Know Measurements

A kingsize bed is how wide? A standard Kingsize Jersey Divan measures 150cm (5ft) wide and 200cm long.

If you’re opting for a kingsize upholstered bed, like our Kingsize Iona Bed, where the head and foot boards are attached as one unit, you’ll find it longer than a divan. The difference explains the scroll work and the deeper headboard and footboard.

Research should be done with your room’s measurements in mind because a reputable upholstery or bed-making company will post the measurements of their beds on their website.

King Bed In A Small Room How To Decorate

To draw attention, place the emphasis on the headboard’s height or width.

In order to fool yourself into thinking that your room is wider or taller than you think, emphasize the height of your room by installing a striking vertical headboard – Something like the Kingsize Taransay and Kingsize Tiree Headboards easily accomplish this with their contemporary columnar designs. You can also personalize them both with the fabric of your choice.

Thinking horizontally is a good idea (after all, we’re talking about beds!) the With its side-to-side rows, the Kingsize Orkney Headboard emphasizes width.

Position Bed

You have to work with the space you have when you have a small bedroom. Setting up your bed next to or next to the window is one way to accomplish this. Remove the headboard to make sure you aren’t obstructing any views or natural light. Installing a curtain rod that spans the entire width of the bed will give the appearance of more space. After hanging the curtains, the bed will be framed in a way that draws the eye upward, creating the appearance of a larger room.

Apply Vertical Space

There won’t be much floor space available in a bedroom with a king bed. The best way to create some much-needed space is by using your walls. Utilizing sconces is one way to achieve this. A great way to clear the area around your bed of clutter and free up space on your bedside table is to install lighting fixtures on the wall.

To make the most of your space, you should also think about using shelving. Due to their excellent storage and decorative capabilities, every bedroom should have at least one set of shelves. To make the room appear larger, buy free-standing wall shelves and install them all the way up to the ceiling. Paint the shelves the same color as the walls. You can have built-in shelves specially made if you want to go above and beyond on a tighter budget.

Create A Focal Point With A Statement Headboard

Going BIG with a wow factor focal point in a small space is the way to go; in small spaces, drama, drama, drama is the name of the game. A tall headboard will also draw the eye upwards, giving the impression of added height. For a fun weekend project, you could always try a DIY headboard?

Martin Waller, founder, Andrew Martin(opens in new tab), says: ‘The more time we spend at home and the more we value the space, the more care and attention we will give to our bedrooms. In order to add personality to a space, we should avoid using artwork in the bedroom and instead look to elaborate headboards. A more eccentric style can only add character, so don’t be afraid to go for it.’

Tom St. Quintin, bed buyer at Furniture Village(opens in new tab), says: ‘Working with a smaller space requires finding a balance between the size of the room and the size of the bed frame. If you want a king-size bed frame but have limited space, consider getting one with a tall headboard. This will draw the eye upward and hide any areas that might appear a little cramped.

“Alternately, frame the bed with a more neutral headboard set against a striking patterned wallpaper to create the illusion of height with a striking pattern or bright color. The bed can take center stage in a small room thanks to tactile furnishings like cushions and throws that will create a luxurious atmosphere.’ See more about Largest Bed In The World

Reflect The Light With Mirrors

Using mirror ideas and mirrored furniture in a small bedroom is a fantastic way to draw in more light and ‘enlarge’ the space.

For added interest, introduce on-trend organic shapes into the mix with the Asymmetric Mirror(opens in new tab), from H&M Home.

Abbie Ireland, director at Patrick Ireland Frames(opens in new tab), says: ‘Utilizing a reflective surface like a mirror is one of the best ways to make a space feel larger. Mirrors can be used in a bedroom in a variety of ways. Choose custom-made mirrors that are made to fit the space from floor to ceiling if there is room on the wall on either side of the bed. A bigger mirror on the wall opposite a window is another option; in addition to reflecting light and giving your bedroom a luxurious finish, they give the impression of a larger space.’

Mirrors are intriguing artistic forms because of the way they play with depth, reflection, reality, and illusion, according to Waller. When deciding where to put a mirror, consider what you want it to reflect: through a mirror, you can see your favorite artwork from an unexpected corner of the room; hang one opposite a window to let in more light; or place one in a hallway as a doorway to the next room’s surprises. Larger is always preferable to add more light and space to a space, and, like jewelry, spend more on a mirror as it can instantly elevate a space to a luxurious state.’

“Less is more” is Bradley’s advice for decorating small spaces. Avoid clogging the space and give the interiors room to breathe. The eye is deceived into thinking a space is larger than it actually is by using mirrors to reflect light. The better, the bigger!’

Or utilize metallic paint to achieve the same result! Justyna Korczynska, senior designer at Crown(opens in new tab), says: ‘To add shine and reflection and breathe life into a space, try painting over a matt emulsion with metallic paint.’

Choose Multifunctional Furniture

Make your furniture work harder for you by choosing pieces with flexible, dual, or multi-functional designs that seriously prioritize efficiency in terms of saving space.

A further decorating tip for a small bedroom, according to Anderson, is to choose pieces of furniture that have multiple uses. For instance, you might decide on a bed with built-in storage drawers or a headboard with shelves or cabinets. There are also pieces of bedroom furniture that serve as seating, like ottomans with secret storage.’

Waller says: ‘Add a vintage trunk at the end of your bed for a clothes storage idea that creates extra wardrobe space or bed linen storage.’
