Another way to make your small bedroom look bigger is by using curtains to add dimension to your bedroom.

If your small bedroom is on the really small side and it can’t accommodate a nice and comfy bedroom chair, and your bed is close to the window in your bedroom, then you can utilize your bed space. 

Turn your bedroom from your regular bed to a day bed with throw pillows, and make it a place where you can relax while working or reading.
