Nowadays, it has become more and more common to design modern houses and apartments with small rooms. However, the lack of space does not have to be seen as a problem; after all, there are some decoration tricks that help to enlarge the environment and make it much more functional and practical for everyday life.

First of all, you should keep in mind that lighter and neutral shades, such as white, off white and beige are much better options than darker ones, since they provide a much more spacious feeling than the real one. With a light environment, you can add color in small details of the room, such as bedding, decorative objects, pictures, rugs, pillows, curtains,among others.

In addition, if the idea is not to occupy the entire room with just one bed, bet on a smaller size and use the space with functional furniture that is useful for the environment, such as a small bedside table, a bed with drawers, hanging shelves that do not occupy space and ceiling lamps.

Another fundamental tip is to put as many mirrors as you can in the room, such as in the closet doors, for example, because they give a feeling of depth and cause the illusion that the room is larger.

Below we have listed several small bedrooms for you to get inspired and be the best at decorating your home:
