NO BUSY PRINTS
Is your bedroom on the small side? Then choose solid colors. Busy prints make your bedroom appear smaller. Light solid colors like white, ivory, gray, or taupe reflect light, making your bedroom appear instantly larger. Did you know that Cinderella has an extensive collection of solid-color duvet covers ?
USE DASHES
You're probably thinking, "Don't stripes look busy in the bedroom?" This isn't entirely true. Consider the example of clothing: horizontal stripes make you appear wider, while vertical stripes make you appear taller. This rule also applies to your bedroom. Choose elongated stripes to make your bedroom appear longer, and horizontal stripes to make it appear wider. There are several ways to incorporate stripes into your bedroom. Choose a fun striped rug, striped decorative pillows, or opt for a stylish striped duvet cover .
BEDROOM FURNITURE ON LEGS
Choosing bedroom furniture with legs automatically makes your bedroom appear more spacious. When your bed or nightstand "floats" above the floor, it gives your bedroom an airy feel, resulting in more space! An added benefit is that bedroom furniture with legs makes cleaning easier. No more hassle of moving all the furniture to vacuum. Instead, you can quickly and easily vacuum underneath your furniture. A win-win situation!
MIRRORS
Mirrors reflect the space and make your bedroom appear larger. The perfect spot for a mirror is (diagonally) opposite your window. This will bring extra light into your bedroom!
LARGE RUG
It might sound strange to choose a large rug for a small bedroom, but it actually makes perfect sense. The rug's large surface area makes your room appear larger. A rug that doesn't cover the entire bed looks out of place and visually shrinks the space. Just make sure you choose a rug in neutral colors for a calming look.
LARGE ACCESSORIES
The same goes for bedroom accessories as for the rug: go big. Too many small bedroom accessories can make your bedroom feel cluttered. Larger accessories, on the other hand, create a more luxurious and expansive feel in the room.
LET IT HANG
If you have a small bedroom, it also means you have little space for nice things. Therefore, create more space in the room by adding shelves, drawers, cabinets, and lamps. This will draw attention to the walls or ceiling, making your bedroom appear much larger. Want to emphasize the height of your bedroom? When hanging curtains, choose long ones that reach from the ceiling to the floor. Extra tip: keep your walls and curtains the same color.
TIDY IS NICE!
It might seem obvious, but a tidy room looks more spacious. Make your bed neatly and keep clutter at bay, and your bedroom will visually appear larger!
