Easy Design

Interior Design Help – my bedroom is very long and narrow, feels imbalanced, how do I decorate/place furniture?

Hi, I live in a cabin that has long narrow bedrooms built into the side of the main structure. The room I sleep in is very long and narrow, and has a small window looking out on the long wall facing outside. I don’t know what I can do to balance out the room, especially with a queen size bed that takes up the entire length of the short wall – leaving about 2 feet for a small bedside table. Any ideas to make it more cozy and feel less like a hallway? If I can figure out how to send a pic I will – and if you help I will make sure to give you ten points!!! Much appreciated…

Divide and conquer is the trick to making a large space cozy. Working to section it off sometimes something as simple as a folding screen at the bottom of your bed will do that for you. Or move the bed further into the room put the screen behind the bed and put your desk behind it. Large bold prints help – along with large scattered decorative pieces. Make one section with seating – love seat and sofa table or 2 rockers or easy chairs facing.

Another suggestion is 1 long or 2 tall bookcases placed on the short walls as dividers. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/inspiration/inspiration-using-a-bookcase-as-a-room-divider-080938 best to have them open back to allow light through.
