How does bedding impact how big or small a bedroom feels?

Bedding plays a huge part in how big or small a bedroom feels, says Max Guidon , interior designer. ‘In a bedroom, the bed is the main focal point. Selecting a beautiful bed is very important, but we should remember the bedding. Bedding will have a significant role in the design of any room since it’s one of the most exposed surfaces attracting most of our attention. The selection of the bedding can have a significant impact on how the room looks and feels.’

What colors make a small bedroom look bigger?

When decorating a bedroom, picking lighter colors is an obvious go-to to help it look bigger as well as help make the space more relaxing. Alternatively, you may want to consider color-drenching the space in a darker shade, painting the ceiling the same shade to help blur the confines of the room and make it appear taller.
