We are all for playing fast and loose when it comes to design 'rules', but in smaller spaces, we are slightly more inclined to listen to these tried and tested approaches. Because in a tight space, you don't only want it to look lovely and reflect your own personal style, but you also have the added task of needing to make the space look bigger, lighter, loftier. So maybe it is best to play by just some of the rules.
We spoke with designers who have a ton of experience when it comes to getting the most from small bedrooms to find out what decor mistakes you could make, and more importantly, how to avoid them. From colors to steer clear of, to the furniture designs that are a no-go, these tips will make it much simpler to create a space that gets the basics right (then you can go ahead and add in your own character and break the rules that you need to break).
