Small bedrooms are not easy to design or decorate. It can be challenging to bring your vision to life when the space you’re working with is compact. If you go overboard with decor, you risk making the space look close-packed. But if you leave things minimal, the room can end up lacking character. That is why, in this article, we’ve gathered a few ideas you can make a small bedroom look great.
Here are 15 small bedroom decor tips perfect for tiny bedrooms:
Add A Large Mirror
Adding a full-length mirror is one of our favorite techniques here on the blog to make any space seem bigger than it is. You can go for either a self-standing or a wall-mounted full-length mirror to create the illusion of space just like this.
Use An Industrial Style Ladder Desk
If you are dealing with a compact space, a ladder desk is a great piece of furniture. It allows efficient use of space as the multi-tiered desk serves several purposes. From storage to working to displaying plants and showpieces, it is the perfect piece for small bedroom decor. Most of these desks are foldable making them a smart piece for a small room.
Utilize corners with open shelves
Make use of all the space you have. If you have a tight corner where it won’t be possible to fit a piece of pre-made furniture, you can utilize that space by placing open wooden shelves like this and using it as a study desk as well as a bookshelf and storage.
A Corner Bed
A horizontally built corner bed like this can save you a lot of space compared to placing one vertically in a narrow bedroom like this.
Storage Beds

Lighter Flooring
If you go for dark wood floors or a darker tone of carpet, you can risk making the room look smaller than it is. If your aim is to make the room look cozier, then that is a different story. But ideally, for small rooms, you should opt for lighter-colored carpets or light wood flooring as it allows the room to look more spacious.
If the flooring is already dark, and you are not in a position to get it changed, you can choose to get a large white or beige rug for the space which would take the attention off the dark flooring.
Built-in Furniture
Getting furniture or storage units custom-made for your small space is a great way to deal with those tricky spaces that are hard to fit ready-made furniture into. It also allows you to be more intentional with your space as you can plan the units according to your storage requirements.
Using Storage baskets as side tables
We love the use of these wicker baskets stacked to serve as a side table here. It looks very chic and adds a lot of character to the room while serving multiple purposes.
A Custom Designed Platform Bed
This custom-designed storage bed is a great way to ensure you have all the storage space you need. We love this design with the stairs and the built-in lighting.
Accent Brick Wall
An accent wall can lift the overall vibe of the room. Consider going for a brick-patterned wallpaper for an accent wall behind the bed frame to make the space more vibrant. We love the contrast the brick wall creates in this room with the grey used across the rest of the room.
A Full-size Bed
If the purpose of the room you’re working with is just to serve as a bedroom, then perhaps you can skip worrying about all the storage and other requirements. Go ahead with a large bed and don’t hold back on the size as you do not have to worry about adding anything else apart from side tables maybe. You can pay more attention to the bedding as that would be responsible for setting the whole theme of the bedroom.
Daybed and built-in storage
This beautiful white custom-built unit doubles as a daybed and a bookshelf as well as a storage unit. The design is minimal and elegant. The daybed allows the room to serve multiple purposes such as a guest room, a reading nook or more.
Creative Division of Space
This idea of dividing space by using a clothing rack and hanging Ivy and creeper plants in it is super creative and artsy. It can make the room look cute and is a super simple DIY that wouldn’t take a lot of time to execute. It’s a great way to create division in a small bedroom without going for something more permanent or costly.
Loft Bed
A loft bed is a great way to make full use of a small space. This Mid-century loft bed by West Elm x Pottery Barn is smart as well as super chic. It can fit into a very small bedroom allowing plenty of space for working and storing stuff beneath the top bed as can be seen. The design is simple and minimalistic.
