3×4 bedroom: how to furnish it while optimising comfort and style

When spaces are not particularly large, in fact, it is not so easy to succeed in combining comfort, functionality and style in a balanced manner, and there is the risk of falling into banal errors that make the final result unpleasant. In these cases, the key to a well realised project lies in essentiality, the ability to optimise space and the careful choice of furniture and decoration. In this guide we would like to provide you with several tips for furnishing a space with very common measurements in modern flats, i.e. a 3×4 bedroom.

Obviously, the focal point of a 3×4 bedroom will be the bed, which can be chosen either as a double bed, thus maintaining the typical dimensions of this element, or as a one and a half bed, if you wish to recover a few centimetres and have a lighter visual effect. The choice of a designer bed can enhance the surrounding environment with clean, linear shapes and colours that fit well into the context. In terms of optimising space, it is always advisable to prefer a light headboard and perhaps opt for a container bed with integrated storage space, which also allows the space under the bed itself to be used for storing duvets, sheets and other bulky objects.

Elements that can never be lacking in the room dedicated to resting are wardrobes, which given their size can be difficult to place in a 3×4 room. By choosing a tall and narrow wardrobe, it is possible to save space in width, taking advantage of the vertical space, perhaps opting for wardrobes with sliding doors that also reduce the space required when they are opened. There are various models of wardrobes of this type on the market, ideal precisely for those who do not have large available spaces but do not intend to renounce the usefulness of a piece of furniture that can hold clothes, accessories and much more.

Finally, consider the addition of other important furnishing elements, such as design bed side tables or shelves positioned at the sides of the bed, useful for placing table lamps, clocks or books, and a possible desk to be used for study or work. In the first case, the most popular advice from interior design experts is to prefer suspended elements, which give the room a more airy look, while as far as the insertion of a table is concerned, it will be possible to choose between long and narrow desks and consoles, perhaps extendable, which are not so bulky when not in use.

What can make the difference between an anonymous room and a stylish one is a wise use of decorations and colours. Precisely because a 3×4 bedroom does not offer much freedom of choice in the composition of furnishings, the trick to creating a truly personal ambience is to choose additional elements wisely, without creating confusion. Maximum attention is therefore paid to the choice of furnishings, so that they fit perfectly into the context.

With regard to decorations, for example, these are essential to give an extra touch to the entire room, but they must not be excessive and visually weigh down the space. Mirrors can give depth and breadth, especially if strategically placed to reflect natural light and create a feeling of openness, just as a rug can add colour without taking away useful space, while purely decorative furnishings risk taking away air: better to have few accessories, but of quality and which also have a practical function.

Interesting effects can then be achieved through the use of materials and colours, which can be used, for example, to create elegant contrasts between walls, furniture and bed linen, creating a perception of greater spaciousness but also personality. Depending on one’s taste, it will be possible to opt for a minimalist, contemporary or neo-classical style, as long as a stylistic coherence is always maintained with all the other elements in the room.

Finally, to add a dynamic and original touch to the 3×4 bedroom, wall decoration should not be underestimated. It can add style to the room without affecting the actual square footage. Paintings, photographs, or even a wall with patterned wallpaper can be interesting choices to embellish the room.

A 3×4 bedroom certainly cannot be defined as a large room, however, even in a small space like this it is possible to realise very stylish and, at the same time, extremely functional projects. Everything revolves around the choice of the right elements with which to furnish the room and organise the space: in a bedroom with 3 and 4 metre sides, it is in fact possible to insert all the essential furnishings, such as the double bed, wardrobe and bedside tables, taking care however to choose solutions that do not make the room too heavy.

Then, by playing with colours, materials, decorations and useful complements, it is possible to obtain very interesting effects capable of fully expressing the personality of those who live in the home and of enhancing every centimetre impeccably.
