6 Clever Tricks To Learn From A Small, Swedish Box Bedroom

Many of us have a small box room in our home. Maybe it’s the master bedroom, maybe it’s a guest room – or maybe you’re a student living in halls (been there!). Whatever the case, it can be soooo tricky to get the balance right, don’t you think? A few months ago I shared a feature on 16 ways to transform a tiny room into a dreamy, yet practical bedroom – and the response was overwhelming. So, today I thought I ‘d share a tour of another mini yet mighty bedroom! Despite the small size, the bedroom is clutter-free and feels the essence of calm thanks to 6 clever styling tricks. I hope it inspires you to transform the tiniest room in your home!

1. If you use too many colours in a small space it will quickly start to feel cramped. Yet, subtle, earthy nuances help to add interest while maintaining an element of calm. Try Magic Linen* for similar linen bedding.

2. A low round table plays with the height of the room and takes up less visual space – providing a spot for bedtime reads, morning coffee and even fresh blooms!

3. Combine different textures in similar tones to add a cosy feel to the room while keeping the look clutter-free.

4. Make the most of every inch with a wall-to-wall wardrobe. A cleverly placed mirror also helps to light up a dark room and create the illusion of space. This one is available at IKEA.

5. An additional bedside table at the foot of the bed provides an extra spot for smaller items.

6. A row of hooks is perfect for adhoc (or your prettiest) items – but also helps the room to feel cosy. FYI I spotted hooks like these in H&M Home the other day!

I might just steal some of these tricks for my elder daughters room!
