Decorate One Bedroom With Two Single Beds

Two beds in a bedroom cuts down on the open spaces.


Decorating a bedroom with two single beds is not complicated. Keep in mind the use of the room when deciding upon colors and decor styles. If the room is a guest bedroom or for the use of one occupant, the design of the room will vary then if the room has two occupants that share the bedroom area. Two beds in one normal-sized bedroom can visually decrease the size of the room, so it is important to use decor that will maximize the space.








Instructions


1. Use matching bedding for the single beds. This creates visual flow and prevents breaking up the space. Avoid monotony by having different coordinating throw pillows for each bed.


2. Place a nightstand in between the two beds. This allows for each person to make use of an alarm clock or reading lamp.


3. Position the beds as close to the nearest side wall as possible to allow extra walking space in the bedroom.


4. Paint the walls in a pale pastel or light neutral shade. Pale colors visually enlarge the area.


5. Use two different paint colors on the side walls of the room if you have siblings that need to express their individuality, but choose colors that complement, contrast or are in the same color family. Paint the wall behind the head of the beds -- the focal point of the room -- with vertical stripes. Form the stripes by placing masking tape on the wall to form stripes that are 6 inches in width. Paint the focal wall with one of the colors and paint the stripes the other color in the room. Remove the tape once the paint dries. This allows the individuals to have their own color choice and the stripes make the colors blend in a creative way.


6. Place an area rug in between the two beds that coordinates with the bedding and wall colors.
