You want to create a room that is light and bright if space is limited, which is why opting for neutral colours and earthy tones can be a great idea. White walls reflect the natural light that flows in through the windows while the soft, earthy colours create a soothing, tranquil and serene environment.

Tip: Opt for light wooden furniture for a homely touch.

2. Plenty of storage

Storage in a small bedroom is key. Opt for as many drawers, cabinets, shelves and cupboards as possible, without overwhelming the space of course!

Tip: Recycle and old ladder to create a little hanging space corner, without taking up too much room.
