When one of the rooms in an apartment is assigned to a bedroom, the choice usually falls on the smallest room. What furniture is primarily placed in the bedroom? Bed or sofa.
Where to store bed linen
It is convenient to store underwear and clothes in the bedroom. Another closet or chest of drawers. As a result, there is practically no free space left in an already small room. This situation begins to "crush". You don't want to stay here, let alone rest. If you approach the arrangement of furniture and interior items rationally, with knowledge of the matter, put everything in its place, then in a small room there will be a lot of free space.Or at least that is the impression. We will talk about several methods that will visually enlarge a small bedroom.
Reasonable arrangement of furniture
Of course, the furniture in the bedroom is necessary. And for storing bed linen, and for clothes. Interior designers will tell us how to properly arrange furniture in a small room.
- Start with the bed. Install the bed in the bedroom as the most bulky item and after that plan the placement of the rest of the furniture. Place the bed in the corner opposite the entrance to the room. This frees up space for entry and space in the middle of the room.
- Follow the "free wall" rule. Don't fill all the walls with furniture. Leave one wall free. This will give the room lightness.
- Keep proportions. Don't cram a double bed into a small bedroom. Use the rule - "the smaller the room, the smaller the bed." The problem with a spacious sleeping place is solved with the help of folding furniture or transforming beds.
Selection of colors
The design of a small bedroom should be monochrome. The fewer colors used in the design, the more spacious the room seems. A large number of colors gives the impression that the bedroom is fragmented into small areas. For small spaces, do not use more than 3 colors. Neutral main background and 1-2 shades as an accent. Light colors visually expand the space. The dark ones make it small and gloomy.
More mirrors and glossy surfaces
One of the most effective techniques in small spaces is the use of large and small mirrors on the walls.Mirrors can be built into a large wardrobe, hung separately on a full-length wall, or it can be a large floor mirror. Furniture with glossy doors also has the effect of visually expanding the space.
More light
The more natural daylight and sunlight that enters a room, the more spacious it looks. Instead of heavy curtains, hang light transparent curtains on the windows. Install large spotlights or spotlights that shine on mirrors or glossy furniture. Furniture and curtains must be the same color as the trim.
The importance of the focal point
Designers have one effective trick - creating a focal point in a small room. Usually this is some object that attracts the eye. This item is located in the corner farthest from the entrance. Entering the room, a person directs his gaze to the opposite corner and he has a feeling of a leaving perspective. It can be a beautiful picture hung over the bed.
