On the other hand, expressing your taste and personality is of great importance. Your bedroom should be your oasis and relaxation point, the one place where you can disconnect from the daily troubles and reboot your body and mind.Your vibrant personality should leave its mark on your small bedroom design, so don’t hesitate to choose dark hues on a statement wall as well as custom made wallpaper that will show off your headboard.

2. set the focus to a statement wall

As declared above, a statement wall can be just the right amount of color perfectly used on your walls. You can add contrast, richness and elegance through the right design. A delicate blue Islamic culture motif can add a bohemian vibe to your bedroom corner. A bold color choice will reflect a vibrant, fun personality that will definitely raise your energy levels every single morning. Use a diluted colorful hue on two of your walls and leave the rest of them white, especially the one that includes your window which will reflect the natural light beautifully into the rest of your small bedroom space.

3. emphasize the shape of the room

A key element in knowing how to decorate a small bedroom is mastering the understanding of your bedroom layout and taking advantage of its shape and size. A square room is quite easy to organize with a centered bed and a statement contrasting wall exposing your headboard, whereas a narrow room has limited options. In such a case the bed will definitely occupy the wall with the window serving as a headboard and an elegant wooden bench perfectly placed at the foot of the bed decorated with lovely scented candles, magazines, books and other accents will enrich your space.If your bedroom is constructed in a room with multiple other functions and you don’t have the option of having a private one, choose to mask it and offer yourself privacy with a set of white elegant curtains.You can also go the other way around and use one of your windows to construct your alcove bed as a focal point of the room with colorful pillows and beautiful bedspreads.You can add a single string of flickering lights to cozy up the atmosphere.

4. work light to your advantage

Natural lighting is a key element in a small bedroom design. It can brighten up the space, make it seem larger and more fresh.Work it to your advantage and be careful not to crowd the space by adding heavy curtains.If you do choose this privacy option, opt for floor to ceiling long curtains to provide the sensation of height to your room even if your window is not that large.French windows are beautiful elements that should definitely be put to value in any space. Let them breathe and express themselves freely without any constraints.

6. opt for compact nightstands

We all have to agree nightstands are a necessity. Whether we use them to hold our smart phone at night, to display our magazine collection or scented candles, they serve a function purpose we can not eliminate from the bedroom. Luckily, creative options exist, varying from compact nightstands in modern designs to narrow wooden nightstands that add a plus in the decor department as well. We especially love the turquoise drawer recycled into a nightstand presented below.
