Decorating a small bedroom in a block of flats is quite a challenge. What furniture to choose? Which colours will work well in this small room? Welcome to our new post!
When furnishing small spaces, it is important to create the illusion of space and openness of the room. Choose furniture that is multifunctional, takes up little space but can still accommodate your belongings. The bedroom should also be a place of tranquillity and peace, so it needs to be cosy and calming. How do you achieve this? Find out by reading our guide!
Designing a small bedroom in a block of flats
When arranging a bedroom in a block of flats, we are often faced with various challenges. These rooms can take many forms – a small bedroom in a block with a slant, a room with a small window, a low ceiling and many more. In order to properly arrange the interior of this room, it is worth thinking carefully about what furniture you will need in it and whether you will only use it for relaxing and sleeping or whether you will also be working in it, for example. What is the easiest way to plan the size and positioning of the furniture? Start by choosing the bed – this is the most important and central place of any bedroom. Once you have chosen this piece of furniture, you will easily match all the other furniture, accessories and colours.
Furniture for a small bedroom in a block
For a small room in a block that you want to use as a bedroom, furniture that fits into the corners of the rooms will be best. Any corner bookcases, slanted tables and bedside tables will save space while still being fully functional and useful. The wardrobe should be tall but shallow – admittedly, climbing up to the top shelves may not be very convenient, but just use them to store things you don't need on a daily basis.
What colours for a small bedroom in a block?
Small rooms appear even smaller and overwhelming if painted in dark colours, and the ceiling will appear much lower if you choose an equally dark colour for it. So opt for shades that are warm and light in colour. Whites, beiges, yellows, oranges and cream colours are ideal for a small bedroom in a block. You can combine them freely, even on the same wall. Wallpaper or photo wallpapers should not be too richly decorated, and neither should overly motley collages work. Delicate patterns, in bright colours, floral motifs and those in a Mediterranean style will add cosiness and tranquillity to your small bedroom.
Small bedroom in a block – inspiration
What style would be best for a small bedroom in a block? Any that has a warm and relaxing feel. Such a style is, for example, Tuscan, with sandstone, orange brick and the colours of the sun and vineyards. The Scandinavian style, which is characterised by colours reminiscent of the sea and a steely but sunny sky, will work just as well. The rustic style and its woven furniture and accessories, such as lamp shades and mirror frames, as well as the combination of white with warm browns, are very interesting in small rooms. If you like glamour, go for the glamour style – it combines white with lots of gold and crystals. On the other hand, if peace, harmony and gentle glamour are your vibe, opt for the Hampton style – here the dominant colours are blues, browns in shades of coffee with milk and pure white.
