How to Decorate a Small Space Bedroom

Tight spaces present many challenges, but you can easily overcome them with a little thought and creativity.

  • Use window treatment to bring the windows up and give the illusion of height. Hang curtain rods at least 12-16" above the window and use light and flowy fabric for a soft romantic look. Heavy and dark draperies will bring the walls in and contribute to a smaller appearance.
  • Choose paint colors that will reflect light and work well within your space. In this small townhouse bedroom, we used Benjamin Moore's Algonquin Trail (#1055). It works great with blues/reds/greens, and provides a great backdrop for a variety of styles without darkening the room.





  • Place furniture in alcoves or at an angle for added interest in a small boxy room. Find a bed frame with ample room underneath for added storage. Add side tables with storage, and lamps for great ambient lighting.
  • Find a floor mirror and place it on an empty wall for the illusion of space. Place a floor lamp next to it for add light reflection. This is a great way to make a room look bigger without using furniture.
  • Add wall shelves for storage. Situate books/accessories nicely on the shelves so they are points of interest rather than just a bookshelf. Keep clutter to a minimum by maximizing your closet space with baskets/shelves. Use these tips to create an amazing bedroom that you will look forward to spending time in every evening.
