 Harmony, without monotony

A trick that will always help you to visually enlarge an environment is to create harmony and homogeneity. By saying this, we do not refer only to using the same colors in every element of the room, but to the chromatic scale, the variations of tones that should create a coherent environment. Neutral colors are the easiest way to reach this goal, because they create sort of a special continuity, trucking the eye and virtually enlarging surfaces. To avoid monotony, do not use the same shade for every element in the room, but choose colors from the same chromatic scale, selecting tints from the lighter to the darker: this will give depth to the whole area, adding dynamism and making the whole room more welcoming. The bedroom will no longer be a small and rigid box, but will become a fluid and cozy environment. If this still seems too  monotonous for you, place a nice painting or some pictures above the headboard, or next to your wardobe.

Light design

Artificial light always represents a valid ally when it comes to visually enlarge a space. Especially in a bedroom, it is fundamental to have a well thought light design, with lamps that are strategically placed in the right spots. In this environment, we do not need much light, but over-illuminating a wall will visually expand the surface of the room. A good solution could be to choose a table lamp that allows us to regulate the amount of light: this way, we will also magically enlarge our bedroom, by turning it to the maximum power.

Natural light and matching curtains

We talked about the importance of artificial light, but we must not underestimate the help that comes from the natural light. If we are lucky enough to have a well-oriented bedroom and with a large window, it will be enough to let in as much light as possible. A big glass window really changes everything in terms of perception of the size of the room. It is also important to choose a curtain made of a light material, definitely avoiding dark colors and thick fabrics, above all, and trying to match the tone with the color of the wall.

Organization

When you have a small bedroom, every centimeter must be exploited at its best, and every portion of the space must be selected for a specific function. Organization is the key to success, and the only way to avoid turning your tiny cozy bedroom into a chaos. An organized environment, in fact, will appear more comfortable and large: so never neglect tidying it up! The advice we give you is to identify the function of every portion of the space: where you place shelves or boxes? Which wall will host photographs? Which area will be dedicated to clothes? Is there a space for a reading nook? The important thing is that every single inch available is carefully thought out, whether it is dedicated to a purpose or left empty.

Separate with glass

When you own a small apartment, the tendency is to create more fluid spaces, which communicate with each other, instead of being separated by invasive partitions. This is when walls become our enemies, and we have to find smart alternatives to them, since rooms like the bedroom still require intimacy and privacy. A helping hand comes to us from office and workplaces: in these cases, it is often important to define and divide spaces, without a partition that is too invasive. Have you ever thought of using some opaque glass partition in your home? They will provide privacy to your bedroom, but they will still create fluidity and communication between the spaces, also allowing light to spread towards it.
