Features of the design of the bedroom 5 sq m

Design features of a very small bedroom

The design of a small bedroom boils down to two postulates: visual expansion and efficient use of every centimeter of space. This will help:

• Light shades. For decoration and furniture, choose the most neutral and discreet color scheme.
• Compact furniture. Minimum width and depth for beds, wardrobes and cabinets. Laconic design, no unnecessary decorative elements.
• Reflective surfaces. An ordinary large mirror will double the 5 sq m bedroom.
• Abundance of light. Natural and artificial.
• A minimum of decor. A large number of knickknacks will create visual noise, make the room even smaller.
• The possibility of transformation. If you plan not only to sleep in a small bedroom, pay attention to transforming items. Folding sofa, wardrobe-bed, folding table.

The most convenient layout options

Oddly enough, a square bedroom of 5 sq. m is one of the most difficult options for arrangement. While square rooms are generally considered the benchmark, the bedroom is a little different. The bed will occupy about 3 m2 of the room, which is already more than half of the entire area.

Therefore, a room with equivalent walls will have to be used only for sleeping, placing the bed in the center.

The photo shows an example of expanding space using a mirror.

Rectangular layout is more versatile. The main ways of arranging furniture:

• The bed is sideways to the window. With a bedroom width of 2 meters, the bed is placed sideways to the side farthest from the entrance. Advantage of the method: the entire niche is occupied, there is room at the door for a cabinet or a desktop. Negative: approach to the bed from one side only.
• Headboard to the window. When the window is on the long side, the bed is also placed in a niche (sideways to the short wall), and half of the headboard is at the window. Advantage: the window sill will partially replace the bedside table. With a headboard, you can put a bed against the window on a short wall in the interior, but then there will be somewhere half a meter to the side for approach and at the legs - a narrow pencil case is placed there.
• Let's walk to the window. One of the most inconvenient options. In order not to wake up from the sun, blackout curtains will be needed, and nothing to put in the legs - otherwise the opening will be partially closed.

Bottom line: if you need to place a wardrobe or a table in the bedroom, put the bed sideways to a short (2 m) wall. If you plan to install only a bed, choose any convenient option.

What color is better to arrange?

The palette plays a decisive role in the design of a 5 sq m bedroom - it is the shade of the walls, floor, ceiling, furniture that determines how the room will look after renovation.

For lovers of Scandinavian style or minimalism, classic white is most suitable. It has the greatest ability to increase space, literally blurring the boundaries between objects of the same color and making the bedroom more spacious. That is, white furniture on a white wall will become almost invisible.

For modern styles (modern, hi-tech), dilute the range with other faded colors:

• Grey. Will add airiness to the southern bedroom.
• Beige.Will make a room with northern windows warmer.
• Warm pastel. Works like beige.
• Cold pastel. Great party with gray. Look for milky, coffee, marshmallow, cream and other tasty shades of the light palette.

Do you find light colors boring? Dilute it with small bright spots. But it is precisely small - plain flashy curtains or a blanket on the bed will not work. But a catchy print or small drawing on light curtains is what you need. In the design of a small bedroom, use colored pillows, photographs or paintings, lampshades for a variety.

What kind of furniture will fit?

Suitable furniture for a small bedroom 5 square meters - laconic, compact, light. Multifunctional is desirable. The main attribute of any room for sleeping is a bed. Forget about the oversized models 180-200 cm wide, otherwise it will be impossible to even enter the room. Your option is 140-160 cm. The idea of ​​shortening the length also works. For short people, 190 cm will be enough - the savings seem insignificant, but at 5 square meters it will be very noticeable.

A suitable headboard is either soft wall panels (ideally in the color of the walls or a couple of shades darker), or as airy as possible. In the second case, a white wrought-iron bed is meant. In the layout, when the bed is pushed against the wall, ordinary pillows will play the role of the headboard.

They refuse from bedside tables altogether or acquire light airy models.

There will be no room for a classic wardrobe or wardrobe. But you can order a built-in wardrobe according to your dimensions, or a tall pencil case. Be sure to use all the space to the ceiling - the capacity will increase by 20-30%.

The desktop also needs to be compact. Some people build it directly into the closet, or install a folding console.

Decor and lighting

We have already mentioned that a lot of light is needed. Even for a small bedroom of 5 square meters, an ordinary ceiling chandelier is not enough.

• Try not to block the natural light from the window. If there is practically no sun in the bedroom, you can replace heavy blackout curtains with light curtains or refuse them altogether.
• Artificial lighting will be needed at several points: bedside sconces, ceiling chandelier, lamps in the work or dressing area. Use white or slightly warm lamps to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Since there is simply not enough space for works of art, the decor must be functional. The main decoration of the bedroom is textiles. Pillows, blankets, bedspreads, bedside rugs, curtains - choose according to your style and color palette.

Paintings or photo frames need to be related to the size of the room. That is, instead of one big one, it is better to take 2-3 small ones.

Place vases or pots with flowers, figurines and other tabletop little things only if there is free space. It is better to refuse floor accessories.
