HAVE A TINY BEDROOM? HERE’S SOME GREAT IDEAS TO MAXIMISE Without compromising on style S P A C E and personality Tiny bedrooms – every home has them, and sometimes they can feel impossible to style as well as maximise storage and available space. With the lack of floor space, often smaller bedrooms can feel poky, cluttered and often claustrophobic, meaning many of us want to spend as little time in the space as possible. But there is plenty of style tips and design ideas when decorating your smaller bedrooms. Smaller spaces can mean you can be bold and creative with the space. So, here’s some ideas and inspiration for you to overhaul your tiny bedroom.

STORAGE FRIENDLY FURNITURE Whatever the space you are decorating, storage should always be a consideration, but more so in a small space. Choose storage friendly furniture that can offer comfort as well as space for clothes, toys and everyday essentials. Purchase under bed draws or storage boxes or swap your bed for an ottoman. These lift up offering storage that’s easily accessible. It’s worth noting, the somewhat dated idea of over bed unit's storage is a great idea for small bedrooms. Wrap them round your bed for ultimate storage and minimal floorspace.

CAREFULLY CONSIDERED COLOUR PALETTE Small bedrooms do not have to compromise on style nor colour. Many believe small spaces should be as light and bright as possible. But often dark, bold colours can also create the illusion of space. Carefully consider the colour palette you will use, taking into account the natural light of the room. If opting for a dark hue, think about using it as feature wall, pairing with a lighter colour. If worried, leave the walls white and use colour through the soft furnishings and décor pieces.
