The bedroom is often the coziest room in the home and is made to measure for the owner. If it is too 'tailored', of course, it risks not being spacious enough and might even create a sense of oppression, rather than being the perfect retreat. So what can you do to give the idea of a spacious room? Here are some tips.
Clever use of mirrors
The first solution that springs to mind is that of using mirrors to create the illusion of a larger bedroom. It is already a good thing to have at least one mirror in the bedroom so you can see how you look or how you are dressed if need be. To make the room seem bigger, it’s enough to use more than one mirror or a very large mirror: one idea is to have one of your wardrobe doors fitted with a mirror so that the side of the room where the wardrobe is positioned can replicate all or most of the room.
Always aim high
If the surface area of the room is not very large, you can consider maximizing the use of the vertical space. How? For example by using wardrobes and furniture developed in height rather than width. Another trick can be to place decorative elements high up, whether they are hung or painted on the walls: in this way, attention will also be directed to the highest areas of the room, creating the impression of not being in such a confined space.
Appearance is also important
Speaking of appearance and what draws the eye, colors, and light can also play a role. Based on the assumption that the brighter the room, the better: a small, dark room will seem even more cramped. Depending on how the room is positioned, it may be sufficient to let in as much natural light as possible, perhaps with the help of large windows. As for artificial light, you have to study how to direct it cleverly so that it makes the most of one or more elements in the room, such as a wall.
What about color? It is best to choose a color scheme with light shades that can absorb as much light as possible and give the idea of an altogether larger space. The best choice is naturally white, but other colors can give the desired effect, such as certain subtle shades of beige, grey, or light blue.
