Decorating Small Bedrooms For Women

A woman's bedroom should feel like a retreat.


Small bedrooms provide the perfect place to escape the day because they are intimate and cozy. A woman's bedroom that happens to be small might seem like a decorating challenge, but it doesn't have to be. The most important thing to keep in mind is that your bedroom should be a retreat from the rest of the world. You can accomplish decorating a small bedroom with a feminine touch in no time at all.


Instructions


1. Decorate your bedroom with furniture that fits. Keep furniture and accessories to scale and use pieces with clean lines for a comfortable look. Avoid overstuffed pieces and pieces with ornate inlays.


2. Paint your bedroom with a color you love. White is not the only option for small rooms. Try shades of green for a sense of energy. Blue tones are soothing and work well in bedrooms. Yellow will add warmth to your bedroom. Lilac and light shades of pink are other options for rooms with feminine appeal.


3. Select fabrics that will give the room a feminine look. Chintz instantly gives bedrooms a soft and cozy feel. Lace and vintage linens offer a look of romance.


4. Hang curtains that keep the room feeling open and feminine. Hang them close to the ceiling and on the outside of window frames. This creates a sense of spaciousness in the room. Use sheers for a light and romantic look or opt for a swag of floral fabric to enhance the room's romantic mood.


5. Choose accessories that enhance femininity. To keep a small bedroom from looking smaller, keep out the clutter. Choose only items you need. Look for nightstands and vanity tables painted white or with a distressed look for a vintage, lived-in look.


6. Hang mirrors in your bedroom to make the room feel larger and add a romantic quality. Choose a mirror with a frame that coordinates with your d cor to give your room a finished look.


7. Select items for your bedroom that serve multiple purposes. Decorative or stackable boxes hide clutter and help a room feel unified. A trunk at the foot of the bed gives you a place to store seasonal clothing or linens.
