Utilizing Your Bedroom Decor: How to Stylize a Smaller Space


Whoever coined the phrase, “Life’s a journey” wasn’t kidding. As we ascend up the ladder of our careers, and forge new relationships, we may not always occupy the ideal space for ourselves. Sometimes this is out of our control; in the case of noisy neighbors, passing trolleys, or unclean roommates. Conversely, it may not be your surroundings, but the size of your space itself that is bugging you.

Today, Curly’s Furniture is here to tell you that there’s hope yet, regardless of how large, small or cramped your bedroom may be.

Be Focused, Be Purposeful

When you enter a room, the first thing you do is look around until your eye catches something. A smaller bedroom poses a unique challenge here, limited as it is in terms of the quantity, and size of its decor. But knowing this basic truth, you can plan around it.

Designate a spot in your bedroom—be it your headboard against a wall, or your nightstand and a classic lampshade—as the focal of the space. With your gaze, and those of your guests oriented toward a specific spot, you can decorate accordingly, by expanding out from here.

Minimalism Reigns Supreme

Inside a small space, you may have a million different ideas and a whole collection of accents in storage; but be mindful of how much you furnish. Heed our wisdom here, by determining exactly which size bed will work best for you, then complement it with some classy decor.

Because it can be tucked behind your bed, we highly recommend an upholstered headboard: the perfect bedside cushioning, and the ideal vehicle for the aesthetic you want in your bedroom.

Stylize Your Space, Bit by Bit

But at the end of the day, this mantra being repeating: “Decorating is not a race.” Give yourself a chance to feel out your space, piece by piece, until you reach a state of satisfaction. Whether it’s a modern nightstand or chic dresser that calls to you, don’t purchase the first thing you see; give it a try, in-person, before you bring it into your bedroom.
