Benefits of a small bedroom
The coziest bedroom is small in size. There is no place for everyday fuss and noise in this room. And making a bedroom comfortable is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. In any case, you can definitely do it.
Every human body needs sleep and good rest.
Modern designers are actively developing interior models for small bedrooms. All you have to do is apply what has already been invented before you.
A comfortable bedroom and a well-equipped relaxation area can contribute to maximum relaxation.
Choosing a style
Before you begin, decide on the design of your future bedroom. What style do you see the room in? What kind of furniture will be there? How will you arrange the lamps? These and many other questions need answers before real action begins to rearrange and redesign the space.
It is important to create a stylish design and make the most of the room without cluttering it.
Modern style
This design direction keeps up with the times and focuses its efforts on functionality and simplicity. The motto of the style: “The fewer objects in the room, the better.” The statement is controversial, but many liked it. Therefore, the design of a bedroom in the Art Nouveau style is distinguished by a minimal set of interior details, the absence of strict requirements for lighting, the mandatory presence of technical innovations, and the use of both synthetic and natural materials in decoration.
Get inspired by looking at examples of the most successful design projects, options for finishing materials and the best shades for bedrooms.
Important! Modern style suits any room, regardless of size and purpose.
Classic
The embodiment of luxury and comfort of royal bedchambers. The emphasis in the interior is on the bed with a high headboard and lots of ruffles and pillows. The predominant material in the decoration of such an interior is textiles in all its forms: handmade carpets, drapery on the walls, multi-tiered curtains of complex design, bedspreads and canopies on the bed. The high status of the owner of a luxurious bedroom will be emphasized by the predominant white color in the decoration.
All interior elements must complement each other.
Implementing a classic design in a 5 by 5 bedroom and placing all this decoration without clutter is not easy. Therefore, a detailed design of the future interior will be required.
You need to use absolutely all its corners as functionally as possible.
Provence
According to designers, this is the most “romantic” style, and therefore the most suitable for the bedroom. Pastel colors, flowers everywhere (live in vases and floral prints on curtains), wooden furniture and a lot of cute but useless little things, comfortably located on the chest of drawers (or on the shelf).
This style is a kind of French Country, since its origins come from distant villages located in the south of France.
Provence is one of the directions of rustic design, which means that everything is in harmony with nature. Simplicity and grace in everything.
The style is characterized by soft blue and lavender shades, a predominance of light colors and light floral patterns.
East style
It's no secret that Japanese style is a philosophy that promotes simplicity and closeness to the natural environment. This interior has everything you need, but there is not a single superfluous element. Amazing combination!
Japanese-style bedrooms are characterized by such features as lightness and grace.
Mostly natural materials are used for interior decoration; curtains are made only of silk. Particular attention is paid to lighting: sufficient, but not too bright. Every item has a meaning, even decorative little things are chosen with this in mind. Furniture with simple geometric shapes.
Minimalism
Apparently, this is a distant “relative” of the Japanese style, since there is nothing superfluous in it either. Simplicity of form and desire for free space. Typically, the design uses no more than three primary colors, simple furniture and small bright accents (pillows on the sofa, a flower vase).
The minimalism style is currently particularly popular.
Some general zoning rules
To emphasize the advantages of the bedroom-living room and hide obvious shortcomings, there are several rules:
- be sure to take into account the size of the room, the way in which you delimit the space will depend on this;
- in any case, stylistic unity must be maintained throughout the room;
- decide on the type of zoning: reversible, i.e. mobile, and irreversible, i.e. stationary, not moving or extending;
- It is better to place the sleeping part by the window and try to ensure that it is in no case a passageway, but is still somewhat to the side;
- Be sure to first draw up a design project before starting the arrangement;
- identify whether in the living room, in addition to the bedroom, there will be any other areas, for example, a work area.
Choosing furniture
Choosing bedroom furniture, especially square ones, is not an easy task. Whatever one may say, you can’t do without a bed and a closet. The interior of a 5 by 5 bedroom is unlikely to support a full-fledged set. It will look, at the very least, ridiculous. Therefore, designers advise: refuse a set of furniture and buy what you like and what is suitable for your square meters.
It is necessary to equip the room not only with a sleeping place, but also with a work space.
Closet
A suitable option for a bedroom is a wardrobe. Sliding doors do not interfere with movement around the room, and mirrors built into the doors visually expand the room. In addition, you don’t have to rack your brains over the question: “Where to place the mirror?”
It should be noted that the bedroom environment should be conducive to relaxation and not only physical rest, but also emotional release.
If the layout of a 5 by 5 bedroom requires the presence of a niche in the room, then this will make the ideal wardrobe for clothes.
Bed
The main item for the bedroom interior deserves special attention. Try choosing a model without legs. After all, the lower the sleeping place, the more space above it, which means the more spacious the bedroom itself becomes. And in some cases it makes sense to abandon a double bed in favor of a single bed. This will save about half a meter of space.
The room should not be cluttered with a huge amount of massive furniture - compact models of all the essentials should be used.
The material from which the bed is made, however, like the material for the wardrobe, should be in harmony with the decoration of the walls.
The design of the room should be conducive to comfortable relaxation, so the use of overly bright colors and vulgar color combinations is not encouraged.
Bedside tables
Not the most practical interior element for a small bedroom. Designers recommend abandoning them in favor of small wall shelves: this way you can place the necessary little things and save bedroom space.
Calm, gentle colors will create a feeling of comfort and will not affect the visual perception of the space.
Lighting
Avoid the “lonely” chandelier in the middle of the ceiling and floor lamps. Give preference to built-in lamps. In this case, the room is freed from objects that “steal” space and good illumination of the room is ensured.
Lighting in the bedroom is an important part, since it is an area not only for sleeping, but also for relaxing in a horizontal position.
Practical tips
- Don't choose dark wallpaper or paint for your bedroom walls. Give preference to light pastel shades. A well-known fact: dark walls reduce the area of a room, while light walls visually increase it.
- Do not use photo wallpaper. This wall decoration option is not suitable for a small room. In addition, the wrong choice of design will ruin the entire interior. It’s better to make one wall completely monochromatic. This is the best solution.
- Opt for short curtains, slightly ruffled. Floor-length curtains are for spacious rooms.
- Get rid of unnecessary furniture. A bed, a wardrobe and shelves are a sufficient “set”.
- Don't clutter your shelves with unnecessary items. Of course, there are things dear to your heart that you cannot refuse, just “control” their number. Otherwise, over time, the bedroom will become “overgrown” with figurines, flowers and small bears.
- Make a single-level ceiling, since the use of plasterboard and a suspended ceiling will reduce the height of the room.
- Use no more than three colors in your design. In this case, the interior turns out to be harmonious and stylish.
The interior of no room is complete without stylish little details that give it more comfort.
Decoration of a studio apartment 25 sq.m.
The first thing that needs to be done at the planning stage is to divide the total area into functional zones. Apartments with high ceilings allow you to move the sleeping area to the second tier. The problem is solved by constructing a bed on hangers or installing an additional wooden structure.
If apartments have ledges and corners, they can often be used as storage spaces. Also, do not ignore the storage spaces thought out at the initial design and construction stage. In a small studio apartment, instead of massive wardrobes, it is worth using modular designs. This will simplify the redevelopment process and rid the space of bulky parts.
However, the main thing you will have to face when creating a design project and cosmetic renovation work is the zoning of space.
Choosing a color for the walls
By following simple recommendations, you can create an interior of amazing beauty and harmony. For example, as already noted, the color of the walls is only light. Decorative pillows, a vase of flowers or a painting will act as bright accents.
Various figurines and vases of different sizes serve as decoration.
If, after finishing the walls, the appearance of the bedroom seems too simple to you, complement the interior with texture rather than bright colors.
Not a single bedroom can do without textile accompaniment - these are curtains, bedspreads, and bed linen.
Often the accent wall is located behind the bed. The main criterion for choosing an accent space is how busy it is. Since there is a window on one wall and a door on the other, there is space behind the bed or next to it. An accent wall can be covered with unusual wallpaper or decorated with a bright decorative element, for example, a painting.
An excellent interior decor are paintings, the images on which can create a sunnier and lighter atmosphere in the room.
A popular material for wall decoration – decorative plaster – is experiencing its rebirth today. It is actively used for decoration in a variety of rooms. They are valued for their practicality, pleasant appearance and long service life.
Light decoration makes the room more spacious and bright.
Ceiling and floor
Both the floor and ceiling in a small bedroom are decorated in a minimalist style. Ceilings, as a rule, are suspended. Experts do not recommend using structures with a glossy surface, as it will reflect everything in the room. As a result, the illusion of a pile-up of objects will be created.
Contrasting combinations give the room a truly luxurious look.
There are no strict rules regarding gender; choose the option that you like. The game looks impressive in contrast: light walls and dark floors. And you are absolutely free to choose the material: laminate, parquet, or tile - choose what you like.
A bright bedroom will appeal to both men and women.
An obvious fact: a small room is the most suitable option for organizing a bedroom. Regardless of the style in which you decorate your relaxation room, the main thing is that you personally like it, and that you personally feel comfortable and comfortable. And all other rules are just conventions.
A 25 sq. m bedroom is a fairly spacious room suitable for bringing any design ideas to life.
Walk-through living room

A complex project in which you need to take into account the location of several door or arched openings, as well as the placement of furniture that will not interfere with free passage. Zoning of such a living room includes multi-level ceilings combined with special lighting. The key emphasis is on organizing a recreation area, as well as a place for receiving guests.
