Traditional advise would lean towards using pure white on small bedrooms. However, the modern outlook appreciates and maximizes the potential of colour as far as it goes. In this example, we see a white wall with a pink motif bringing life to this otherwise plain bedroom, and the delicate, expanding design of the motif opens up the bedroom. Here are some other compact bedroom ideas.

3. Capitalize on the coziness

Cupboards can take up a lot of space in small bedroom, but you can use a simple trick of the eye to compensate for space taken up by the cupboard, and that is simply to match the cupboard with the wall. Also, if you have a dark floor, cover it up with a white rug, and you can even install recessed lighting on your bed in order to give the illusion of more floor space. 

5. Pastel colours on the wall

If you can't bare the thought of white walls, pastel colours are the way to go for small bedrooms. Add a bright bedspread and a colourful curtain to bring more life into it, don't worry a little colour won't make your bedroom smaller. 

6. Sheer white curtains

Maximize your windows by using sheer white curtains instead of heavy drapes which block natural light from entering your room. You can also use sheer curtains in light pink or yellow colour to give your room a cosy glow. 

7. Focus on one piece of decoration

Small bedrooms don't have a lot of space for decorations so it's best to make use of the walls, but with restraint. One idea is to cover part of one wall with a big, colourful painting and then light it up so that it becomes the focus of the bedroom, taking away attention from the space. 

8. Create continuity in the design

Continuity in the design can help make a small bedroom seem larger than it is. For example, you can create continuity in the design by matching the colour of patterns of the bedspread with the curtains. 

9. Glass panel
