The colors, extremely important

The first thing to do, before buying furniture, is to choose a good color for the bedroom. Since it is small, it has to be a neutral tone that makes the space seem a bit larger.   The white color is usually indicated for this , a great color if the room is a bit dark. Although in reality the square meters will remain the same, it will seem to you that it measures much more! Another option would be the shades in light gray. A little gray gives seriousness to the decoration of the room, at the same time that it has a small effect similar to that of white. A light earth tone also has the same effect.

The room has a lot of natural light, what color do I choose?

  It may happen that you have a bedroom with a lot of natural light, as it can be in a corner of the building or face the street. Whatever the reason, although white and gray can also be used in these cases, is better to look for other colors that do not increase the "power of natural light", so as not to feel uncomfortable when entering the room. So what color to put in a small double room with lots of natural light? You can go for the chocolate brown color, which is a very mature color, a pearl gray, a navy blue tone and even a green. Colors that are not only perfect for the bedroom, but also relax.

Soil is also important

The type of floor in the room also influences a little the perception of the space. If it is a floor that is the same as the one in the corridor, will seem to have a continuity, and therefore it will appear to you to be larger. The material that most causes this effect is wood, but it is somewhat expensive. However, it has been shown that the same effect is achieved with ceramic tiles. Why don't you try it?

How about a room open to the rest of the house?

Have you ever thought that you could have a Loft-style house? For houses that are small, it is the best technique to make that looks bigger than it really is. Of course, you are not going to let the bedroom be in view, needing some privacy, don't you think? So , you can put some glazed walls, which on the sides are opaque while those in the door area are transparent . That will give privacy to the bedroom, while allowing you to enjoy plenty of natural light.

One bedroom with a bathroom with a little bit of separation

Is it possible that you have an en suite bathroom in the room? The fact that there is a wall separating both areas makes the double bedroom seem smaller. So why don't you follow the example of some hotels? Instead of a brick wall, the bathroom is separated from the bedroom behind a glass wall. Although you can see the interior, don't worry, because that will give you a feeling of depth in the room. Another option, widely used in urban style decoration, would be to raise a wall but not reach the ceiling. It should be about as tall as you, so you don't see the inside, but it doesn't seem to invade the bedroom.

The bed, a double weapon

  Since you do not have enough space, you will have to find ways to reuse everything you will have in the bedroom. And one of those elements will be the double bed.   If you buy a bed with a chest, you will have more than enough storage space. A perfect place to store blankets, sheets, towels or clothes that you will not use until the next season. It does not have to be a chest that opens up, beds with side drawers are also sold that have the same capacity as if they were of the other model. Choose the model that you think will best suit you.

How about a fold-down bed?

If the bedroom is narrow, and during the day you find it difficult to move in it, or your whole house is a study and you need as much free space as possible, , haven't you considered buying a folding double bed? Small apartments have become very fashionable, and have the advantage that they also have storage space to store clothes. Why don't you try it? Also, if you use the bedroom as a work area, you will want the space to be free, right?

Buy bedside tables with plenty of storage space

Just as a chest under the bed can be used to store things, so can the night tables. In stores you will see that there are night tables that do not have drawers, which will not suit you. Bedside tables in a small double bedroom should have as many drawers as possible. To what end? Well, they can come in handy for storing underwear. This will leave free space in the closet for other clothes.

A normal wardrobe? Best of sliding doors!
