The room in the apartment that is supposed to be the bedroom is not always ideal, but don’t give up – let’s try to work with what we have.

If your room is too long and narrow, then creating a comfortable bedroom in it can be difficult, but it is possible, ADVICE.NEWS confidently states.

Here are some things you should try.

Furniture placement

The best furniture arrangement is to place the bed along one of the shorter walls, which helps create a sense of balance and visually expand the room.

Avoid placing the bed along long walls as this may emphasize the narrowness of the room.

Lighting fixtures

Use proper lighting to make the room cozy and inviting.

A combination of ambient lighting, such as ceiling or wall lights, and task lighting, such as bedside lamps, can help.

Mirrors

Hang mirrors to create the illusion of more space.

Placing a large mirror on one of the long walls can visually expand the room and reflect light, making it feel more open.

In addition, mirrors can become a decorative element of your bedroom.

If it's decor, then it's minimalist.

Opt for a minimalist approach to decor to avoid cluttering the space.

Use simple and subtle decorations to keep the room feeling open, in addition to a few key pieces of furniture and a neutral color scheme to create a clean and calming environment.

Windows

Choose light and airy window frames to let natural light into the room. Avoid heavy or dark curtains, which can make the space feel smaller.

Sheer curtains or blinds can provide privacy while still maintaining a sense of openness.

Visual dividers

If you have a long room, you can create a visual division to make it feel cozier.

Partitions such as folding screens or tall plants are suitable for this purpose to separate the sleeping area from other functional areas such as a study or sitting area.
