What furniture works? How to keep everything from looking cramped? They are the most common doubts, but they do not have to generate anxiety.

Keep reading because in this note we are going to give you some tips to decorate your small double bedroom with a lot of style and optimizing every available square meter.


1. Choose the colors well

The first thing you need to know about decorating a small double bedroom is that the color palette you choose is very important. 

Choosing a bad tone can make the space smaller or larger and is also responsible for the atmosphere it will feel.

In this case, the ideal is to choose a color like white, neutral, and with an incredible ability to make small spaces look much larger than they really are.

However, if you find this tone somewhat boring or you prefer to use it in bedding, then go for beige , terracotta, the lighter range of gray or any of your choice, as long as they are pastel tones.

Now, if darker colors are your thing and you have ample natural lighting , thanks to the windows, then you could give yourself a pass. 

Prefer a coating with a mirror effect, which will give more space to your double bedroom.

2. Prefer functional furniture

A small bedroom for two people, such as a double room, can be overwhelming. For this reason, it is most recommended to opt for functional furniture for storage ; including shoe racks, wardrobes and chests of drawers.

For example, you could buy a custom-made bed, with drawers to store shoes or any other type of accessories.

For very small spaces, a sofa bed will be of great help, which you can pick up during the day.

Likewise, it is recommended to choose a custom-made closet with the specific spaces that you and your partner are going to use.

Another idea is to take advantage of the upper space with modular or suspended furniture and shelves .

3. Take advantage of every available space

There are some bedrooms that are not entirely small, but do have difficult spaces.

For example, areas under the window or corners with shapes where nothing seems to fit.

Before giving up on using these spaces, think about how to optimize them. 

You could put up a chair or install a custom bench, where you can read while enjoying the sun streaming through the window.

It is also a good idea to install some floating shelves to place books or other decorative objects .

The idea is that you think outside the box and don’t leave those spaces free because you don’t know how to take advantage of them.

4. Opt for mini auxiliary tables

Side tables are very necessary. There you can leave medications, a glass of water, the alarm clock or any item you need close at hand.

Valuing their functionality, when it comes to decorating a small double bedroom, mini side tables are recommended .

Since it is about making good use of space, it is best to buy a couple of them with a round shape or install some floating ones .

5. Use mirrors to expand vision

Mirrors are essential allies for small spaces. You can install them directly on the wall, flat, or add them through the furniture you have, such as cabinets or the dresser. 

As for shapes, they will look good in a round design , since it softens the environment quite a bit.

Its function is to double the bedroom space and add more lighting. A great idea is to have a natural light source in front of or next to the mirror.

6. Choose to decorate with natural fiber

No matter how small your double bedroom is, when decorating it is necessary to remember that this is an intimate space and that it should evoke warmth and peace.

For this reason, it is recommended to think about a rug ; And what better than that, that it be made of natural fibers.

Among the options you have, we invite you to think about a pair of night lamps that are hanging and made of fiber and wood.

Although it is somewhat rustic, this is an accessory that looks great in combination with white and brown or gray tones.

7. Keep everything in order

The key to making the decoration of a small double bedroom stand out is to maintain order.

Although we are talking about two people living in the same space, we must ensure that everything is in its place .

To achieve this, leave a basket in the bathroom or laundry area to place the clothes you are going to wash and avoid throwing them in the room.

Shoes should always be in their place, never scattered around the bedroom. Tables, dressers and shelves must be tidy at all times.

8. Less is always more

Although the minimalist atmosphere is not for everyone, when you have a small double bedroom it is ideal to adopt it.

When decorating, the ideal is to create a list as a couple of the things you need and stick to it .
