Tiny Bedroom Ideas: Tips for Decorating and Makeovers

Keeping small rooms stylish is difficult because you have to maximize the available space for more important things than decorative pieces. However, you can incorporate both storage and style in your bedroom with these tiny bedroom ideas.

  • Add illusion of depth with mirrors. HGTV suggests that putting mirrors is a good idea for bedroom makeovers as they create depth in a space. You can either hang several mirrors in one area for visual interest or use one huge mirror to create illusion of space.
  • Use repetitive patterns. According to House Beautiful, using repetitive patterns like stripes make your tiny bedroom look bigger than it actually is.
  • Store items under your bed. Maximizing space is the key in a tiny bedroom, and one of the most effective decorating ideas for those with limited space and coming up with storage under the bed. You can make one on your own using wooden stacks, or you can buy a bed that features drawers underneath.
  • Install a built-in dresser. This decorating tip is ideal for bedrooms with no space available for a stand-in cabinet or dresser. The idea is to "bury your bureau" to make most of the limited space. HGTV says that carpenters typically charge $25-$35 an hour for the task.
  • Limit your bedroom colors. According to HGTV, using similar colors in walls, furniture and bedding makes the space look bigger. To add visual interest though, you can add a contrasting color.
  • Pick space-saving furniture. Use furniture pieces that don't take up too much space in your tiny bedroom. You can use nesting tables with chairs that you can tuck away when not needed.
  • Make use of the vertical spaces in your bedroom. You can come up with various storage solutions using vertical spaces in your room. Some of these are floating shelves and hanging small baskets and buckets which can keep away the clutter in your room.
