bedroom set vanity table image
lipsyguru7
I have a rather small bedroom, so it's really difficult to fit all of my furniture in a way that doesn't seem crowded. I have a bed, tall dresser, desk with a hutch, a long vanity table, jewelry armoire, and nightstand. Do you have any floorplan recommendations?? Thanks so much!!
Answer
Painting your room can do a whole lot to change it and make it unique. It can also make it seem larger. When painting your room you will want to make sure it's a light color because dark colors will make the room seem smaller. Even if you can't paint your room it doesn't mean that you're going to have a boring room.
Try to use as much natural lighting as possible. Natural lighting will make the room seem much more larger. If you have a big window I don't recommend having heavy curtains. Of course you will still need privacy so just have some good blinds instead of heavy curtains. Also having blinds that block the view from creepers but still let in light are great if your the one who cant wake up in the morning, because a dark room will just make you wanna roll over and go back to sleep.
Having a small room definitely doesn't mean you can't have more furniture than just your bed, but I would still keep it to a minimum. The furniture that you do have it's best to have more than one use. Make sure it has some storage. Ottomans with storage in them to hide things. Bedside tables with drawers so that the top doesn't get cluttered.
Instead of cluttering floor space try having some wall shelves to store things like nail polishes, perfumes, picture and other things like that that can clutter a vanity area, and bedside tables. Target sells these cube shelves that are great for cute little decorating items like small vases, picture frames, etc (http://m.target.com/p/wall-cube-set-of-3/-/A-13235277)
For the less attractive things, decorative hat boxes are great to hide them in and store on a shelve or in your closet. (http://shop.hobbylobby.com/baking-and-party-supplies/treat-containers-and-boxes/decorative-boxes/)
Make sure you have an organized closet the more you can store in there the better. That way you don't have to store so much out in the open.

How to make my large bedroom seem smaller, cozier?
jennifoo22
My bedroom is huge. I have usual furniture in it-- dressers, a twin bed, couple pics on the wall, etc, but it still looks too big! What can I do to make it look cozier without doing something major, like painting the whole room? Please note my apartment is rented, so i can't make any major, permanent changes.
I do have curtains and blinds in my room-- the usual stuff.
Answer
Painting isn't all that major, when you move, just prime and paint over it again, to the original color. It is the most impact for the money. I would go with your fav rich color, something like a dark neutral, like a charcoal gray or a caramel color, or a jewel tone with a glaze to make it shiny and transparent colors.
Window treatments, go BIG. Sheers across the windows, scaled to size and maybe a little longer than usual, but expand the look of the windows with the second layer. Use sexy touchable fabrics like chenille, velour, etc in a rich color, go higher than the window, across the whole window wall, or set up panels to tieback in between windows.
For furnishings, some ideas:
Bigger furniture pieces, esp if you can get a bigger bed. If you can't change the size, at least make it give a bigger impact. You can put the bed on a platform, or make a grand headboard to give it a bigger scale.
You can make good use of the space by setting up zones for other tasks in the room. It doesn't have to cost a lot. Some ideas: Allow generous room between zones so that the
A sitting area with a chair and/or couch, ottoman, reading light, a bookshelf.
A vanity area, maybe just a card table (dressed up with a table cloth) and a stray, simply designed dining chair (dressed up with a pillow case and a tassel like a slipcover). Use inexpensive baskets to store your makeup, perfumes, and hair products. Lighting is important here, if you can put it by a window, also include a lit makeup mirror.
A dressing area with an ottoman to sit and put your shoes on, maybe an old dressmakers dummy to model your fav coat or dress when you aren't using it. Include a full length mirror, for big impact, get a big one in a frame and lean it on the floor.
An exercise area. Outfit it with a minifridge to put bottled water in, maybe a coat rack to hang your towel and rolled up yoga mat.
An entertainment area, with TV, stereo, dance area, karaoke machine, stereo system, whatever. Add appropriate seating if you need it. A bench, some cute folding chairs.
An office, writing, art, craft, or other creative space.
Pick a few of these according to your interests and assign them places in the room perhaps a corner for each, with sensible neighbors of each group, for instance, maybe your dressing area is set up in front of or near the closet door, and next to that, you have a vanity area. Create boundaries and flow with furniture placement and rugs.
