Small rooms can be frustrating and challenging to arrange furniture and decorate. I have also struggled in the past dealing with small rooms. One of the keys is to create the room to have a larger look and feel. Light tones and pastels are one of making the room seem bigger.

Another way is to arrange your furniture so that the appearance of the room is not cluttered. One of the biggest problem people get into with decorating a tiny room, is the furniture is too big for the size of the room.

Get a little creative with when decorating a tiny area. If you have existing furniture and the furniture just won't fit right, consider using different furniture from other rooms in that particular space. There are many times I will mix and match different furniture from other rooms. The main goal which you hear me talk about is matching in color tones, as well as creating a good balance to the room. Below is a couple of simple diagrams of two little bedrooms.

Both of these pictures are very basic tiny rooms. Lets go through some things you should look at when planning your color and furniture in a little space.

The first diagram is of a simple layout of a bed, two dressers and a television on a stand. If your room is tiny and you don't have enough space for two dressers, arrange the one dresser in a central location on a wall. Don't cram your bed into space, and a good idea if you are purchasing a bed for a tiny space, don't buy a bed that is bigger than the space can handle. Too big and too much furniture in a tiny area results in frustration day after day. Notice in the first diagram how I positioned each piece of furniture. The room is balanced.

The second diagram gives you a basic idea of a tiny bedroom with twin beds in a room. If space is available, you can arrange two dressers across from each other. If the area is just too tiny for two dressers, put a dresser on one wall and across from it put a desk, small play area, or another accent. This will of course depend on the ages of the persons using the room. Another option is to put a night stand in the middle, between the two beds.

You can also consider two tiny night stands on either side of both beds. Working with any tiny space requires a little creativity and also making that small space special. I remember in a house we lived in Rochester, New York. We had a long and big master bedroom, but only a very tiny and narrow master bathroom. We had a shower, commode, and also put a pedestal sink in the bathroom. The pedestal sink is a great space saver, and also creates an eloquence look in a bathroom. Here are four simple tips to follow.
