise, you will have to constantly use artificial lighting. But if you enter this zone only to sleep, the lack of sunlight will not cause inconvenience.

Style selection

The interior of a small room should have its own face. For this purpose, the design of the room is developed either independently or with the assistance of a specialist and ready-made solutions. The style should be comfortable for the owner, so you need to choose it, focusing on your own taste, habits and preferences. Indeed, only its owners will have to be in this room, for outsiders the entrance to the private zone is closed. Therefore, try to listen to yourself and choose a style in which you will be comfortable falling asleep and waking up.

Room Style

Modern

The small bedroom of today is characterized by a combination of calm neutral shades, clear graphic lines, the absence of unnecessary, according to the owners, details.

In a modern style, reliable, quality, neat furniture without any decor is preferable. It will take much less space than elaborate models.Wall and ceiling decoration does not accept patterns and ornaments. Solid walls will make the room visually more spacious and airy. For decoration, it is better to choose light shades - gray, white or beige. Dark paints will find the best application in spacious rooms. But if white furniture is placed against the dark walls, the borders of the bedroom will move apart.

Modern bedroom

The floor is decorated with a laminate, carpet, vinyl tile or parquet board. Shiny metal fittings, chrome elements, glossy surfaces, mirrors with good reflectivity visually add volume to the room.

As accents can be paintings, floor lamps, indoor flowers. In a small room, it is better to use plain, non-eye-catching textiles. Lighting can be arranged using the built-in ceiling fixtures. They will not only not occupy precious space, but will also serve for its visual expansion. It remains to add a couple of sconces with delicate matte shades and the interior is complete. Such an atmosphere will contribute to the creation of the necessary comfort and calm atmosphere, and will set you up for a restful sleep.

Classical

This style is chosen by connoisseurs of luxury. Delicate shades of white, pink, peach, ideal for a small bedroom, are in perfect harmony with the elements of the classics - golden and silver details, stucco molding, crystal lamps.

The furniture, decorated with intricate carvings and covered with ivory enamel, will turn the bedroom into a palace apartment. Soft, leather or velvet headboards, expensive textiles in the form of velvet, brocade, satin or jacquard on the windows and canopy will make the decor truly royal.

Provence

For romantic natures who love French interiors, Provence will be the best choice. All details of Provencal bedrooms should be designed in pastel shades - white-blue, light green, pale pink, beige. Washed, as if shed chintz perfectly conveys the atmosphere of a French village.Textiles for bedding and curtains are best chosen with a small floral print, peas, cage or rhombuses.

Provence style

The furniture used is simple, without excessive pretentiousness. This may be a set of light unvarnished wood or furniture, painted white. The highlight of this style is the light aging of furnishings. Therefore, slightly worn furniture decorated with a patina will be most welcome here.

Loft

Loft style originated in production facilities - former warehouses and workshops, which at one time it was decided to convert into housing. A distinctive feature of such interiors is large areas and high ceilings. Since the small bedroom cannot boast of such parameters, it is not possible to realize a full-fledged loft here. But some elements of the style can be successfully used in a small room to create an original non-standard atmosphere.

Loft style is an ideal choice for a brutal men's bedroom. The walls in these interiors may be partially or completely devoid of decoration or even plaster. In some areas, concrete or exposed brickwork may appear as accents. The simplest, legless bed will ideally fit into such an interior.

The room should convey the spirit of creativity and freedom. Absolutely incompatible objects from different eras may appear in it. No refinement or decoration is acceptable here. The only thing that is permissible is one or two black-and-white images, a mirror in a simple thin frame and industrial lamps.

To visually enlarge a room in the loft style, you can install a sliding wardrobe with glossy or polished metal doors. For the same purpose, you can increase the window opening - to make panoramic glazing. From lush multi-tiered curtains it is better to refuse. Simple curtains, blinds or roller blinds can do their job perfectly.

Minimalism

This is the most successful version of the interior for the bedroom with modest parameters. There is no place for intricate jewelry, decor, catchy prints. Any excesses should be discarded. In design use one or two close or contrasting shades. Surfaces should be smooth and perfectly even. Furniture and fixtures in such rooms have clear and simple geometric shapes. This approach can significantly save space. This design of bedrooms is chosen by people with a rational attitude to everyday life.

Minimalism style

Scandinavian

Scandinavian interiors are filled with transparency and coolness. Airy white paints in combination with gray-blue or light beige shades are best chosen for decorating rooms on the south side. Cold shades create a feeling of lightness and freshness, help to transfer heat more easily. The Scandinavian bedroom should conjure up images of snowy expanses and rivers with icy water.

Oriental

The concept of oriental style involves the use of massive decor, so it will be quite problematic to completely recreate it in a small bedroom. We propose to limit ourselves to several elements of this ethnic direction. Wallpaper with ornaments will overload the space, so they should be used in dosage - as a decorative panel. The atmosphere of the East can be created by adding bright rugs, pillows, curtains, as well as lamps and mirrors in this style to the interior. It is impossible to imagine an eastern bedroom without the characteristic aromas and incense, which have a healing effect and help to feel like a real sultan or queen.

The choice of materials and finishing methods

When choosing materials for decorating a small bedroom there are practically no restrictions. There is no special humidity, strong exposure to ultraviolet rays.The main thing is to choose safe, environmentally friendly materials that do not contain harmful components and do not emit toxic fumes into the atmosphere.

Wallpaper with which print is suitable for wall decoration

Large plant or geometric prints are unacceptable in a small bedroom. They have a pressing effect, overload the space, cause anxiety and visually reduce space. An ideal option for such an interior - plain light wallpaper - smooth or with a slight texture. In extreme cases, you can use the finish with a small, dim and unobtrusive print.

Walls

The classic version of bedroom wall decoration - wallpaper. But if they bore you, you can always pick up an alternative option:

  • paint the walls;
  • stick wallpaper for painting - you can apply any shades and prints to them;
  • use photo wallpaper, mural;
  • wooden beam or panels;
  • regular newspapers;
  • large and small stones - however, such a finish slightly “eats” the space;
  • brickwork;
  • An interesting design is obtained from ceiling outlets mounted on the wall and painted with it in the same color. Such decor looks incredibly stylish and allows you to mask wall defects.

Mirrors in the interior

Mirrors and glass panels will help to visually expand the room, but it is better not to use drywall constructions. They will further reduce the already meager space.

Floor

For finishing the floor in the bedroom, it is better to choose warm materials - carpet, parquet, laminate, vinyl tile. Floors of light shades make the space more voluminous and airy, contribute to calm and relaxation. Inhomogeneous shades are best discarded, as they overly attract attention. To make the seams between the boards as invisible as possible, the material should be laid towards the window. It is better to choose a carpet that is plain, matching the color of the floor or completely covering the entire surface.Such a coating will not crush and reduce space.

Ceiling

Visually raise the ceiling will help a glossy canvas. It is able to visually double the room volume due to its high reflective properties. The ability to reflect is also very useful, because it helps to saturate the room with light and make it more comfortable.

Romantic natures can choose a film with a picture of a clear or night sky, 3D-images and luminous elements. It is better to refuse large prints so as not to overload the space.

If you are not a fan of suspended and suspended structures and the surface of the ceiling is free from defects, you can restrict yourself to ordinary painting or whitewashing.

What colors to use in the decoration

The choice of shades also plays a large role in the design of a small bedroom. The bedroom in bright colors seems more free and spacious. However, the presence of bright and dark colors is possible.

The bedrooms in gray tones look trendy. A special highlight can be a smooth transition from dark shades to lighter. A similar technique has purely practical significance - the lower part of the walls is less stamped, and there is no clear division into top and bottom.

Gray bedroom

It is recommended to use a dark blue color in dosage in combination with white, light gray, pale blue, pale yellow, and lilac.

The turquoise bedroom will be a year-round reminder of the summer and the sea. In a small room it is better to use it fragmentarily, since it visually reduces the space.

White color in the bedroom is a classic of the genre. However, it is better to dilute it with a couple of pastel or bright shades, gold or silver. Sterile whiteness can quickly get bored, and besides, it causes unpleasant associations with the hospital ward.

Green shades create an atmosphere of freshness and naturalness, soothe and allow you to relax.The shade symbolizes life, so it goes well with natural colors - sand, turquoise, gray, brown, lavender.

The yellow interior allows you to compensate for the lack of heat and sunlight, uplifting. Yellow shades are best combined with white, green, brown, blue.

Lighting and lighting

The bedroom should have several light sources. Each of them plays a special role. One central chandelier in this case will not work, and in conditions of limited space it is better to completely abandon it. It will be enough spotlights on the ceiling. Bedside sconces must be present without fail. Every adult should have the opportunity to use a local device to read, not including the general light.

Textile selection and window design

Fabrics need to be selected, focusing on the general style. The main thing is that they be bright and plain. The maximum that you can afford is a small, inconspicuous print. It is better to refuse heavy portieres and complex lambrequins. It is better to use light and airy natural or synthetic materials.

In a small bedroom, one-color linen in white or pastel shades looks better. For a comfortable sleep, it is better to choose natural fabrics from silk, linen or cotton fibers.

Recommendations for the selection and arrangement of furniture

In a small room, it is better to abandon bulky furniture. Instead of a massive cabinet, it is better to choose lightweight modules that will comfortably fit on the sides of the bed. The main thing is to avoid cluttering up the space. Bedside tables can be removed from the sleeping bed or completely abandon them. In such interiors, podium equipment with a storage system and the use of transformable beds are welcome. The windowsill can be turned into a countertop and organize a workplace on it.
