A small room can sometimes look cramped and uncomfortable. But, fortunately, with the help of repairs, you can make it larger, more spacious, and, most importantly, express yourself in these decorations.
Steps
Step 1. Get permission from adults (parents) if you are going to do something global, for example, buy new furniture or paint walls
Step 2. Clean up the room
This is useful if you are going to move furniture, paint walls, and generally make the room more comfortable.
Step 3. Think over the design
It can be absolutely anything you want. I realized that the simplest options are universal, like, for example, various color compositions. Make sure the decor isn't too bright, so that it doesn't overwhelm the already small space of the room.
Step 4. If the room is very small, try to limit yourself to two colors
For example, red and white. White will make the room wider and more spacious, while red will add warmth and comfort.
Step 5. Start planning
Write down on paper everything you need to do, what will come in handy, and so on.
Step 6 (Optional) It's time to paint
Choose a pastel shade that won't overwhelm the room. If your room is large, then a brighter or darker shade will do. It's time for a tricky decision, and each shade can be chosen for a number of reasons.
- Red: An alluring color and a bold decision. But this is not the best idea for a bedroom, the shade can be too bright and this will only overload the interior of the room.
- Blue: A calm, relaxing shade, a great choice for the bedroom. This is the most productive color. However, if it is too cold, you may be freezing in such a room.
- Yellow: Uplifting, bright, full of energy and happiness. The perfect solution for almost any room. This is an excellent color, however, not everyone wants to live in a yellow bedroom.
- Green: Relaxing and refreshing color. Pleasant to the eye and uplifting. Posters may not look as pretty as if they were in certain colors.
- Lilac: The color of luxury, lilac refers to the luxury shades. In light colors, it gives the interior harmony and tranquility. And even soothes the nerves. But it won't work with every color palette.
- Pink: Pretty girly color - calm and warm.
Step 7. Think over the furniture
While the paint is drying, it's time to think about what you will put in the renovated room. Think about what exactly you will be doing in it. Learn lessons? Then you need a desk. Are you going to read? Definitely worth putting in a bookcase.
Step 8. Decide exactly where you will put the furniture
Where will the bed be located? Nightstand? Desk? (Of course, these are just examples, but a bed in the bedroom is a must!) You should try PB, the youth room planner.
Step 9. Look, maybe there are some things that no one else needs, but they will just come in handy in your room
Maybe you can find some cool jewelry.
Step 10. Wander around the thrift stores, there may be many useful things
Look for fabrics from which you can sew pillows or covers for your pillows, bedding that will match the color palette of the room. Just find what works for you.
Step 11. Take what you already have and try to place it in your updated room
There is no need to try to cram everything into it, only the necessary. Overloading things will make the room childish and not what you really want.
Step 12. Express yourself in decorating your room
The best advice! You can make the room exactly what YOU want! Add fun pillows, colorful posters, anything that looks great! But do not forget that the best is the enemy of the good, and do not fill up the room with a bunch of unnecessary junk - it will look just awful.
Advice
- Listen to YOURSELF, not your friends, when making repairs.
- As you design, express yourself and your style will be visible throughout the room.
- When you start painting, remove the carpet to avoid staining it with paint.
- Try not to let animals (and people too) into the room while painting the walls, and indeed during the entire renovation.
- A great way to refresh a room is to paint it white and dilute it with bright colors on bedding, lamps, and pillows. Once you get tired of them, they can be easily replaced.
- Keep your parents informed so they don't get nervous about the endless influx of colors and fabrics into your home.
- Parents can be helpful and helpful, but don't let them command the parade.
Warnings
- Try not to use wallpaper as it is difficult to glue.
- Make sure your color palette is age appropriate and you haven't grown out of these colors.
- You might want to save money on buying everything you need.
- Don't forget to ask permission to paint the room.
