Choose the right curtains or skip them
Light and sheer curtains will make the room feel lighter and allow more natural light to come in, which is always a plus for small spaces.

How to furnish a bedroom?
The interior of a 9 square meter bedroom should be equipped only with necessary furniture items in the form of a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers or dressing table. Bulky elements are replaced with transforming models, which are not only functional, but also give the environment an impressive and modern look.
If there are niches or projections, they are also used rationally. If there is enough free space under the window sill, you can equip it with an additional storage system.

Each type of room has certain rules and design features. For example, in a square room of 9 sq. m2, the sleeping bed can be placed in the center so that the head of the bed is adjacent to a blank wall. Place bedside tables or narrow pencil cases on the sides. To save space, a podium is built with pull-out sections and drawers for storing clothes, bed linen and other things.
In a rectangular bedroom, the bed is placed near one wall, and the opposite plane is equipped with a wardrobe. It is appropriate to organize storage of necessary items under the bed. You can unload the space by using a folding sofa with a sleeping place.

How to decorate the interior?
Decoration options and finishing solutions for bedrooms with small dimensions:
- Color spectrum. Light colors allow you to increase space. A similar color scheme is used in the design of large surfaces in the room. To visually expand the area, you can choose white, gray, beige, pale pink and other pastel colors. In a 9-square-meter bedroom with windows facing north, a warm sand palette with bright red, orange or golden splashes is used. The most popular are universal and neutral gray shades. A contrasting combination of dark graphite with light platinum color will give a small bedroom sophistication and style.
- Finishing. The decor is noticeably transformed by finishing the floor in the form of laminate, parquet, linoleum or cork. It is recommended to give preference to lighter materials that are several shades darker than the wall cladding. Laying flooring diagonally will help expand the room. The most common option for decorating walls is wallpapering. Thanks to the huge variety of colors and textures, you can create an original and cozy atmosphere in the bedroom. It is best to use canvases with small prints, this way the walls visually move away. Paint, plaster or a tensioned glossy structure in a light color palette are ideal for decorating the ceiling. It is advisable to abandon multi-level systems that will weigh down the space. High ceilings can be decorated with wooden false beams.
- Textile. In order to have more natural light in a 9 sq.m bedroom, you should not choose heavy blackout curtains with decorative elements. The optimal solution would be to decorate the window using Roman or roller blinds. Light curtains on the ceiling cornice will increase the height of the room. Colorful pillows, a blanket, a blanket or a small bedside rug will help add brightness to the design.
- Decor. As the main accent of the room, it is appropriate to install mirrors in beautiful thin and elegant frames that match the style of the room. Green flower arrangements in moderate quantities are an excellent decor. For example, a small bedroom of 9 square meters can be decorated with one large outdoor plant. With limited space, they prefer wall accessories in the form of paintings, photo frames or panels.
- Lighting. A small space requires a perimeter arrangement of lamps. Due to this, a 9 sq. m bedroom acquires volume and a feeling of spaciousness. You can complement the interior with table lamps, floor lamps or sconces. Spot lighting is suitable for individual functional segments. The room should have soft, cozy and slightly dim light.

Where to place the air conditioner
