5 Small Bedroom Ideas to Make the Most of Your Space

Whether you are renting an apartment for the first time or have just moved to a tiny apartment in New York ou San Francisco, here are 5 interior design tricks to maximize space in a small bedroom.
1) Use vertical space
If you are running out of room, install extra shelves to your walls or add a free standing shelving unit. While it’s easy to overlook your wall space, vertical storage units can both enhance the interior design of the bedroom and help you organize your stuff.

2) Pick a color scheme and stick to it
While contrasting colors and prints work well in roomy interiors, they can easily feel suffocating when you have a small bedroom. That’s why it’s important to pick a color scheme that you love and stick with it. Lighter colors and airy fabrics brighten your walls and enhance the feeling of space, while darker colors and rich fabrics create a cozy den atmosphere.

3) Add mirrors to your wardrobe
It’s a well-known fact that mirrors create the illusion of more space. Instead of using a standalone mirror that takes up precious floor space, add mirrors to your closet doors. This not only makes your room seem bigger, but is also convenient for getting dressed in the morning.

4) Store items under the bed
If you’re not ready to sacrifice the size of your bed, look underneath your bed for additional storage space. Instead of sweeping a random assortment of items under the bed, buy a bed with inbuilt storage drawers to take full advantage of the space. If you already have a bed you love, use storage bins to strategically organize the large spaces under your bed. In addition, bed risers can lift your bed several inches higher, automatically creating more storage space.

5) Declutter
In a small bedroom, less is more. Cramming too much stuff into a small space can make a room feel overly crowded. Carefully select a few items that you use often or want to display, then put rest away. This will open up the room and highlight a few statement pieces.
