Sure, a sprawling primary bedroom with enough space for a chaise lounge, a fireplace, and enough storage for an entire family sounds lovely, but not everyone has the luxury of space. The truth is, small primary bedrooms can look just as chic and function just as well if you know how to decorate them to their full potential. After all, don't they say that the best things come in small packages? We turned to our favorite interior designers' projects for 21 small bedroom ideas to transform your space.

01 Choose Warm Walls

Small bedrooms with scant natural light typically look better and cozier with warm walls, like this NYC bedroom by interior designer Tali Roth. These tones allow you to feel more relaxed and can make the room appear a little larger. For a dramatic, sophisticated vibe, try embracing dim lighting and painting your walls a deep, warmer shade.

02 Add Built-In Bookcases

Petite bedrooms are often low in storage space. If you can, maximize your wall space by adding built-in bookcases with both open and closed shelving. It can work both functionally and aesthetically.

03 Purchase Greenery

Even if you're opting for a neutral monochrome palette, a bit of greenery can do wonders to your space by bringing the outside in and adding visual interest. Where you'd like your plants to live will determine the best type to display, as some plants thrive in direct sunlight and vice versa. Try plants that are low maintenence and place them in neutral or decorative pots to add to the charm.

04 Try All-White Tones

Colors can do wonders for a space, but can sometimes make a room feel closed off and overwhelming. An all-white color palette is a surefire way to make your small primary bedroom appear wider, especially if the space is light-drenched. Layer tonal soft furnishings to enhance the airy and open effect.

05 Use Mood Lighting

Your bedroom should be a place where you feel relaxed and the rest of the world fades away. A great trick to achieving the ultimate moody and cozy space is ensuring that your lighting is layered and soft. Paper shades achieve this effect beautifully.

06 Try a Four-Poster Bed

Contrary to popular belief, a four-poster or canopy bed looks great in a small space. Why? Because it draws the eye up, pulling attention away from the width and length of the space.

07 Use White Bedding

As for the furnishings, you'll want to keep textures and patterns simple. Opt for an all-white bed linen selection to adorn the bed with. Then add in a few natural textures like warm wood to layer into the space.

08 Embrace Soft Textures

Go out of your way to blend different aspects of your room together to create a cohesive effect. A low bed with loads of tone-on-tone soft textures will blur the lines between the bed and floor, creating an infinity effect. It'll make your space appear more expansive.

09 Add a Floor-Length Mirror

If you want to give the impression of a larger space, mirrors are the perfect solution. If you have the room, get a floor-length mirror and lean it against the wall to create the illusion of depth. However, you can also work with a smaller mirror on the wall to create a similar effect.

10 Let in Natural Light

Privacy is important, but if you have the ability, let in as much natural light as possible. Getting sheer curtains, or even opting to go bare altogether, is a great way to bring the outside world in and give your room a spacious feel. If you happen to have a view, you can incorporate that as well.
