A small bedroom is no reason to be upset. Furniture technologies are constantly evolving and make it possible to organize a functional space even on a small area. In addition, designers offer modern tricks to visually enlarge any room.
Thus, the purchase of the right furniture, as well as its competent placement will turn a small bedroom into an original bright room for rest and sleep.
Features
A bedroom with a small area has its advantages. For example, the main solution to the problem of small space comes down to buying transformer furniture. As known, such furniture is cheaper than the same interior items purchased separatelyaccordingly, furnishing a small bedroom, the owner significantly saves. Besides, for many people, it is a small bedroom that is psychologically more comfortable than a large room. It is easier to create coziness and a favorable atmosphere for relaxation.
The disadvantage of such a bedroom may be its uncomfortable layout. For example, it is not too comfortable to furnish an elongated room, although for such cases, designers have provided several interior solutions. Also a minus is the fact that such rooms are often dark, since it is impossible to install a large window in them and especially two windows. But the problem is again solved by some tricks, which will be discussed below.
Choosing furniture
As already mentioned, the most common solution to the problem of small space is to buy transformers, namely sofa beds. This option is especially good for studio apartments, where the room plays the role of a living room during the day, and turns into a bedroom by the evening.Another option is purchase of a bed with lower drawers. This purchase will avoid the installation of a vertical cabinet, which takes up a lot of space. When choosing a bedroom set, give preference to futons on low legs or beds on the catwalks.
This design technique visually raises the space, that is, makes it more voluminous and spacious.
When buying a cabinet, pay attention to models with mezzanines. Firstly, such a piece of furniture will again make the room taller, and secondly, every centimeter of free space that a small bedroom cannot boast will work in this way. Another feasible solution is purchase of a corner cabinet. In appearance, this design seems to be miniature, but in fact it turns out that it is a rather multifunctional piece of furniture, where you can place not only personal items, but also bedding and towels.
For a visual increase in sleeping space, choose sliding wardrobes with mirrored doors. It is worth noting that mirrors are the most famous method of designers who can visually expand the proposed small area. Therefore, they can be not only on the cabinet. You can place a large mirror over the bed, especially this trick will play well in the setting of a long bedroom, as the mirror reflection will expand the narrow space.
Another advantage of placing a mirror surface in the bedroom is due to its feature to make the room brighter, which is very important in a small bedroom.
Returning to the wardrobe, it is worth noting its other dignity. In classic chiffoniers, the door opens "to yourself", that is, during operation, such a cabinet makes the space even smaller. In addition, due to the small size of the bedroom, it is not always convenient - the opening doors beat against nearby objects or on the windowsill. When opening, the sliding doors move to the right and left, absolutely not violating the interior of the small bedroom, and they do not interfere with walking around the room.
Even if the closet is large and seems inappropriate to be placed in a small room, it will still be quite appropriate in cases where the owners have a large garment, which will still have to be placed in a small bedroom.
If you need to arrange a narrow space in which a volumetric cabinet cannot be placed, it is recommended to install lockers under or above the bed. When installing bedside drawers, make sure in advance that such an arrangement will be convenient and will not interfere with a person who has become awake. Another option is immediately purchase a bed with lockers in the head. In fact, the back of such a bed is a horizontal shelf on which you can place a part of things.
Also, designers advise when choosing a wardrobe in a small bedroom to choose white designs, especially they are suitable for the same snow-white room. If you add a rich accent to such a bright space, then the room will turn out to be bright, comfortable and even visually spacious.
If the choice of the owner of the apartment has stopped on the bedside tables then buy such models whose height will not exceed the height of the bedotherwise they will look massive and voluminous and add even more cramped space to a small space. If the room is very tiny, it is recommended to completely abandon the closet and store things in the wall in the living room.
Bed linen is always better to keep in the bedroom, so for this purpose it is enough to purchase a small chest of drawers.
When buying any furniture for a small bedroom refuse luxurious design, voluminous drawings, let it be a small elegant ornament. All excesses will look ridiculous in a small room. The same applies to lovers of figurines, photographs, paintings - try to avoid placing these items as much as possible.
Another tip for furniture color: Do not buy dark or too bright, all colors should be restrained, soft. In a small room it is permissible to use only one bright accent.
How to arrange?
When arranging furniture in a small room, you need to consider not only optimization, but also the aesthetics of the space.
Place the bed along the wall opposite the entrance. Avoid location near the door as much as possible, and do not place it in such a way that the entrance is at least cluttered.
- When placing furniture in a narrow bedroom, place the bed perpendicular to the longest wall, to visually level out the minuses of the room. An exception is the situation when, with this arrangement, the distance to the walls remains less than 70 cm.
- Try to keep the center of the room free.. Let all the furniture stand around the perimeter of the bedroom.
- Near the bed it’s customary to put some curbstone, for example: to place glasses, a phone, an alarm clock. If space does not allow, then install a mini-shelf on the wall.
- Discard items that are not particularly needed. For example, these include a pouf or a bench at the foot. These are convenient things, but are they needed in a small bedroom? Better leave this space empty to expand the room.
- The workplace in the bedroom is a must for those who work at home at the computer. To save the area, it is recommended to purchase a mobile table for a laptop instead of a computer table.
Beautiful examples
In this case, there is nowhere to put the closet, and then the tenants placed bedside drawers. Perhaps their location under the bed. It turns out a very ergonomic, comfortable, uninspired interior.
Another common option mentioned above is open shelves. It is recommended to place small elements on them at a far distance from each other, then the room will visually expand.
When designing a small bedroom, use modular furniture, which ensures the rational use of space. Oversized lamps can be arranged, zoning through this technique space.
An unusual option is black and white furniture. For maximum unloading of the space, a stack of books is used, which is a replacement for the bedside table, and a folding table is used both as a workplace and as a dressing table.
