Whether you have just moved in your one room apartment or a dorm room you would want to look its best. The key to decorate a small room is to keep things minimal but that does not have to be boring. Bring in an organic, free spirited vibe by introducing functional Bohemian inspired home decor items into your room which also act as a beautiful piece of décor. Here are a few tips and tricks to make your room look its best regardless of its size.
1. Fix the bed
First, maneuver and get your bed in place which should preferably be a single one. Once that is done, you know how much space you are left to work with. Invest in a good mattress and a few quality bed linens in white or soft pastels. It is best to avoid any patterned bed sheets as you want the bed to look pristine and inviting. Add texture and color with cushions. Go for beautiful and colourful tribal prints and textured cushion covers. We have spotted stunning boho cushion covers online that you might want to check.
2. Ditch the side table
Do not waste space by adding any side table beside your bed to hold your niht lamp. Does that mean no night lamp? Absolutely not! Buy a pair or two of hexagonal glass lantern and hang them beside your bed. If you do not want to go through the hassle of contacting an electrician in a new place then we have got your back. Buy a few strands of battery operated fairy lights and shove it inside the lantern. Hammer two or four simple hooks on the wall beside your bed and hang the twinkling lanterns.
3. Say no to the bulky Couch
No need or space for a sofa or elaborate couch and buy a cute little woven puff in a pretty color. Place it at one corner of the room and your sitting arrangement is done. The woven pattern adds a subtle boho touch.
4. Mirror, mirror on the Wall
Yeah, quite literally. Save floor space and invest in a utility vanity stand in place of a dresser. You can find beautiful ones online which are in tones of muted gold. It has a circular mirror and a stand attached in front of it where you can keep your daily essentials so you don’t waste time fiddling around for product while getting ready in the morning.
5. Rug it up
Carpets are great to not only keep your feet protected from the cold floor during winters but also add a touch of glam to room but they are quite high maintenance. Instead, opt for a beautiful jute rug either with popping tribal print to add color or in a subtle colour but with a textured finish. They do the job of a carpet while on a budget. And, bonus: no need to take them to the laundry.
6. Add some green
Invest in a pretty gold planter or two that matches the gold of your mirror and set them in one corner. You can either go for succulents or compact air purifying plants which are also low maintenance. We suggest mother-in-laws-tongue as it is also quite compact making it fit for small spaces.
We hope you are all ready to spice up your room with these tips. And what even more exciting is you can find all these items online at very good prices so no need for you to waste a weekend bargaining in a flea market stall.
