The influence of the shape of the room on the layout
Ten square meters is clearly not enough to accommodate a sufficient number of cabinets, so you need to use every square centimeter of space very rationally. Bedroom layout 10 sq. m directly depends on the shape of the room. There are elongated narrow rooms or square ones with one window.
The square rooms are 3.3 m wide, and they can quite comfortably accommodate a storage system along one wall, and a bed, cabinets, and trellis along the second.
In long walls, it is advisable to place storage cabinets along the short wall (with the entrance door). The best option is to cover the entire wall to the ceiling with a wardrobe.
It makes no sense to zone a small room - it will seem even smaller. The accent wall is located at the head of the bed.
It is not advisable to highlight it with a loft-style finish or a dark color - the room will seem even smaller.
Main background
When it comes to wall decoration, wallpaper is the leading material among materials - sometimes it’s really environmentally friendly and budget-friendly at the same time. Ready-made collections and companion wallpapers will reduce selection and compatibility errors to a minimum.
If you want more expressiveness of the side surfaces:
- Photo wallpaper, frescoes with perspective, landscape are an excellent solution for an accent wall, but large drawings and macro photography can be overwhelming in a miniature recreation room;
- Avoid wallpaper with repeating identical large patterns that you can and would like to count. Abstraction, a somewhat chaotic arrangement of the pattern, even in a dark color, is suitable for highlighting the bed area;
- The beauty of the headboard is sometimes lost against an inappropriate background - waste of money and expectations;
- Strip – this is always relevant and useful in order to improve the parameters of the room: horizontal or vertical.
Advice. The bed is located along one of the walls - provide protection for the finish and your comfort in the contact area due to the additional soft sidewall.
The decoration of horizontal areas is no less important for a harmonious interior. For the ceiling, the simplest design is optimal, and a light one that will not put pressure on top in the case of multi-level options. For the floor, choose parquet with diagonal laying or its imitation, light cork. The main condition is good compatibility with the furniture.
In what style to decorate a small bedroom

When windows are oriented north and west, warm colors are usually chosen - beige, lemon, the color of baked milk, cocoa with milk. It is advisable to avoid peach and pink colors - they greatly reduce the space.
Rich colors visually make the bedroom feel intimate. Even for an accent wall, bedspreads and curtains, you need to choose not very saturated colors.
Bright colors in the design of a 10 sq.m. bedroom. m. can only be used for small accessories - pillows, vases, flower pots, beautiful boxes.
Color scheme for the bedroom
In a small bedroom, all light shades will look great.
For rooms whose windows face the sunny side, use cool ones:
- White;
- Gray;
- Blue;
- Sea blue;
- Lemon;
- Silver shades.
It is better to decorate rooms deprived of sunlight in warm colors. But it should be taken into account that such shades will bring the walls a little closer, visually making the room smaller.
Warmth and comfort will be brought by:
- Dairy;
- Creamy;
- Light coffee;
- Golden;
- Peach;
- Beige;
- Woody shades.
Bright colors are used quite carefully, diluting slightly boring gray or white interiors with them.
Ceiling design
Imagine a modern bedroom design of 10 square meters. m. without an elegant and elegant stretch ceiling is simply impossible.
Painted ceilings are still made, but they require a perfectly flat ceiling surface and no joints between the slabs above the bedroom.
With the help of tension panels, you can renovate a room in a matter of hours, without dirt or “wet” work.
The ideal ceiling color is white. No design ideas like chocolate or black glossy film will work in a small bedroom. But white gloss will visually increase the height (and volume) of the room. For those who do not like to see their reflection in the ceiling, you can choose a satin film.
You should not choose films with prints on the entire surface - “clouds”, a dark blue “starry sky” will emphasize the limited space.
You shouldn’t give up a bright “starry sky” with printed stars, lighting, Swarovski crystals, a “floating” ceiling, or a small floral print.
Decoration Materials
They try to use natural materials as finishing materials. But modern styles allow the use of elements that are not entirely ecological. The selection of finishing options is based on the chosen style and its requirements.
The floor of a 10-meter bedroom is decorated with exquisite parquet, practical laminate, unusual cork, and soft carpet.
Traditional wallpaper is still a favorite among home decorators. Different patterns will help to visually make the bedroom a little more spacious (stripes), give it energy (geometric shapes) or lightness (patterns of leaves and flowers). Companion wallpaper will somewhat crush the monochromatic finish and will become a good and budget-friendly decoration for the wall above the headboard.
Paint and plaster are coming back into fashion; decorative plaster, stone or brickwork, and textile wallpaper have become new materials.
The ceiling is decorated with white wallpaper, painted, and suspended ceilings are installed. For a small room, you shouldn’t get carried away with drawings. It is much better to use ceiling skirting boards, which can give the feeling of higher ceilings.
Wall decoration
In a small room, it is undesirable to use voluminous finishing - brick, textured plaster, lining with clapboard and cork. The warm color of natural materials conceals the space.
The uneven surface of brick and convex plaster, when viewed closely, produces a “prickly” impression and makes it difficult to relax.
Even on an accent wall, where a person lying down cannot see the finish, convex surfaces are undesirable - they visually make the room smaller.
Wallpaper is always popular. Smooth silk-screen printing, embossed, non-woven for painting - you can always choose a finish to suit every taste. The advantage of wallpaper is that it washes well, which is important in a cramped space.
Design rules
When developing a project for a small room, the task is to visually enlarge the space so that it does not seem cramped. Advice from designers will help you solve it:
- The background for decoration and furniture is chosen to be light; it visually pushes the boundaries.
- Mirrors, by reflecting light, add depth to the room.
- Glossy surfaces have the same property as mirrors. They expand the space.
- Horizontal stripes (patterned wallpaper, shelves, moldings) make the room wider.
- Modern 3D wallpapers and photo wallpapers with perspective expand the space.
- Laying laminate, parquet, and boards at an angle will make the area visually larger.
- For a small room, select small objects and accessories. Large details look good from a distance.
Floors
The best ideas for bedroom design 12 sq.m. – coating in light natural wood colors. It is better not to use boards; the best option is parquet.
If you choose linoleum, you can choose options that resemble natural stone in a light shade.
Light colors of linoleum enlarge the bedroom, thin veins of gold will add warmth and elegance to the austere interior.
If the room has heated floors, you can use light tiles with a dim pattern or plain ones. A combination of dark and light tiles and dark tiles are undesirable.
In any case, the floor should be slightly darker than the walls.
Color trends
If shades of white for the dominant color scheme do not seem suitable, then there are alternative options:
- Gray is one of the most successful monochrome components for the bedroom. It helps pastel shades to reveal themselves, is absolutely not tiring and has become very fashionable as an independent color scheme.
- Pastel: pale blue, soft green colors in combination with light furniture.
- The attitude towards pink is being rethought - its shades can be refined and sophisticated.
Light neutral colors of the main surfaces are the key to a feeling of free space, but this does not exclude an accent favorite color, albeit in small quantities. By choosing from three monochrome shades for the background, you can allow greater saturation of your preferred color. But not every combination will give you a feeling of relaxation: it is worth considering the psychological aspect of the impact. The atmosphere is varied depending on the shades and proportions.
| Main accent color | Grey | White | Black | Resulting atmosphere |
| Powdery pink | + | + | Tender, romantic | |
| Hot pink, fuchsia | + | + | Expressive | |
| Blue | + | + | Spacious, cool | |
| Mint, turquoise | + | + | Fashionable | |
| Violet | + | Oppressive | ||
| Lavender | + | Luxuriously mystical | ||
| Red | + | Passionate | ||
| Yellow-green | + | Optimistic |
Lighting Features
In a small bedroom you can skip the chandelier.
A good idea for a 10 sq.m. bedroom. m. there will be bright lighting of the stretch ceiling - it looks much more impressive than a chandelier. If a chandelier is chosen, it should be compact, with a short suspension, without pendants.
The best choice is an elegant flat ceiling lamp or a small chandelier with many small LED lamps and tiny shades.
The chandelier and sconces near the bed and trellis should match in style. The mirror must be illuminated.
Style and color
Not every style will suit tiny rooms. In design practice, the favorites for such rooms are:
- Provence;
- Country;
- Scandinavian;
- neoclassical;
- minimalism.
They are characterized by the use of delicate light shades. Yes, bright rich colors are allowed. But only as accents. Their volume does not exceed 10% of the total area of the room.
If you like some other style, then it is better to use only a slight hint of it. For example, from the classics you can take the shape of a bed, small carvings on a chest of drawers. And refuse a heavy chandelier and lush curtains.
In any case, before setting off on an adventure called renovation, it is better to create a project in a 3D planner, and only after that buy materials and call craftsmen. And it’s even better to invite an experienced designer who will help you competently design every millimeter of the bedroom so that it looks like one whole and will delight you for many years.

Curtains and textiles
Textiles are usually chosen in light shades 1-2-3 shades darker than the walls. Curtains, decorative pillows and bedspreads should not be bright colors.
It is important not to split the color scheme of the room. In a compact room, shiny fabrics for pillows, bedspreads and curtains look more beautiful. It is better to choose a monochromatic carpet.
Is it possible to zone a small bedroom
A small bedroom is usually not zoned. Any zoning will visually make a compact room smaller. Only in rare cases are additional functional areas identified - a children’s or work corner, a relaxation corner.
They are distinguished by the color or material of the walls, carpet. Under no circumstances should you use shelving or draperies for this purpose - they will only clutter the bedroom.
Accents, accessories, decorative items
The size of the room imposes its own limitations. In a ten-meter bedroom it is appropriate to place a limited amount of decor.
Huge objects and many small souvenirs will be inappropriate. It is better to choose one or two paintings, a watch, a vase, a box.
Mirrors visually enlarge the space. If possible, you need to choose a large mirror. You can cover an accent wall with mirrors.
