From clever storage solutions to a proper layout, these are our best tips for a small bedroom

Bedroom with indoor plants and lots of sunlight

Small bedrooms present an obvious challenge. But aside from a lack of storage space, it can be difficult to style them appropriately as well. How can you make a small bedroom work? Thankfully, we have some small bedroom ideas and design tips that will help you maximize your space and make it look just as stylish.
How to make the most of a small bedroom

Storage is the main challenge when it comes to a small bedroom, but you’ll also want to make the space look bigger. Here are our tips.
Install built-in storage
A classic method of enhancing a small bedroom design is installing built-in storage. If you can perform a light remodel in your space, consider adding indented shelving or other built-ins. If remodeling isn’t an option — say, you live in a tiny apartment — go for furniture with built-ins like a bed frame with storage or a headboard with a shelf or organizer.
Closed storage will hide the clutter
While open storage is a go-to for many homeowners, it isn’t the ideal solution for those struggling to style tiny spaces. Let’s face it: Open shelving can easily become overcrowded and messy. This can greatly ruin the aesthetic of your space. Instead, we recommend investing in closed storage, like cabinets and dressers, to conceal the clutter and alleviate the visual weight in a design.
Simplify the color palette
Another effective tool for expanding the look of a small space is to simplify the color palette. Pick one to three main colors to decorate your space. Neutrals are a fantastic choice because they feel light, airy, and muted enough to appear subtle. Avoid adding too many colors, which can clutter the design.
Paint the ceiling
If you really want to make a small bedroom appear larger, paint the ceiling the same color as the walls. If your walls are taupe, paint the ceiling taupe as well. This creates visual continuity, which can "lift" the ceiling and make the room appear bigger.
