Last month, I broke up with my boyfriend of two years. Since then, I’ve been living in an apartment by myself. Unfortunately for me, this apartment turned out to be very small…I could not fit much stuff into the bedroom. Even though it’s small, I still want to make it feel like a cozy, comfortable bedroom. Besides the bed and dresser, I have very little furniture. I was wondering if you could come up with some ideas to decorate my small room?

Introduction
Right now, I am living in a small apartment with a very tiny bedroom. In order to make the most of my space, I’m going to decorate it with bright colors and patterns.
How to make a small bedroom look bigger
1. Adding stripes to your wall can make your space look longer and wider, giving it the illusion of being bigger. For example, painting one wall bright yellow or orange will make the space feel less crowded and more open. The other walls should be shades of white, cream, or gray in order to contrast with the bright wall.
2. If your apartment has hardwood floors, painting them a dark color will make the room look larger than it is. However, if you have carpeted floors or are afraid that they’ll collect dirt, paint them a light color so as not to distract from the rest of your room.
3. If you have a small kitchen or dining area that is connected to the bedroom, hanging art above this space can make it seem less crowded and more open.
4. Flowing sheer curtains in bright colors will give the room more depth, making it seem less crowded. It also allows light to come in but still makes the space feel private.
5. Adding a focal point to the room can make it feel bigger than it is. This could be anything from a large piece of art on the wall or an over-sized couch that fills up half of the room. Just make sure that it is cohesive with the rest of the decor.
The following ideas can be used to make a small bedroom look bigger and more spacious. From painted walls, to added depth and natural light, these little changes can completely transform a room into something new and fresh.
Some ideas to decorate the room
1. Adding stripes to your wall can make your space look longer and wider, giving it the illusion of being bigger. For example, painting one wall bright yellow or orange will make the space feel less crowded and more open. The other walls should be shades of white, cream, or gray in order to contrast with the bright wall.
This is an effective way to make a small bedroom look bigger because it can give depth to the room, creating the illusion of more space. For example, painting one wall bright orange will make the red wall pop out and create dimension between all four walls. On the other hand, if you have cream-colored walls on every side of the room, simply painting on a bright yellow will make it seem as if there are three walls of cream and one wall of yellow. This is a very simple way to make your small space look bigger in comparison to painting every single wall.
2. If your apartment has hardwood floors, painting them a dark color will make the room look larger than it is. However, if you have carpeted floors or are afraid that they’ll collect dirt, paint them a light color so as not to distract from the rest of your room.
Dark hardwood floors can make your small space look larger than it actually is, but it can also be dangerous if you’re afraid that the floor will get dirty. If this is the case, painting the floor a light color can create an illusion of more space without distracting from all of the furniture pieces that are already in the room.
3. If you have a small kitchen or dining area that is connected to the bedroom, hanging art above this space can make it seem less crowded and more open.
If you’re living in a small apartment with a small kitchen attached to your bedroom, hanging pictures of flowers or anything else that’s very tall on your kitchen space can make the ceiling seem higher and more open, making the small bedroom look larger.
4. Flowing sheer curtains in bright colors will give the room more depth, making it seem less crowded. It also allows light to come in but still makes the space feel private.
Conclusion
For example, putting yellow curtains on a large window will make the bedroom look more open and spacious because there is now a large amount of natural light that comes into the room from only one spot. The sheer quality of the curtain also gives it depth and makes the room seem bigger and less crowded than with normal curtains.
By using these simple decorating ideas, your small bedroom can become a comfortable and light space that keeps it feeling spacious. With a few positive changes to the room, you will no longer feel overwhelmed by how little furniture there is working against you. These ideas are cheap and easy ways to make a small bedroom seem bigger, even if you’re on a budget.
