Bedroom Decoration Ideas for Indian Homes
12 setups Rooms Updated 2 Nov
Good bedroom decoration ideas start with the bed wall, because it is the first thing you see when you walk in and the last thing before you sleep. Get the headboard wall, bedding and lighting right and the rest of the room falls into place.
This page covers bed decoration, bedroom wall decoration ideas, small bedroom layouts and lighting and textiles. For special occasions in the bedroom, see anniversary decoration at home, and for lights see room light decoration.

Bedroom Decoration Ideas: Room Size Guide
| Room size | Bed | Wall feature | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 x 10 ft | Queen, no footboard | Paint or one hanging | Under bed, mirror wardrobe |
| 12 x 12 ft | Queen or king | Panel moulding or frames | Wardrobe plus dresser |
| 14 x 14 ft | King | Upholstered headboard wall | Wardrobe, seating corner |
Upholstered headboards and custom wardrobes cost the most. Paint, a good bedspread and warm lamps change the room for far less.

Many Indian flats have small bedrooms. Light colours, storage under the bed and wall mounted lights save space.

Woven baskets under the bed hide extra blankets and keep the floor clear and calm.
