Make A Small Bedroom Look Elegant

A small bedroom can seem just as elegant as a master bedroom.


While a small bedroom offers you organizational and storage challenges, it does have advantages to larger sleeping quarters. Small bedrooms can seem effortlessly cozy, and everything is usually an arm's length away. However, if you're not interested in playing up the quaint aspect of your bedroom, it is still possible to make a small bedroom seem just as elegant as a master bedroom in a manor or mansion. It's all about using the space strategically.


Instructions


1. Hang classic wallpaper such as damask or a fleur-de-lis pattern. This will give the room a classic backdrop. Opt for lighter shades, as dark walls will make the room feel smaller.


2. Expose the hardwood floors or install such flooring. Hardwood floors will give the room a traditional look without making it feel cramped the way wall-to-wall carpeting can. Add a plush throw rug for a touch of luxury.








3. Position a full-size mahogany or cherry four-poster bed. A full-size bed won't take up as much room, but will still offer you an adequate amount of sleeping space. Position the bed in a corner to free up as much space as possible.


4. Install a crystal chandelier in the center of the ceiling. This will effortlessly give your room an elegant look.


5. Hang balloon shades or full length drapes from the windows in a light color that matches your bedding. These window treatments will give the room a graceful yet traditional look.


6. Place a richly upholstered step stool by the bed for a luxurious detail. The step stool should match the color of the wallpaper or the bedding.
