How to Decorate a Small Bedroom With a Glass Door
Create an attractive, functional bedroom, even if the space available to you is tiny. One of the challenges of decorating a small bedroom is storage. Utilize the space available inside a closet, beneath the bed and on the walls whenever possible. If the bedroom has a glass door, increase the privacy in the room by covering the door with paint, fabric, or vinyl. It’s not necessary to block the light from the room while blocking the view inside the space. Does this Spark an idea?

Paint the walls in the small bedroom in a soothing green, light blue, beige, yellow or another light color that will brighten the space. Dark colors on the walls tend to enclose a space; light colors make the room seem larger.

2
Maximize the space in the small bedroom by installing a single bed, a loft-style bed, a set of bunk beds or a day bed. Depending on the size of the room, a double bed may also work.

Cover the glass door with a curtain that coordinates with the window curtains. To avoid losing the light that the door may offer, but still create privacy, paint the glass door with stained glass paint. Certain stained glass paint is applied vertically, so it’s not necessary to remove the door to cover the glass with translucent color or shimmering white paint. A vinyl window decal is a removable alternative to covering the glass door. Vinyl decals are available from online retailers in a variety of sizes, scenes and styles.

Place a small dresser in the closet, if possible, to minimize the need for furnishings within the small room. If the closet is too small to contain a dresser, opt for shelves inside the closet to hold folded clothing. If a dresser in the room is a must, place it on the wall opposite the bed in order to balance the heavy objects in the room.

Add bold colors or small-patterned fabrics through curtains, linens, rugs and throw pillows. Hardwood flooring makes a small room seem larger, but if your bedroom has carpeting, a throw rug can enhance and unify the colors in the room.

6
Minimize the size of other necessary furnishings. Place a single small nightstand beside the bed. If you require additional seating, fit one comfortable chair or a small desk with a straight-back chair that fits beneath the desktop.

7
Hang a mirror above the dresser or place a full length mirror opposite the window to maximize the light entering the small bedroom and open up the space.

8
Utilize vertical space for storage by hanging shelves on the walls. Free-floating shelves take up less space than cabinet storage.
