There is no need to add drama to this bedroom because the Hooker Furniture Bedroom Auberose King Panel Bed is THE drama itself.
Are you tired of resorting to paint when it comes to updating the look of your home? You’re right. There’s a lot more to interior design or remodeling than just having another fresh coat of paint. If you’ve been too bored inside your bedroom lately, then it’s high time to add a little drama to it.
Punch Things Up with Wall Treatments and Colorful Flooring
Okay, forget about the cans of paint for now. Instead, try thinking outside of the box. One extraordinary way to set up a dramatic bedroom is to have a rustic wood wall installed. Extend this beauty up to the ceiling to create a modern yet rustic room.
These boards can be barn boards that are nailed onto the drywall where the headboard is supposed to be. Just be sure to balance all the rustic elements with chic modernism so that the room won’t create tension.
This design will surely work if you provide ample lighting. Your bedroom must have a terrace-facing window or a bay window if you want to animate this space. Add some pendant and recessed lighting fixtures. These will help play up the wood treatment that you just set up.
To cap this look, have the wall behind the headboard painted light gray. This should make the wood treatment pop and be the accent wall that you dreamt of for your new, dramatic bedroom.
Another unique way to dramatize your bedroom is to have the flooring installed with hand-painted tiles. Ceramic tiles are best especially the ones that have geometric patterns on them. Have the tiles cover the entire bedroom flooring so that the entire space is unified.
Connect the rest of the design by basing the color palette on the colors that are seen on the hand-painted tiles. This look also works well if you have the kind of bedroom double door that opens inwards. Add furnishings that will enhance the space and not compete with the already exciting design.
You can also install huge mirrors that have brass or chrome frames. Add crystal lighting fixtures to add glamour to your bedroom.
Feature walls are not limited to painted ones or those that have decorative boards. You can also integrate a storage space where the usual decorative wall would be.
With this, you can have a wall treatment that will double as a storage unit. Find the right dresser drawers to place on either side of your bed.
Faux Fireplace
Where a bedroom fireplace is missing, you can always build one. This fake feature can be Moroccan-inspired so that you will have many dramatic nights to share with your loved one. At times, all it takes is just the right paint job to fake this feature. Just tape of the area then paint a contrasting color and voila, you’re done.
Of Tapestries, Rugs, and Mirrors
You can also cover a large part of your bedroom wall with a rug or an interesting fabric. The most dramatic tapestries can make a room look more sophisticated.
Buy the biggest mirror that you can find then lean it against the wall. This will surely create a major statement inside your bedroom. This mirror will reflect a huge amount of natural light during the day and ambient lighting at night.
Now Let’s Paint
Okay, now get those paint cans that you set aside when you first read this because it’s time to add some graphic patterns onto the walls. This accent wall will surely pack a punch without eating up much of your time.
To make this project simpler, just paint black and white stripes and your bedroom is sure to become more dramatic and glamorous.

Veer away from anything rectangular or squarish as they take up more space. Here is a piece that will fit right into your tiny home – the Rachael Ray Home by Legacy Classic Furniture Living Room Cocktail Table Round 6020-501. d
Would you want to have a show-stopping space no matter how small it is? Now you can. Know that there is also an upside to living in a small space. You pay lower rent, you live closer to the downtown areas, plus it becomes easier to achieve a cozy appeal in your home.
One of the leading misconceptions when it comes to tiny space living is to focus only on functionality. You won’t have to worry about giving up on design just because you have a small home. Being short on space doesn’t have to mean that you will fall short on style.
It’s All About Balance
Achieving correct balance between functionality and style should be your goal. Focus on having your home filled with stuff that will fit your needs while also highlighting aesthetics.
To begin, learn to delineate different areas. At first, it may seem that open space layout is the only way to go, however, this could overwhelm you in the long run. Imagine not being able to define where one area begins and where one ends.
Try to define all the separate areas. Provide a specific purpose for each area. As simple as a shoe rack could serve as the door from the entryway to the living room. You can also use a buffet between the dining room and the kitchen. This is not just a storage unit, it can also serve as the divider for those areas.
If you are enamored by a particular hobby or interest, don’t hesitate to display them. In fact, they should be able to play a key role in having spaces separated. In fact, even potted plants can be used to signify a change in space usage.
Furniture with Dual Purpose
When you’re dealing with a very small space, you have to learn to use every inch and make the most out of it. Invest in furniture that have a double duty. Focus on having pieces that have multi-purposes.
Find a sofa that can unfold as a trundle bed in the evening. A hollow ottoman can be both a storage unit and a seat. You can also have a dining table with built-in leaf which will open when you’re out to entertain more guests.
Whichever furniture that has dual purpose that you can use, use it. Find pieces that are size-appropriate, though, as overstuffed pieces will only make your space look a lot smaller.
Search for Unused Spaces
It may be easy to get stuck in a rut when you’re in a small space. Be able to use your space in the most effective manner, hey, it’s about time.
Look for these unused areas in your cute home. Find the dead spaces that do not have a purpose at the moment. Find blank walls, windowsills, corners and nooks that have remained unused for so long.
Place a basket or two on top of the refrigerator or have a corner shelf set up.
Go Up, Not Sideways
When planning to use space optimally, it is important that you plan vertically. Narrow and tall storage systems are the best pieces to use especially when you want to get the most out of a tiny space.
Place two tall bookshelves on either side of the main doorway. This will give the area a built-in sort of look. A large entertainment system can both serves as a divider and a storage/display unit for the living and dining rooms.
Organize
Storage is the key to living effectively in a small home. Invest in organizers that will help you in keeping track of your home and the rest of your life. Think of shoe hangers or corner shoe shelves. Back of the door pockets will also serve a lot of purpose.
See, design drama is still possible even in a tiny space.
