Small Bedroom Design Ideas To Make Your Space Feel Bigger Than It Is

Elevate your space

An elevated bed is a great way to hide extra storage.

Add drama

One way to make a small space seem grand is to have a showstopper piece, like this chalkboard wall in Wayne McGill and Chad Farquharson's bedroom. Combine that with a glam tufted headboard and luxe patterned pillows, and visitors won't even notice how small the room is.

Use your angles

Push the bed against a wall to save up on space and create a cozy nook in your bedroom.

Embrace colours

Along with rich aubergine walls, a selection of plush, textural bedding in blues, yellows, golds and white and a green linen bedspread makes the bedroom feel cocoon-like.

Hidden storage

Squeeze in extra storage wherever possible, like under this bed, where the mattress lifts up to reveal an extra hiding space below.

Use patterns

The wallpaper and colourful elements add character to this small bedroom and give your eye a focal point.

Hide storage with doors

Save space with sliding doors! This one allows for an antique armoire scored on Craigslist to be in the room.

Unexpected placements

Positioning the bed front and centre near the entrance, in between the kitchen and the rest of the living space—not the placement you might expect—makes the window a perfect backdrop, eliminating the need for art.

Cozy it up

Up the coziness factor in a small bedroom by filling it with blankets and throw pillows.

Let the light in

The wood elements add warmth to the bedroom, while open windows make it seem bigger.

Add texture

Texture adds new touch points in the room, so your eyes have lots to look at—which takes away from a small-feeling room.
