The natural desire of any woman is to have a cozy, beautiful and modern bedroom in which to relax after a hard day.
And if there is a room for a bedroom in a new apartment or you are planning to renovate a bedroom, many design ideas can be found in photos of inexpensive bedrooms on the Internet.
Bedroom furniture
Today, many stores offer a wide range of bedroom furniture, which is multifunctional, comfortable and there are no problems with its choice.
Most often it is represented by a set of furniture from beds, wardrobes, bedside tables or chests of drawers, a dressing table or a ladies table with an ottoman.
It is very convenient to opt for inexpensive modular bedrooms.
The main functional unit of the bedroom is the bed; to choose it you need to decide on:
- size and shape;
- material (durability and strength depend).
Most often a rectangular shape is chosen, but the size will depend on the size of the room. If the room is small, you should consider a sofa bed or a transformable bed as a sleeping place.
A large room needs a bed that is 10 cm longer than the owner of the bed, and its width allows you to comfortably put your hands behind your head on your side.
The bed should be spacious, but there should also be enough free space in the room after it is installed.
When choosing a material, you should choose an inexpensive and durable pine frame.
Once you have decided on the choice of bed, it is not difficult to select the modules for the rest of the furniture.
Economical place to sleep
A small room puts the issue of saving space first. This especially affects sleeping areas.
The following options should be carefully considered:
- The second tier is for the bed. If the room is three meters or more in height, then this is a great way to keep “precious” meters free. Moreover, the size of the “bed” can be any, and you can always assemble such a structure yourself. The vacated part of the room can be occupied by an improvised office;
- A bed with a lifting mechanism is practical and looks good, since both the mattress and the structure are hidden behind a decorated surface. There is a platform up to 80 centimeters in height, which is intended for clothing and shoes.
These options look unusual and quite stylish.
Inexpensive furniture
Before you go shopping for furniture, you need to take measurements of the room, taking into account the walls and the location of the window and door.
Inexpensive bedroom furniture is made from MDF and chipboard. This material is easily susceptible to chips, cracks and has a shorter service life.
Although design solutions make this furniture quite competitive. Beds began to be made with a wicker frame and support on two elements.
Modern cabinets made from these materials are not inferior in decorative and aesthetic indicators (shape, size, color), they are also multifunctional:
- For storing bed linen and small items (books, glasses, chargers);
- For women's cosmetics (if a mirror hangs above it);
- For eating (there is a special retractable tabletop);
- Location of the lighting fixture.
Color selection
A combination of several aspects, including a harmoniously selected interior palette, helps make a room conducive to relaxation. What color scheme the bedroom design will be presented in largely depends on your personal vision of the intimacy of the atmosphere. And here neither fashion trends nor anyone’s opinions should have priority.
If you look at the bedroom design options in the photo, you will notice that beige is often used as the background color. Pastel in decor is certainly good, but is it relevant? What do other colors bring to the bedroom interior?
Cool colors in bedroom design
This is perhaps the most successful range of colors for decorating a room with such specific functionality. Finding yourself surrounded by a blue or light blue hue, a person involuntarily recalls seascapes. The gentle melody of splashing waves sounds in your ears. A wave of peace flows through the body. A similar color design for a bedroom interior can be safely implemented in sunny rooms with south-facing windows.
Cool colors for a bedroom with south-facing windows
For “northern” darkened rooms, turquoise and shades of delicate greenery are more suitable as a background. Pictures of bedrooms in this solution clearly demonstrate how life-like the environment is in them.
Beige tones in bedroom design
Spectrum of universal all-encompassing harmony. The only question is the dosage of its administration when renovating the bedroom. To please the newlyweds, beige is added in fragmentary form. The following can become its inclusions:
- bedside rug;
- cover;
- pads;
- small decorative elements.
Universal beige color in bedroom design
Look at the design of youth bedrooms in the photo - you will be surprised how wonderfully beige balances the rich background tones.
In the design project of a bedroom for an experienced couple, beige can also be given a leading role. To prevent the interior from becoming drained and faceless, it is filled with bright accessories.
Bright accents will complement the beige interior
Green paints in the bedroom
The spectrum is distinguished by an abundance of tones, but in our case preference should be given to a muted palette.
Green is an excellent color therapist. It is unobtrusive and pleasing to the eye. However, purely green bedrooms, photos of which can be found on the Internet, give rise to a not entirely favorable, rather even painful, feeling.
Pastel shades will extinguish the activity of green color
It sounds paradoxical, but it is a fact. An abundance of green will relax you to the point of complete exhaustion, and instead of proper rest, you will feel a sense of loss of strength. That is why it is recommended to dilute greenery in the bedroom interior with contrasting colors or dampen its activity with pastel inclusions.
Purple in bedroom design
This color is a rare guest in bedroom decor. He is never in the background, but his fragmentary participation is quite welcome. Since the color is difficult to perceive and tends to awaken aggression, professionals suggest that those who create a bedroom design with their own hands initially combine it with white. Accent inclusions will immediately become more laconic, and the overall color scheme will receive the desired consensus.
Combine purple with white
White in the bedroom interior
The pictures of bedrooms in a snow-white design are mesmerizing. Color fills the space with purity and light, making the room more spacious. It can be introduced into the interior both basicly and locally, and the room can be designed in any design style.
White color will fill the room with cleanliness and light
Corner bedrooms
Arranging a bedroom with a large corner space involves placing a spacious corner wardrobe.
Inexpensive corner bedrooms are designed according to the same principles as all the others.
Corner wardrobes fit very harmoniously into the interior of both large and small bedrooms. Cabinets:
- very roomy, have great depth due to the angle;
- save space;
- with mirrored facades visually increase the area of the room;
- The concave-radius design gives the room an original interior.
Provence
Connoisseurs of romance and French atmosphere can safely choose the Provence style. There is a delicate pastel palette here - light blue, white-pink and pale purple.
Textiles with small polka dots or flowers. A bedroom in a small room should have as simple furniture as possible. Light-colored wood or white-painted surfaces look great.
Bedroom renovation
It is quite possible to do an inexpensive bedroom renovation with your own hands. But you still need to start with an idea of its future interior. Especially if you have to change the furniture.
You can turn to the Internet for ideas, which will help you determine the style, color and design. Repair stages:
- Replacement of windows and doors (if necessary);
- Elimination of wall defects (insulation, sound insulation);
- If necessary, change the location of sockets and switches;
- Seal cracks, level with putty and prime the walls;
- Arrange the ceiling (make it suspended or for painting and wallpaper);
- Paste wallpaper on the walls or paint them;
- Lay laminate or other flooring;
- Adjust lighting.
Loft
Lack of finishing, high ceilings and panoramic windows are typical for a loft. Many design ideas of this style can be implemented in a small bedroom. Ordinary wallpaper is replaced with a brick or concrete wall, or their imitation.
The rough style does not like decorative details; you can get by with a couple of posters, a mirror in a simple frame and modern lamps.
The standard window is expanded to panoramic sizes, and glossy materials are selected for the cabinet; all this will make the room visually larger. Instead of curtains and tulle, blinds or roller structures are installed.
Bedroom design
When you have chosen and installed modern, beautiful, comfortable and practical furniture in the bedroom.
You need to think about inexpensive bedroom design, no matter how big it is or how small it is.
First of all, you need to pay attention to:
- minimalism in style (do not clutter with decorative elements);
- textiles on windows of two types (thin curtains and thick drapes);
- lighting in several levels (on the ceiling, wall, bedside table or floor);
- textiles for the bed (match the overall interior).
When arranging a bedroom, you should always take into account its size and natural light.
No matter how beautifully the bedroom is decorated, we must not forget that it should, first of all, be a place of good rest and good sleep.
Deciding on style and decoration
First, let's put forward a few important points. Some we’ll reveal later, some you’ll have to believe in.
- Choose white as your main background color. Not gray, not beige, not coffee. White.
- Maximum of 1 additional accent color in trim. Better than 0. Bed linen, curtains, clothes - everything has its own color and there are enough of these colors. There is no point in adding color with trim.
- Bed linen is the first most important thing in a small bedroom. No matter how cool the design you make, choose regular bed linen with flowers and there will be nothing left of the design. Only one color. Look at the photos.
- Don't go crazy with the ceiling. The best ceiling for a small bedroom is a smooth white matte ceiling without any complications.
- Lighting color temperature 3000K. This question will be discussed further from a biological point of view.
Choosing a Design Style
The main thing is to decide whether we will make the bedroom in a modern or classic style. Our deep conviction is that you should always choose modern styles. If for large apartments this is just an opinion, then for small apartments it is the rule.
In a small area, you should always choose modern design styles.
This is also true because of money. Let's be honest, the vast majority of people don't have an unlimited budget. Actually, if this were so, then why would we have small bedrooms? And since money still matters, you should choose modern styles because... In addition to their main advantages, they are also cheaper.
Here is a photo of the ideal design for a small bedroom:
Modern interior design styles combine well and there are no clear boundaries between them. TOP of the most current design styles for small bedrooms:
- Loft
- Minimalism
- Scandinavian style
All three styles can be perfectly combined in one room, even in a small space. There are enough interiors in which it is simply impossible to determine the dominant design style. We discussed the topic of mixing modern styles in detail in an article about modern trends in apartment design.
Apart from the classic loft, the basic template for most modern styles is minimalism. Other styles are achieved by adding details to it. We advise you to start getting acquainted with modern bedroom design with bedrooms in the minimalist style, and then consider other bedrooms in a modern style.
Choosing wall color
We have already written about the choice of color for bedroom walls, but there are nuances in a small area:
- We choose only light colors.
- Accent colors in decoration are often not needed at all. Enough textiles.
- If it turns out too simple, add texture rather than colors.
Typically, an accent wall is placed behind the bed. But the selection criterion is workload. The less busy the wall, the better suited it is to serve as an accent wall. Because There is always a door on one wall, and a window on the other; the accent wall is either the wall behind the TV or behind the bed. Attention is drawn to it either by some cool wallpaper or simply by a bright color. But be careful when choosing wallpaper for the bedroom, although this material has been used longer than others, it is with it that there are the most nuances.
In addition to the walls, the bedroom has bed linen, curtains, possibly a carpet and other items. All these items have their own colors. If we also make the walls bright, it will turn out to be a mess.
Decorative plaster has been around for a long time, but was used only in classical styles. This material has experienced a rebirth and burst into modern styles. This is the most practical material, it is not afraid of anything, and is easy to clean. Can have any texture and color. The only downside is the high cost. But we don’t need to decorate all the walls in the bedroom with it; it’s enough to apply it to the wall behind the bed. This is the most modern way of finishing the wall behind the bed, and has no restrictions on implementation. The price for a meter of turnkey application of decorative plaster is $10-30, considering that our bedroom is small, the wall area behind the bed is approximately 3×2.7 = 8.1 square meters. Not cheap for one wall, but worth it.
The base color of the walls, when there are no special preferences, is white. It is always relevant and will never go out of fashion. The perfect neutral color that goes with anything. Because In the bedroom there is minimal danger of smearing the walls; this is where the white color is at its safest.
Floor and ceiling in a small bedroom
The biggest mistake in a small bedroom is to play tricks with floors and ceilings. The floors are almost invisible, because... Most of the space is occupied by the bed. If ceilings are made too complex, they attract an unreasonable amount of attention. A good place for multi-level plasterboard ceilings is the living room, but not the bedroom.
Ceiling in a small bedroom
Since we are making the ceiling simple, any material will do. The shape of the bedroom, even in apartments with a non-standard layout, is usually rectangular or square. The combination of a small area and regular shape is ideal for a stretch ceiling. In this version, there will be no seams or unsightly corners (since all angles are 90 degrees). This means there is no point in overpaying for plasterboard ceilings.
In a small bedroom we create a simple, minimalist ceiling.
Here is a good example when they thought that the design was too simple and decided to complicate it with a ceiling. In a vacuum it might not have been so bad, but in this particular example, such a ceiling design is completely out of touch.
Many people recommend choosing glossy ceilings for a small bedroom, supposedly this increases the space. On the contrary, we categorically do not recommend making glossy ceilings in a small bedroom . In addition to reflecting light, gloss also reflects everything else. As a result, we will get x2 of all items concentrated in a small area. This is chaos, not design. Interior design is about balance, not complexity. And in general, glossy ceilings look like a collective farm. In terms of price/appearance ratio, the absolute first place is occupied by suspended matte white ceilings.
Floor in a small bedroom
The most insignificant point is that the floor in a small bedroom is practically invisible. Choose any parquet or laminate with a chamfer you like - you can’t go wrong. The only recommendation that can be given is to take a closer look at dark colors. Ideally, if you can create the illusion of a gradient from a dark floor to a light ceiling - it looks very stylish. Otherwise there are no rules.

Where to stop?
To make sure you really want to return to your bedroom again and again after renovation, actively use design ideas for its decoration.
Tip #1
Don't be afraid to use bright elements in your bedroom interior design. Global surfaces can be highlighted for accent zones or paint can be introduced in small splashes. This aspect completely depends on the size of the room. In small spaces, a couple of colorful paintings on the walls will be more adequately perceived than an expanded panel or fresco.
Bright accents will enliven the bedroom interior
Tip #2
Dark colors in bedroom design are not taboo! Give way to the brown spectrum and even charcoal tones, but on the condition that the finishing materials do not have glossy shiny surfaces. Find a photo of a bedroom decorated in a similar way and make sure that it looks really mesmerizing.

Tip #3
Fashion is nothing, personal preference is everything! It is under this motto that a bedroom design project should be developed. A cheerful bachelor will most likely like authentic wall decoration, with imitation leather or exposed stonework. These materials will create an enticing environment. But an older woman will certainly feel more comfortable surrounded by silk-screen printing, which creates an atmosphere of graceful luxury.

Tip #4
It will be useful for those who create a bedroom design with their own hands. Be sure to visualize a design of what you want to recreate in the space. Pick up a pencil and draw what you imagine the style of the space to be. Experiment with colors too. This is best done in computer mode. If you are satisfied with the 3D picture of the bedroom in the photo, then you can begin to implement your plans.

Tip #5
If renovations in the bedroom are not yet in sight, and the unsightly mix of colors infuriates you, correct the situation with the help of light. Those areas where the effect of dirty shades has appeared should be equipped with decorative lighting.
Decorative lighting can transform the interior
You can go the other way and simply distract your eyes from the unfortunate bedroom background picture. Color accents, which are easiest to add with textiles, will help to do this.

Decorative nuances
What is the most fun part of a bedroom design to work on with your own hands? Naturally, over the finishing touches - interior decor. The modern vision of the latter’s furnishings does not come down to the mere presence of a bed and a wardrobe. The bedroom should have various little things that decorate the space and create a pleasant psychological microclimate.
And again they will tell you how to make the bedroom environment comfortable, with a photo of it.
The easiest way to get the desired effect is by laying stylish bedding from the 3D series. In the women's version, floral motifs will be good, while men would rather prefer a geometric print. Linen can be plain, but in bright colors. The pattern from the bed linen can be repeated in other details:
- on the bedside rug;
- on curtains;
- on the canvas decorating the wall.
Properly selected bed linen will give the interior a finished look
There is no need to create a cacophony of ornaments. Don't mix thematically opposing patterns together.
The quality of the curtains will affect the perception of the bedroom design. Try to hang not just tulle, but beautifully draped curtains made of textured fabric and the room will instantly seem like royal chambers. A simple lambrequin that looks like a flat piece of fabric with or without a print that suits the overall theme will fit perfectly into minimalist bedroom pictures. It will successfully complement evenly hanging curtains and make the entire composition stylish.
High-quality and beautiful curtains influence the perception of bedroom design
A rare but incredibly attractive option for bedroom design in our homes is the canopy. It can be full-fledged, with frame fastening to bed posts, or improvised, with fixation to the ceiling, or, alternatively, to the wall.
It is often recommended to make a bed headboard a decorative element. If the existing model is unremarkable, it’s time to get involved in the bedroom design with your own hands and paint the headboard with paints or decorate it in another original way.
You can make an original bed headboard with your own hands
Lighting structures should be used to decorate the environment. In stylistic interiors, a forged chandelier or a vintage table lamp will do this perfectly. In modern bedroom interior design, it is better to use an LED garland, which can be placed, for example, along the head of the bed. A touch of intimacy is added with different-sized candles and floor lighting.
Rare restored items add special chic to the bedroom environment. You can use two old stools as bedside tables, and use a chest instead of a chest of drawers.
An old stool can make a great nightstand
Don’t forget to include posters, works of art, favorite photos and just trinkets into the design of a bedroom with a corresponding theme. Their presence is a guarantee of comfort.
Color scheme for small bedrooms
Light finishing options will make a small bedroom cozy, modern and comfortable. It is not necessary to use pure white; choose shades to suit your taste, avoiding gloomy, gloomy palettes.
Focus on the side of the world where the windows face. The north side is harmonious with warm notes of color, the south - with cool shades. Bright decoration elements will enliven a monotonous, boring atmosphere.
At the head of the bed you need to organize a corner that attracts attention: a bright color, photo wallpaper or a cozy carpet.
What curtains are suitable for a small bedroom?
Curtains are an important element of decor, so they also require careful selection. In a bedroom with a wide window, it is recommended to purchase a wide curtain, from wall to wall. It is desirable that they hang freely or are slightly gathered.
To make the space taller and more spacious, you need to choose a ceiling cornice that is not too bulky and massive. The style of the room plays a major role when choosing curtains, since each direction has its own characteristics.
The presence of a dense pattern on the curtain fabric is only possible if there are no similar patterns on the wallpaper, so that the picture does not merge into a solid spot of color.
Natural textiles for the bedroom are welcome, they breathe, let in light and air, and create a pleasant natural atmosphere.
