Bed
Arranging furniture is the first and key step in decorating a bedroom. To do this, you must initially think through and choose the place where the bed will be located. It is important to choose a place so that there is access to it from three sides (the best option would be a distance of 60-80 cm from the wall or furniture). It is also necessary to ensure that the wind does not blow on people (it is not recommended to place the bed along the draft line, but if this cannot be achieved, then choose the option where the lower part of the body of the people who are sleeping is exposed to the draft).
When creating an interior, pay attention to functionality. To begin with, the arrangement of furniture is thought out, then the style that suits you is selected, and finally the color and material are chosen.

Modern
In the modern design of small rooms, high-quality and unusual finishing materials are used. One or a couple of walls can be decorated in brighter colors, while the rest can be left pastel.

Free lower drawers are suitable for storing personal items. Books and magazines are usually located on the shelves. The wall niche at the head of the bed looks original. Here the owners can arrange the decor: place vases and a couple of figurines. The design of the headboard with branches and woven mini rugs looks unusual.

Minimalism

Experienced specialists identify only 3 common techniques for creating a bedroom layout.
Storage locations
The following are also suitable for storing things in the bedroom:
- Dresser. You can place it either next to the bed or opposite it. Convenient to store bed linen.
- Bedside tables. Located directly next to the bed. Convenient to use for storing small things: books, gadgets, etc.
- Space under the bed. Very often, beds already come with drawers underneath them, which allows them to be used for storing things. Bed linens, spare pillows and blankets are usually stored.
- Dressing table. This interior element is indispensable for storing cosmetics.
Air conditioner
The issue of placing an air conditioner in the bedroom always causes controversy. Since experts consider it almost the main element of the interior, they suggest placing it directly at the head of the bed. But designers are not so loyal. They prefer to hide such devices. And the best place for its location is considered to be the space above the door or in the openings for laying electrics.
But be that as it may, the final word remains with the customer. And only he decides where the air conditioner will be located. And no matter how much designers and installers argue, they are unanimous on one thing - the air conditioner should not blow on a sleeping person. Consequently, the equipment is never installed opposite the bed, in order to avoid diseases.
Lighting
To create a special mood and comfort in the bedroom, lighting is used. For many, the question of chandeliers is still relevant. But for a typical bedroom there are enough other types of lighting to forget about a chandelier, since it is not appropriate enough there.
- General light. This includes the usual chandelier. If the design of the bedroom is in a classic style, then yes, a chandelier will do. This type of lighting will also help in performing high-quality cleaning.
- Local light. This type includes table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, that is, those lighting devices that provide directional light and can be turned on or off with one movement of the hand.
- Decorative light. Hidden lighting plays this role. In general, decorative light focuses attention on some decorative element.
- Intimate light. This type includes night lights and garlands, that is, the light that is used at night.
The bedroom should include all types of lighting. But if you abandon the chandelier, you will not lose anything. Since other types of lighting will create a unique atmosphere of comfort, and this light will be enough for you.
Bedroom and balcony
Do you dream of using a balcony and connecting it to the bedroom? Get permission and you can start dismantling the window and door, and after that the repairs can begin. Well, if you want to make an additional room from the balcony and use it as a lounge area, then you don’t need any permissions. Insulate and decorate as your soul desires.
Textile selection
Textiles selected for a small room can have pastel, bright colors. For a light finish, you can select colorful fabrics for curtains and bedspreads. They will help emphasize the originality of the style being created. The presence of catchy patterns will help highlight a window opening or make the sleeping bed the main element of the room. Decorative sofa pillows will help complement the overall design. They can be combined with curtains or have a neutral color. A small bedside rug can also become a bright spot in the room. If the stylistic direction involves a combination of dark and light tones, then textiles should be chosen in the appropriate range. The combination of pastel tulle and dark curtains and dark pillows will create an original tandem. A wall rug placed near the head of the bed can also be dark.
Workplace
It is problematic to allocate space for an office in an apartment; space does not always allow it. But everyone can organize a workplace. And the bedroom is not the worst option for this. Just take into account the depth of the table; the larger the area of the room, the greater the depth of the table, but not less than 50 cm.
Two in one

TV
Many people place a TV or projector in the bedroom. This is not dictated by fashion or stylistic decisions. Everything is at your discretion. In order to combine quality - size - price, it is worth purchasing a soundbar.
Modern style
When starting to decorate a bedroom, many people prefer a modern style. And this is a reasonable decision, since the choice is in favor of the quality and durability of materials, and a reasonable pricing policy.
The modern style is characterized by:
- Use light shades. Very rarely the interior is diluted with dark tones.
- Using laminate. It is practical, moisture resistant, does not require any special care, and is reasonably priced.
- Using lightweight roller blinds.
- Refusal of chandeliers.
- Installation of a wardrobe or dressing room.
- The bed is purchased with a soft headboard.
Selection of colors
At the planning stage, the choice of the main color scheme for the decoration of the room plays an important role. There are two fundamental factors in this case:
- general style of room design;
- orientation of the room relative to the cardinal directions.
In cases where the windows face north or northeast, as well as in the presence of a barrier that blocks the room from sunlight (a nearby building or fence), experts advise choosing warm colors. Pink, orange, yellow or peach colors are suitable.
If the room is well lit by the sun during the day, it is possible to use a cool color scheme: lilac, mint or any shade of blue.
If you want to use dark tones, they must be diluted with pastel shades.
For a work corner, it is permissible to use bright color accents within reasonable limits.
