Not all homes come with dreamy, spacious bedrooms like the ones in magazines. Sometimes, all you get is a nook! If your room is more diminutive than deluxe, there’s still plenty you can do to open up the room, using the space to its fullest. Keep reading for three top tips from the interior design team at Furniture Classics, a downtown Anchorage destination for quality, American-made bedroom furniture, and interior design services.

Here are three smart ways to make a small bedroom into a luxurious retreat: 

• Choose a Focal Point: When decorating a small space, you should always begin by identifying the room’s focal point, like a large window, and placing your furniture to support the central point, not draw the eye away from it. If your room does not have a natural focal point, you can easily create one! Try choosing a bed frame with a beautiful headboard and placing a cluster of art on the wall above it.
• Select Size-Appropriate Pieces: While a dramatic wooden bed with a canopy can make a dramatic statement in the right room, it can overwhelm a small space. Selecting size-appropriate home furniture you can see through, such as a wrought iron bed frame, creates the illusion of a larger space. A solid wood footboard might appear to slice the room in half.  
• Enlist an Expert: If you’re feeling at a loss as to decorating a small bedroom, an interior designer can help lead the way. Using expert knowledge of home furniture, decor, and styling techniques, an interior designer can show you how to bring a small space to life. They can also choose or advise on what types of furnishings you should invest. The interior design team at Furniture Classics would be pleased to assist you as you bring your personal style to your private hideaway.
