8 bedroom essentials for a small bedroom

A small bedroom design can be a challenge to decorate. The key is to strip it down to only the bedroom essentials so that the bedroom design looks spacious while still being comfortable.

1. Bed
   

   In a small bedroom design, consider opting for a full-sized or even a twin-sized bed to save on space without sacrificing comfort. A queen-sized bed can easily fit two people, however make sure you double check measurements before a final purchase. Pay attention to your mattress, a good quality, comfortable one will be expensive, but worth it. Remember to keep enough space around the bed for easy movement.
   
   

2. Bedside table
   

   Choose anything from stacked floating shelves and wooden crates to a narrow bench. The key is to opt for pieces that double as storage.
   
   

3. Wardrobe
   

   A modular wardrobe with storage right up to the ceiling is your best bet. Try keeping it narrow and limited to one wall. Alternately, consider a simple armoire or high chest of drawers as well.
   
   

4. Dresser
   

   A slim dresser gives you an extra surface to place things plus more storage. A simple, large mirror can reflect light and open up the room.
   
   

5. Storage
   

   Optimizing your bedroom design with smart storage solutions can help keep your space organized and clutter-free, making it easier to relax and unwind at the end of the day. When choosing a headboard, look for options with open shelves. A wide variety of beds with in-built storage are available as well. Sleek floating shelves, wall hooks behind the door and slim door racks on the inside of the wardrobe are all feasible options.
   
   

6. Lighting
   

   Work with soft lighting in your space. Meshed wall sconces or recessed ceiling lights for ambient lighting; table lamp on your bedside table and picture light above your mirror. 
   
   

7. Texture and colour
   

   Work with lighter colours to open-up a space, especially monotones. Bring in a play of materials and textures with knotted wood finishes, gold, rose gold or brass accents or a chunky bed throw in a contrasting colour.
   
   

8. Window dressings

   Place the curtain rod closer to the ceiling and use floor length drapes to give the impression of height. Window blinds can be customised with a multitude of materials, textures and colours.
