Decorating a bijoux bedroom can pose many challenges as you try to balance style with function. Once you've nailed clever storage solutions, you can begin to introduce colour and pattern to bring the room to life
SMALL BEDROOMS

Top tip

CREATE INTEREST

Naturally, an all-white scheme will feel spacious and airy. You may want to add a touch of personality with a squiggle or scallop paint effect or introduce your favourite prints on the bedding.

Think outside the box

If you haven't quite the room for a rug, why not consider adding softness to your floor with a runner? Its long, rectangular shape may be just the thing a narrow room needs.

Conceal your desk

A run of fitted wardrobes offers the chance to squeeze in a hidden home office. All you need is a work surface and shelves. Opt for sliding doors that stack on top of each other for best use of the space.

Playful touch

If a full wall is too bold for you, try introducing patterned fabrics through blinds, curtains and cushions. Think abstract prints, bold shapes and block colours.

Three of the best: drawers

Just because it's practical and essential, doesn't mean you should skimp on style. Instead, go all out with a decorative design or a splash of colour to transform your boudoir.

Perfect pairing

When decorating with deep blue shades, the cool undertones can often create a gloomy feel. Counteract this by teaming with warm muted tones of blush pink.

Screen time

Whether you intend to carve out a cosy WFH environment, add a little privacy or give yourself a dressing room set-up, panel screens that can be folded away when not in use are a nifty solution.
