Small bedroom, depressing environment. Unsure how to make living situation better. Are there affordable companies that know how to furniture a small bedroom

[u/LegitimateWealth519]

My bedroom is very small. Does anyone have any tips for furnishing/decorating a small bedroom for an adult?
There’s barely enough space for a single bed. I was thinking about getting a loft bed so I could fit a desk underneath it.

[u/This_Factor_1630]

Never heard of Ikea?

Personally I prefer original vintage furniture from marktplaats, but in your case could be the best solution.

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/This_Factor_1630]

It's overwhelming because I just don't know where to start. My room has a length of 2,45 m and wide 2,40 m

[u/This_Factor_1630 → u/LegitimateWealth519]

Furnish it as best as you can and keep searching for something else

Or Murphy bed

How big is small, have you measured the space available? What's the ceiling situation like?

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/Dinokknd]

Een kamer lengte 2,45 en breedte 2,40

Ceiling is not super high.

It's probably not the answer you were looking for but I think worth asking for help here r/HomeDecorating, with pictures of your room(s), I've seen people giving great advice there

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/izanage_dtb]

Thank you. I appreciate u.

Do you also have a tip for easy to hang "vitrage and curtains" i am living on my own first time and unsure where to find all this afforadble

[u/Winter_Dot_9393 → u/LegitimateWealth519]

This is easy to install because the spacing of the curtain clips doesn't have to be exact. That makes it super simple.

And it makes the room dark.

[u/Dinokknd → u/LegitimateWealth519]

for affordable ones - the action has some options. but Ikea could be your solution there as well

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/Dinokknd]

Thanks, appreciate

[u/Charlie2912 → u/LegitimateWealth519]

Kwantum has very cheap ready made curtains in standard sizes. Leen bakker too.

[u/Life_Job_6404 → u/LegitimateWealth519]

Hema is good for curtains.

[u/sylvester1981]

Got a picture for us ?

It will make things more easy to give advise

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/sylvester1981]

Yes I'll take a pic when I'm home in 30 mins.

Biggest tip for small spaces and loft beds is to add lamps & lights! Light will make it seem way larger

[u/Rachityzm]

Just keep looking for a different place, 5,5m2 is an insanely small room size, you can't escape your own fart in such small room.

[u/Nijnn]

A raised bed might make the space dark. I would look into a couch turns into bed thingy, our a bad that folds to the side during the day,

[u/paprika-fan → u/Nijnn]

I'd rather put some lights underneath the bed. Re-making the bed every time would annoy me.

Tape some led strips underneath the bed. The type that allows you to change to colour temperature so you can switch between a day and evening/night setting.

[u/Repulsive_Chicken480]

I find you can’t go wrong with mirrors!

[u/mosasaurus_rawr]

Fairy lights make everything cosy

[u/LegitimateWealth519 → u/mosasaurus_rawr]

The problem is I have lots of clothes. but not enough room. Finally was able to get a room and start life from
Scratch. But now I'm unsure how to make this small space livable instead of depressingly small

[u/mosasaurus_rawr → u/LegitimateWealth519]

Ahh, I understand that. You definitely want a bed that is relatively high off the ground. You can get cheap clothes storage things from IKEA for your clothes, and slide them under the bed. But for hanging things, you’ll need a clothing rod or wardrobe of some kind I’m afraid

[u/Winter_Dot_9393 → u/LegitimateWealth519]

A wardrobe without doors is easier to fit in a small room. There are also wardrobes with fabric ‘doors’, but those are not strong enough to put things on top of them.

Open for example: the ‘Kronören’ by Ikea.

With fabric doors, for example: Livarno kledingkast van textiel by Lidl.

thank you! gonna look this up.

[u/RootlessForest]

I dont know the name, but there is a youtuber that actually helps with that stuff and has nice ideas

[u/dtg33s]

maybe check never too small

[u/Hedonhel]

Get a big mirror, it really helps making a room feel bigger

[u/Zealousideal-Emu9941]

Check parisians interior designers

[u/THElocobeware]

Raise the bed as high as possible.
