Top Ten Bedroom Decorating Ideas For Tight Spaces

If your bedroom could not get any cozier because it has a tight space to accommodate trimmings and luxurious clutter, do not be disheartened. A number of people seem to share your plight: the student who stays in the dorm, the couple who rents a flat in the busy city and the single working professional who resides in a bachelor's pad.

There are a number of decorating ideas to help you recreate your bedroom and make your snooze palace a lot cozier, without consuming too much of your treasured space.

Check out this list of bedroom decorating ideas for tight spaces.

1. Add clothing hooks inside your built-in closet. These hooks function as convenient belt hangers and all-around organizers for the little stuff that you need but wish to keep out of sight. You'll be amazed with how much your closet can actually hold.

2. Carefully select which accessories to include in your bedroom. Remember to go minimal. A slender vase and a single flower can brighten your room without taking up space. Hang paintings whose hues and shades match the color scheme of your room.

3. Coordinate colors. You certainly do not want to invite additional clutter, so work instead on the existing elements in your room and coordinate their colors and prints to achieve a cozier look: beddings, pillow cases, rug, curtains and wall paint.

4. Ditch chairs. Instead, creatively use pillows to transform your regular bed into a makeshift day couch. Choose pillows whose design and fabric match and contrast your bed sheet. Prop these pillows against the wall for an instant sofa look.

5. Hang bookcases and go for high shelving. Having them not only takes care of bare walls, but also improves organization and adds functionality to your space. The “library feel” creates that coziness you crave for. Just make sure to arrange things well.

6. Hide storage containers under your bed. Use storage containers to keep your shoes and other things organized and dustproof. Stashing them under your bed is a great way to maximize your space and to make yourself some room for yoga and walking exercises.

7. Install wall sconces. They are not only decorative but are also practical. They spare you from the expense and decorating worry of accommodating a standing lamp, or a traditional lamp that must be placed on a bedside table.

8. Invest in television units that can be hung on your wall. Use your television set not only to watch movies but to also create a refreshing picture frame. Plasma and LCD units have the proviso for wall hanging and are the perfect choice for tight-spaced bedrooms.

9. Place a mirror on your wall. Although fengshui experts disapprove of having mirrors in the bedroom, mirrors create the illusion of bigger space. As a bonus, you can primp to your heart's desire without tripping over the traditional standing types.

10. Use curtains instead of blinds. Curtains add life to your window and do not require additional space at all. Go for those that are made of light filmy fabrics and interesting prints that match the color of some items in your room.
