Often, when purchasing a new property, many homeowners enjoy the process of making their new house into a home. Completely redesigning every room can be an exciting task, however, when faced with a small space, this task can soon become much more difficult. It isn’t uncommon for bedrooms to be smaller than other rooms in the home, and many homeowners do not know how to make the most of the small bedrooms that they have.
Whilst you may feel as though you have limited interior design options and you’re unable to choose furniture that you love, this doesn’t have to be the case. Thankfully, with the right design tips and some clever techniques, you can easily turn a small bedroom into a relaxing space. To help anyone who is looking to transform the small bedrooms in their home, our team here at Ashford Kitchens & Interiors who specialise in bedroom design in Surrey, have put together a list of some of their top tips.
Make sure you have plenty of storage solutions
All bedrooms require ample storage and when the space is small this is even more important. Use a range of storage options to ensure that everything has a home and you can keep the room free of clutter. With so many different storage solutions available, try to find the options that work best for the space that you have and also your individual needs.
Be smart with the bed choice you make
Whilst it can be tempting to purchase a huge king size bed, it is fair to say that this isn’t always the best idea for a small bedroom, even if it will fit in the room. Be smart with the bed that you buy and ensure that you choose something that is in proportion with the space you have. Think about things such as under bed storage too.
Opt for bespoke bedroom furniture
Purchasing flat pack furniture isn’t always the best idea when you’re furnishing a small bedroom. Opting for bespoke bedroom furniture will help you to make the most of the space that you do have and ensures that everything you’re putting into the space has a purpose and is able to meet your needs. Fitted sliding wardrobes are a great solution for small spaces as you don’t need to allow room for the wardrobe doors to open.
Don’t fill the space with unnecessary items
Whilst it is important to accessorise in a bedroom to add some personality to the space, be careful not to overload the room with unnecessary items. By adding lots of bulky items you will clutter the bedroom and reduce the amount of free space, which is undeniably important to have in any room. So, be smart about how you choose to add things such as colour and texture.
Try to keep the layout as simple as possible
The layout is usually one of the things that people struggle with most when re-designing a small bedroom, but you just need to keep things simple. Think about the flow of the space and place your bespoke bedroom furniture where it makes sense for it to go. Don’t overcomplicate things for yourself by questioning the layout, just place things where it makes sense for them to be.
Create the illusion of space
There are lots of ways that you can trick the eye when you have a smaller room too. One of the best ways to do this is by having a couple of mirrors in the space, these will then bounce natural light around the room making it seem much more spacious and airy. Why not consider mirrored doors on your bespoke fitted wardrobes?
Re-designing a small bedroom
Hopefully, the tips above will help turn the challenging and sometimes frustrating task of re-designing a small bedroom into something much more exciting and fun. It goes without saying that when you know everything mentioned above, it is much easier to transform the small bedrooms in your home and just because the space is small doesn’t mean that you can’t make it into somewhere that you love to spend time.
