However, having crowded rooms filled with multiple decorations might be too overwhelming.
It would also make your room look messy and unorganized which is the opposite of what we want.
Minimalist style rooms are based on minimal decorations that are cheap but look very modern like.
Thus, you don’t have to overdo your decorations with multiple stuff like paper garlands, dream catchers or even polaroids.
Although having this stuff might make your room look pretty, it will make your room look over decorated especially if you have a small room.
Instead, just put up a small metal grid on your bedside table, or on your desk to put up your pictures instead of lining up your polaroids all over your wall.
With these small decors, you will have the ideal minimalist style bedroom that you’d want.

On the other hand, sometimes when you’ve rearranged your furniture, it’ll give that fresh feeling.
As if you’re different in some way. It is a really healthy way for you when you feel like you need a new start.

There is nothing wrong with having small rooms as long as you know how to decorate it to make it look spacious and not crowded.
By knowing the size, you will know what will fit and what will not when it comes to furnishing your bedroom. Sometimes, when going furniture shopping, we tend to be unprepared and just buy stuff that we think will make our room look good.
