Wallpaper for a small bedroom: color, design, combination, ideas for low ceilings and narrow rooms

Rules for choosing wallpaper to visually enlarge the room

There are a number of ways to visually enlarge a room. In order to choose any of the options, it is necessary to determine which of the parameters of the bedroom does not suit and I would like to increase it. However, the general rules remain unchanged and will help expand the boundaries not only of the bedroom, but also of any other room.

• Wallpaper with vertical or horizontal stripes visually stretches and expands the space of a small bedroom,
• the lighter the tone of the finish, the more spacious the small room seems, white and blue colors are especially good at this task,
• wall murals with a perspective will visually increase the area of ​​a small bedroom, for example, a road receding into the distance,
• in a small room without windows, to get rid of the feeling of a closed space, murals with a picture of an open window and artificial daylight will help,
• in a small bedroom, located on the north side, it is better to use wallpaper in warm colors for decoration, they make up for the lack of sunlight.

What color of wallpaper is better to choose?

Everyone knows the rule, light colors make a small bedroom more spacious. However, this does not mean that the walls in the room should be exclusively white. Delicate shades will be the best solution for creating a comfortable design. Colors such as beige, sky blue, light gray, cream or sand will refresh the interior or make it warmer, without sacrificing precious square meters.

Which shade to choose depends on the location of the room, more precisely on which side the windows face and how bright the lighting is in the room. Also, a small bedroom does not mean the absence of bright colors and large patterns, an accent wall or a fragment of it will add colors to the bedroom interior.

For a dark bedroom

Lack of light in a small bedroom can be compensated for with artificial lighting, mirrors and the right color for the wallpaper. Finishing should be in a light palette, and warm shades, sand, light yellow, beige, light green are considered priority colors. These colors will fill a small room with warm colors and will be associated with the sun's rays.

For a bright bedroom

A light bedroom has more possibilities, you can use bright elements in it, but it is better to choose the main tone as light, but cold. Blue, gray, white, mint. These shades will refresh the bedroom while maintaining the balance of light.

What design of a picture or pattern to choose to increase the space?

The design of a small bedroom will be equally successful with plain wallpaper and patterned coverings, the main thing is to choose it correctly.

• If the decoration of a small bedroom will be completely done with one type of wallpaper, then it is better to stop at the choice of a small pattern,
• volumetric images should be used to decorate only one of the walls of a small room,
• for a small room with a high ceiling, horizontal stripes or patterns will be a good option, they will "push" the walls,
• you need to take into account the future design of the room, if you plan to fill the interior with bright details and textiles, then you should choose a plain wallpaper.

Large drawing or ornament

Three-dimensional images and ornaments can be used to decorate one of the walls of a small bedroom. This can be the head of the bed, a wall behind the TV, or a randomly selected area. It is better to decorate the rest of the bedroom with light monochromatic or small nondescript wallpaper.

This method helps to focus attention on one of the walls, making it voluminous. In a very small room, a large drawing may occupy only a small part of the wall, however, it will also be noticeable. The image should match the style of the room and reflect its mood.
