The character and needs of the owner determine the interior. A bedroom intended for one person will definitely acquire a male or female face in the same style.

Hi-tech, minimalism, and constructivism are popular today.
Having become traditional for small spaces, they are universal for both sexes of any age. Such interiors can be called basic, because they are practical, orderly, laconic, harmonious, functional, modern, cozy.

For people who value raw, textured materials and are inspired by interiors a la warehouse/garage with open communications, a bedroom in the loft, modern, avant-garde, and techno styles is suitable. Contrast is the basis of such compositions:
- minimum things - maximum free space;
- the solidity of the furniture – its mobility;
- rough, massive decoration of walls and ceilings - delicate, bright textiles;
- a large bed as the main object of the interior - large windows, false windows, partitions.
The color scheme of these styles - blue, metallic, red - will not suit everyone's taste. Street motifs in the bedroom are also the prerogative of a narrow circle of people.

A free, fresh, light interior will be presented in Mediterranean, Scandinavian, eco styles.
The blue, green, white colors of these settings, in which the caressing wind, sea breeze, whisper of foliage, transparency of waterfalls and coldness of the mountains shine through, will make the interior calm and strict.
Against this background, ethnic motifs look good: original accessories, pieces of furniture, paintings.

The atmosphere of the east in the bedroom is attractive and romantic. You can achieve it by combining bright colors and geometric shapes. A circle and a square, when combined, form a whimsical ornament, perfect for square rooms.

If you have a weakness for a classic interior, which cannot be fully created on 14 m², then use a luxurious chandelier, a massive chest of drawers and an armchair.
Each style dictates its own color scheme. Let's see which combinations will be the most winning.
Decor and scenery
In a room as small as a bedroom with an area of only 14 square meters, a passion for decorating can lead to an uncomfortable cluttering of space. However, often the presence of certain items added as purely aesthetic components is simply necessary. It is important that these items look quite pragmatic or fit into the overall decor of the room.

If you are decorating your bedroom in the style of Asian minimalism, then a fabric screen can look very harmonious in such an interior. However, it can also fit well into the Mediterranean design motifs of the room.
Color design
Use warm colors for rooms facing north, and cool colors for rooms facing south.
For the bedroom, it is recommended to choose light, pastel shades that have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, soothe, help you relax, and fall asleep.
But all people are different. There are those who find pale, calm tones irritating and depressing. Therefore, there is no need to talk about the universality of color combinations. There is only an individual approach here!

Separate room
If this is a separate room in an apartment, then its design needs to be approached from a practical point of view. It must have all the necessary furniture, have enough free space for movement and be suitable for its purpose, without combining two zones.
It is better to decorate the room in a single style, without mixing them together. Any options are possible here - from high-tech, which is minimalist in itself, to a complex baroque or classical style.
Glass and mirrors will visually expand the space, and cool shades of walls and textiles will fill the room with pleasant coolness.
Bedroom furniture 14 m²
Having decided on the style and color design of the bedroom, we will implement the furniture. The simplest solution is furniture with the correct outlines and lines.
The shape of the room is of great importance in the selection of furniture and its arrangement in the bedroom. In terms of ergonomics, it is best to order the manufacture of furniture, taking into account the width and height of the walls.
In a rectangular room, furniture should fill the wall space as much as possible without eating up the width.
However, furniture production is guided by modern trends in the construction and layout of apartments. Therefore, it is possible to buy ready-made furniture for standardized smart apartments.
It is a mistake to think that you need to look for compact items for a small room. Let's shift the emphasis:
- We are looking for functional, technologically advanced furniture that can visually enlarge a modest space;
- we will transform furnishings into works of art that will embody stunning design ideas;
- combine furniture (wardrobe and bedside tables, for example);
- use a window sill instead of a table: install a wide tabletop and set up a workplace here.

Smart Style
Let's not forget that the main thing in the bedroom is the feeling of comfort and intimacy. To create and maintain these sensations in a small bedroom of a modern smart apartment, following the simple rules that we have outlined in this article. Correctly assessing the shape of the room, choosing furniture, distributing light and not overdoing it with decorations - these are four conditions that, when met, will allow you to create a stylish and comfortable smart bedroom space in a smart apartment.

Bed or sofa
In the bedroom, the central place is occupied by the bed. Aesthetically, it should fit into the overall concept of the interior; practically it should become a place for complete relaxation for the owners. Therefore, choosing a bed is not an easy task.
The purchased model must be correctly positioned in the room, remembering that every square meter is important:
- In a square room, the bed does not need to be pushed close to the wall; place it in the middle.
- The head of the bed is traditionally directed towards the wall so that the residents can freely approach it, each from their own side. In this case there are also two bedside tables, as well as lamps. Thus, no one bothers anyone, does not climb over the other to their side, and does not disturb anyone when necessary to go out or read.
- The bed can be placed with the head of the bed facing the window. This is a good option for oblong rooms. Located in some layouts opposite the entrance to the bedroom, the bed does not always look good. But sleepers are not disturbed by the light from the window, and fresh air is the key to a sound sleep.

- In a narrow rectangular room, place the bed along the wall to provide a comfortable passage through the room. If you are worried that this will make the space seem even more elongated, we advise you to resort to zoning the room with a partition or shelving. This way you will divide the “pencil case” into the treasured squares.

- A good model would be a bed with side shelves. Then the need to purchase bedside tables will disappear, which will have a positive effect on the footage.

An alternative to stationary furniture is a lifting structure, in which a double bed is retracted into a wall niche during the daytime. In this case, the bed linen and mattress do not need to be put in the closet - everything is secured with belts and hidden in a niche. For a small room that can serve as more than just a bedroom, this is a very good solution.

Wardrobe
A storage system in the bedroom is essential. A wardrobe with mirrored doors is ideal. It is roomy, takes up little space, and can adapt to the interior, becoming invisible. By organizing a niche in the wall, you can store things there without purchasing a cabinet. In a square-shaped bedroom, a wardrobe system located on both sides of the bed and above it along the wall will balance the interior and make it solid.

Zoning options
Competent planning begins with zoning:
- Sleeping area. The key point is the bed. Of course, future users choose it based on their preferences.
- Storage system. Integrated cabinets can help with this issue.
- Work/rest area. If the living space does not have a study area or the bathroom is too small, then this area will provide a place to relax. Ideally, it would be great if the bedroom was combined with a living room or loggia.
One zone can be separated from another by color, light shelving or a table.
Lighting
The bedroom is the place where we meet the sunrise and see off the sunset. That's why natural light is rare here.
Artificial lighting should be:
- unobtrusive,
- soft,
- create an intimate atmosphere.

Convenience of the location of switches is a priority here. If there is central lighting in the form of a chandelier, then a switch is needed not only at the entrance to the room, but also at the bed.
A chandelier is not a necessary component of a bedroom. Instead, you can use LED spotlights and various combinations of ceiling lamps.
Sconces at the headboard/night lights on bedside tables are an integral part of the interior.

Lighting is required in the dressing area/closet, in the work area, in the make up area. Neon bed lighting, fluorescent paints on the walls, mirror/TV/painting lighting are suitable as decorative lighting.

Accents in the interior
To prevent the interior from becoming boring, you can periodically change any accessories in bright colors. But there should be very few of them and they should not be large. These could be sofa cushions, small vases or figurines, funny little things and trinkets.
Curtains, a blanket on a bed or sofa, or a panel on the wall can also serve as a bright accent. Niche-shelves with lighting in the wall look very impressive, on which you can place books, necessary items, or just memorable souvenirs.
Such shelves can also solve the problem of evening lighting, when you don’t want to light the central chandelier. A volumetric panel made using a special mass and painted to match the color of the walls will also look unusual and luxurious.
