Think, Jewelry Box 

Similar to a jewelry box, paint the walls with bright and bold colors or patterned wallpaper. Choose a charming light fixture instead of your average floor lamp, like a chandelier, and decorate with fancy framed mirrors. Use your small bedroom to make a statement.

Add Height

 

Hang window treatments closer to the ceiling to make the room appear taller. Keep the drapes light and airy to bring in the natural light.

Storage Bed

If you’re in the market for a new bed, consider a bed with builtin drawers underneath for extra storage. Or raise your bed with bed risers, they’ll give your bed an extra lift so you have more room to store things underneath.

Use them as a nightstand, an entry table by the door, a bookcase, a laptop desk, etc. Wrap them in wall paper for a more decorative look or spray paint them with metallic colors.
