- Country.
- Eco.

A few recommendations:
- If your bedroom is small in size, then baroque or classic style is unlikely to suit.
- It will be very overloaded with small details, and visually will decrease in volume even more.
Advice. For small rooms, a minimalist style is recommended. There is nothing superfluous or lush about it. Visually it enlarges the space very nicely.
- And if you decide, for example, to decorate a bedroom for newlyweds in a minimalist style, then add elements of eco-style or baroque.
- Remember that minimalism involves the use of two or maximum three contrasting colors.
- A room in this style is restrained, laconic, simple. And if you add lush and gilded decorations from the Baroque style, then the entire original style will be lost.
