Make the most of all surfaces.

One of the biggest challenges in a small bedroom is finding room for all your stuff. Instead of cramming it into every nook and cranny, be resourceful! A windowsill can provide extra storage space when there's no room for an additional table or dresser - just make sure you're not blocking any natural light coming through the nearby window with clutter ;)

Wallpaper is an excellent option for creating an eyesore that disappears in just one coat, or if it's not possible to cover the whole space with something new, try adding some pops of colour here and there, which will also help create that feeling!

Built-in spaces are a saviour.

If you can find a spare corner, nook or cranny in your home, make sure to take advantage of them by adding some bench space. A bedroom with an awkward niche can be transformed into one that is cozy and inviting, thanks to the built-in bench for the seating area plus wall art above.

A smaller space doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the appearance of your room. Try a tiny bedside table next to a larger, more comfortable-looking mattress and frame. Small nightstands can just look so dorky in comparison! But luckily for tiny apartment dwellers out there, that's not an issue at all! Buy furniture that fits with what you already have rather than buying something completely new: it will save money and make the most sense if this isn't going away anytime soon anyway!

Create hidden storage spaces

In order to create enough storage in a small bedroom setup, it is vital that you choose furniture which can pull double duty as both decoration and an organizational solution. For example, if there's no room for additional dressers or closets in the space, then go with something like a bed frame made from extra-sturdy particle board rather than traditional wood panelling. This is important so that when not being used for its intended purpose - sleeping on, it will serve well by providing hidden compartments underneath to store out of season clothing such as sweaters. 

You could also opt instead for some type of ottoman at the foot of your bed. This piece would be perfect because besides serving functionality (extra seating) while doubling up nicely as another place where belongings.

Make every square foot count with decluttering.

You may not have a lot of space in your room, but it doesn't mean you can't find ways to make the best of what is available. An easy way to do this without spending any money is simply keeping things clean and organized so that all the square footage has a purpose! You could also accessorize as you would with other spaces by using creative solutions to display objects on shelves or hang them up as art. 

Let there be light

Lighting your room can make it look and feel more spacious. Using dark shades to paint the walls may seem like a good idea, but they also absorb light and create an enclosed space with little natural light. When choosing a wall colour for small rooms that don't have much outdoor lighting available, use lighter shades of grey or white to reflect as much ambient light inside as possible from other sources such as mirrors positioned strategically around any windows without proper access to direct daylight.
