I’m an interior designer and there are three things I’d never have in my bedroom, they instantly make it look titchy
AN INTERIOR designer has shared three things you don’t realise are making your bedroom look small.
The home décor expert also recommended the trendiest ways make it look like your small bedroom has much more space.
Brie Turton shared her tips in a TikTok video online.
She said: “Here are three things you might accidentally be doing that are making your bedroom look even smaller than it is and what to do instead according to me, an interior designer.”
Firstly Brie said bedheads actually make you bedroom look smaller.
The interior designer said: “Now, this seems counterintuitive because you want to create a really beautifully decorated space.”
“However, a bed head is taking up valuable room in a small bedroom.”
Brie said you should place some artwork above your bed instead of a bedhead.
“Instead, what I would do is add one or two pieces of art above the bed at bed height to create the illusion of a bed head without losing that valuable floor space.”
Secondly the interior designer says many people make the key mistake of removing rugs from their bedrooms.
She said: “Now, a lot of people think doing this is a great way to minimise clutter.”
“However, by taking away the rug, you are taking away that cosy feeling that every bedroom should have.”

Brie said you should keep your bedroom rug or even better trade it in for a larger one.
“What I recommend doing is having a rug that spans most of the floor because it makes it look small when you’re cutting the floor in half.”
“Meaning when you’ve got a rug that’s just a bit bigger than the bed, that’s what’s making things look small.”
“If you take it all the way out to the walls, you’re going to create the illusion of a carpet, and you’re not going to be chopping off the floor.”
Lastly Brie said you should never have a bedroom without wall art.
“This could be a harmless tactic of people thinking that they’re minimising clutter, but in fact, hanging things eye level and above is a great way to ensure our eyes move around the space and don’t just immediately fall down, making the space feel small.
“This goes for art. And also sheer curtains that I recommend hanging as close to the ceiling as you can, which are gonna make your ceilings feel higher and the room feel bigger.
