Cramped bedrooms are no one’s ideal living situation. But sometimes we have no choice in the size of our bedrooms. We do, however, have some space-saving and space-enhancing solutions and tricks to make a small space feel comfortable and cool. Keep reading to see some examples and make a note of your fav small bedroom interior decor ideas:

Create an illusion of space

Paint is a great solution for so many decorating problems. Not only can a splash of colour instantly invigorate a boring space, but it can make it more welcoming. It can also be used practically to make small spaces feel bigger. Take for instance this small bedroom that makes use of fresh wall colours to open up the space and make it more inviting.

Invest in multi-function furniture

Look for pieces that can double up, such as a storage ottoman or a stool with storage at the foot of the bed or a bed with storage underneath that can be used to store extra pillows and bedding. Keeping the extra bedding out of sight helps create a clutter-free space, making it feel bigger and more organised.

Utilise awkward corners for storage

Awkward corners are often ignored since they are difficult to decorate. These ignored spaces can help create savvy storage solutions to prevent clutter from encroaching on a small bedroom.

Downsize your bed

If you need to sacrifice your queen or even double, don’t think twice. A single bed or sofa bed still has plenty of potential to be a stylish dream spot.

Make your headboard functional

While headboards add to the aesthetics and comfort of the room, if space is in short supply, ditch the usual style of headboard for one with a gap for storage where you can place things. This means you can do away with bulky bedside tables as you will have a convenient spot to store your bedtime essentials.

Colours are an important part of our culture. Our food, festivals, streets, clothes, everything around us reflects our penchant for bright colours. But when it comes to our spaces, we tend to shy away from adding colours to our homes. If you are afraid to introduce bold hues to your space, these bright interior decoration ideas will add a positive, vibe to your house:

Wonder wall

A pop of bright colour on the wall can make the space more exuberant. Choose a colour that will match your existing palette and furniture. Consider using yellows and oranges- these unusual colours for Indian homes actually work well with our furniture.

Paint the furniture

The coffee table is looking worn down and drab. The wardrobes are sturdy but look uninspiring. Choose colours that contrast with the rest of the decor scheme for maximum effect for that kitsch look.

On the ceiling

Colour on the ceiling could add a new dimension to a neutral living space. Consider installing faux ceilings and painting the moulding and trim in a contrasting colour that will act as the showstopper element.

Charming pastels

For an unexpected look, experiment with pastel hues in the living room or dining area. Pale blue walls will add a fresh touch to this traditional living room.

Colour in the kitchen

Consider using bright and patterned tiles for your kitchen floors and walls. It is a great way to add colour to a space that can get quite dreary with the daily grind. If your kitchen is prone to chaos and gathering clutter, then go for colour blocking for the tiles.

Use colour in the entryway

If your colour choices are often more reserved, step outside of your comfort zone by choosing a bold hue like red or purple for the entryway. It is unexpected and uplifts your mood every time you leave or enter the house.

Whether you have a large or small home, a singular room you wish to redecorate or the entire house, on a shoestring budget or not, follow these easy ways to change up your space:

Create an accent wall

If you are not quite a maximalist but you wish to add some colours and brightness to your space, an accent wall will do the trick. Consider a bright pop of colour in yellow, orange or green that is sure to make a statement unlike any other! If bright hues are not your thing, go for pastel wall decor and paint.

Opt for floating shelves

While all shelves are generally helpful, especially if you are lacking space in the house, one of the easiest home decor ideas is to add some floating shelves to display your favourite books, plants and knick-knacks.

Add cosiness with a rug

When your floors are looking outdated and boring, adding a chic rug will add cosiness to your home. Make sure that you measure the floor space and plan out where you want to place a rug before you purchase one!

Use storage pieces that double as decor

Instead of using plastic bins, try storage that is both stylish and functional. Rope baskets, storage ottomans and cane containers are all great options for keeping things tidy and organised at the same time!

Keep your bookshelf organised and aesthetic

Organise books by their colour or keep them separated by different decor options. Add interesting decorative objects you pick up during your travels or simply incorporate some plants, bookends or candles. This way, the shelves will become little conversation pieces rather than chunk of books.

Invest in one statement furniture

A kitchen table of your dreams, a supersized couch or one piece of furniture you really love, invest in key pieces of furniture that will add style and function to the space instantly.
