If you lack square footage in your master bedroom, no one has to know it. Decorating a small master bedroom can be challenging. Fortunately, there are simple steps to take to create the illusion of space. An atmosphere that is light and spacious will provide an ideal place for rest and comfort. A few changes can make a huge impact without sacrificing style and personality. No one will ever know your master bedroom is small unless they have a tape measure on hand. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Hang a large mirror on the wall. A mirror creates an illusion of depth. Installing a mirror opposite a window will reflect light from the window and into the room, making the room appear larger.
2. Paint the walls with light, cool colors. This will brighten up the room and make a small room look bigger. A white ceiling will open up the room.
3. Install swing arm wall lamps to free up space on nightstands.
4. Choose a light color for flooring. Dark colors absorb light and will make the room appear smaller.
5. Create a headboard by hanging a rug, fabric or a tapestry on the wall behind your bed.
6. Move a small dresser into the closet to save space in the bedroom if your closet will accommodate it.
7. Utilize bright light in the room. Light creates the illusion of space.
8. Purchase storage boxes that fit underneath the bed.
9. Hang curtains higher and wider than your windows. Installing the curtain rod a few inches higher and wider will give the illusion of larger windows.
10. Choose simple bed and window treatments. The bed is the central focal point in the bedroom, and simple designs minimize the size.
11. Consider having some of the furniture and window treatments the same color as the walls, which will make the room appear larger.
12. Optimize space by mounting a TV on the wall. Mounting brackets can be purchased in retail stores and online.
13. Eliminate the need for a table beside the bed by mounting a shelf on the wall.
14. Avoid hanging too many pictures on the wall. Keep it clean and simple.
