When you’re working with a small space, every part of decorating it can feel like a big challenge. From choosing colors and furniture to arranging it, the ideas feel limited and the task daunting. But in my experience, limited square footage can inspire some of the most beautiful and creative decorating ideas.

Small bedrooms can seem like some of the biggest challenges because you already know a bed is going to take up a large amount of space. You don’t want it to feel like all bed and no room, or at least if it does, that it does so stylishly. There are some really easy tricks to make a small bedroom feel cozy rather than cramped and be big on style even if it isn’t big on space.
