It is commonly thought that if you are decorating a small room, you
should use small furniture pieces and various other items in order to
make the room look bigger. People seem to forget that "less is more"
and makes for great impact when designing small spaces.
Small rooms don't have to limit you to smaller pieces of furniture in
order to present an open, airy feel. Frequently, placing a few larger
pieces in the room will not only assist in easier room flow but causes
the space to feel more inviting and larger than the square footage
actually is.
Another issue that many people have difficulty with when decorating
small areas is color. Frequently, deeper or brighter colors and
patterns on the grand scale in wall coverings are a better choice for
these little jewels. Think of colors that you feel comfortable wearing
or rooms where you've been that seem to enfold you with a welcoming
warmth.
Consider what the major use of the room will be. In the case of an
office used on a full-time basis, it is significant to think about how
comfortable you will feel day to day working in this room.
If working at home is your situation, you might want to choose a more
sedate color palate that will be soothing and comfortable. If staying
alert and being creative are your needs, then, by all means, go for the
bold and dramatic.
If your space is going to be used as a part-time office, perhaps you
should indulge your fantasies and go for the more brilliant color
concentration. Whatever your choices, you need to be certain that you
love the pieces and colors that you are utilizing in your tiny space.
Consider room flow as well as function when furnishing your little
niche and remember that "less" can be "more.
So I really want to redecorate and change how my room is. I'm 21 years old and my room is really small. I basically live in it though because for the time being my roomates are pretty weird.
My main pieces of furniture are: Double bed, small piano, 2 guitars and a stupid desk that I hate. I had thought about it and planned on buying a loft bed with a desk underneath, but it turns out my ceilings are only 7ft high. Would it be hard to build my own loft bed? What are some tips for decorating a small room? Should I get a twin bed so I can get a short loft with a desk underneath? I just love my mattress though..
I am finding it so hard to find decorating ideas on decorating small rooms.
I look for 'decorating small living room' etc and the rooms I'm finding are hardly small.
I've scoured decorating magazines and everything but all you can find are houses which have wide open spaces which doesn't reflect the majority of housing in the UK as it is!
I know all the tips for making a room appear larger and hidden storage etc but I'm looking for more decorating schemes.
Any help would be really appreciated!
I would like to get a full size bed (I have a twin) and that will take up a lot more room. I also have a dresser that is not too large, but my desk is huge. I was wondering if I could use a smaller table to store my laptop, a lamp and some school supplies. Nothing too extravagant or pricy... Any thoughts would be gratefully accepted. Please link any specifics... Thanks!
Heres a walk through, my bedroom door is on the west, you walk in and bam theres the window to the east. Next to the window and bedroom door to the left is my closet,(those ones you slide open, it DOESNT have a window) to the right of my room when you walk in is an "empty wall" with nothing on it like a door a window, ect.
Right now my room is like this: You walk in and BAM theres the bed against the wall where the window is, half of the bed is up against the window, the other half is not against the window. I have a little space between the left and right of the bed, so to the left (where the closet is) theres a little gift bag of reciepts and ect in the corner. The little space to the right of the bed is my school desk, its facing the closet, so I can sit on the side of my bed, and it be a chair for my computer.
On the little space on the wall of my closet, there is my "cubby" which stores my snacks, socks, clothes, ect. On the left over side of the right wall (which my school desk is also at) Is my TV stand nxt to the desk. Now I have room for my makeup vanity desk on the same wall as the door to the right of it, so it would be next to my tv stand.
CAN ANYONE...
My mom said she would buy a new comforter set for my birthday, but I have to pay for everything else. Right now the room is painted this Barney purple that I hate, and all I have on my walls are old posters. I want to redo everything. I think I'll have like maybe $80-100 to spend. It's all I can really save up because I am too busy with school and everything to have a real job. I just babysit for money.
I don't have a favorite color. I like blues, greens, light purple, yellow. Everything but red, really. I want my room to be fun but more grown upish than it is now.
