Stylish Small Bedroom Ideas with Replacement Unit Doors

It isn’t always easy to get the most out of the smallest bedroom in your home, which is why we’re here today with some of our top tips and design tricks to make sure even the smallest spaces make a big impact for the right reasons.

5 Tips to Integrate Design in Your Bedroom

1. Create a cosy retreat with a bold colour or pattern 

Whether you prefer block colours or intricate patterns, using a bold colour in a small space can help you to create a bedroom that feels like a cosy retreat away from the rest of the world.

Although you might assume that being bold with colour and using it on every wall will make your space feel smaller, it can actually make a room feel bigger as there are fewer contrasting colours that can make walls appear closer together. You could even take this one step further by covering your ceiling in the same colour or wallpaper that adorns your walls.

This tip works especially well in spaces with slanted ceilings, as it can really draw the eye upwards and make a room feel larger. 

2. Enhance the sense of space by hanging floor to ceiling curtains 

By positioning curtain rails at the top of the wall rather than immediately above your window frame, you’ll find that your eyes will naturally be drawn upwards, which will make your room feel more spacious and airy.

A similar effect can be achieved by placing a large wall-to-wall rug in a small bedroom rather than a smaller option. As there won’t be any harsh lines for the eye to get caught on as you’re looking around the room, you’ll enhance rather than minimise the room’s overall sense of space.

3. Incorporate depth with texture 

Paying attention to the textures you’re using can bring a sense of depth to your space, even if you want to keep your colour palette neutral and restful. This can be particularly beneficial when creating a space with lots of neutral, airy tones. 

Pro Tip: When layering neutrals, look at the undertones of the colours you’re choosing. For example, if you’ve got a beautifully upholstered headboard in a warm-toned grey material, pairing it with new Bella York cupboard fronts in a warm colour, such as cream, blush pink or a natural oak can create a cohesive bedroom that wouldn’t look out of place in a high-end countryside hotel spa.

4. Be strategic with storage and utilise replacement unit doors 

Even the smallest spaces can incorporate plenty of storage, but doing so successfully can require a little strategic thinking. From floating shelves to clever storage solutions below and above the bed, you can really let your creativity run wild here. 

Pro Tip: If you’re already pleased with the amount of storage in your bedroom but you’re looking for ways to ensure it fits in with your new design, replacement unit doors are an affordable way to rejuvenate existing cabinets.

5. Lighting is key 

Lighting is important for every space, but this is especially true for smaller rooms that may not feel as airy or open as you would like. When looking for lighting solutions for a bedroom, we recommend avoiding bright, harsh options and instead focusing on layering light to create an atmosphere that feels welcoming and restful.

If you don’t have space for tables on either side of the bed, wall-mounted lights can be a chic option that will still allow you to read before going to sleep. If you don’t like having the big light on, strategically positioned freestanding lamps can enable you to create the right ambience regardless of whether you’re getting dressed for the day ahead or winding down after a busy weekend.
