She recommends maximizing a room's visual space by minimizing details. <b>Ammie's Tip:</b> Don't fill the room with unnecessary items or let it become overly decorated with fussy window treatments or a plethora of busy patterns.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628748511820251570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxDMO4xtNilyK-yQfstLCbff0uJUfvFcnOMiqSy3netYuVmBc9II9kvJTJgI9IEiwijdADflmc1VXtr7gk-UohXfjl1zlcIAJt8RPxo9yhYSK9XIfHCkyYdsUwL5TUaLLaOMKTZkqLsM/s400/bedroom-tips-decorating-ideas-2011-3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><br /><b style="color: #ff9900; font-weight: bold;">Mirrored Reflection:</b> Make a tight bedroom feel open and spacious with properly placed mirrors. Designer Erinn Valencich disguised closet doors with massive mirrors to visually double the space in this bedroom. <br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628748173207258082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPAXjM2Nkftb9b-0XfKzbXRz8024F50nxlxX2rvp7BemTOPIx1UHXYSZCkWDxDGdARuI7UGpmu50D8ArBl16Y-D4VPE3usK0svxM8wMPBNBDwfoR2it0hgFvQaTTGTIGnYPISwtNhUUes/s400/bedroom-tips-decorating-ideas-2011-2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><br /><b style="color: #ff9900;">Think Outside the Box:</b> With unusually angled walls, this bedroom made space planning difficult. Rather than have a custom rug created to fit the space, which would also emphasize the room's angle, designer Ammie Kim opted to showcase the hardwood floors. <b>Ammie's Tip:</b> Sometimes it's good not to have a rug under the bed: it creates spaciousness.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628747658493089538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLZaacp2WYvB3OnclDAYDNJvIC0pktpVh_aoXFVJ3OxBa2U8FxraP8_SdNLv1FIzAeSj8BgMxSACSiyenVp_sXBqWaj0_hX090EeBGack3Nlp_lBmf-ONLE0yVjS97jEUJN4n-nv4b3A/s400/bedroom-tips-decorating-ideas-2011.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><br /><b style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Divide and Conquer</span>:</b> A long and narrow bedroom can be a challenge. Designer Angelo Surmelis created two distinct spaces: a cozy bed area and a separate entertainment area just for relaxing. <b>Angelo's Tip:</b> Create multiple functional zones in a large room for a hotel suite-like feel
