    Is there a closet? This looks too small to be a bedroom.

    A bedroom must legally have an egress window.

    Push the bed against the wall so you can reach your closet, and use a wall mounted light next to the bed. Maybe you could add some sort of platform storage under the bed.

    You probably shouldn't post public photos of your illegal bedroom online...

    its not illegal, this is not in the US and it has a window on the top on the opposite side

    What about a pale lilac gray on the headboard wall so your white headboard reads out against it - leave the other walls white. Hang white framed art above the headboard - even a simple picasso graphic sketch poster could work there . . then, a slim bench at the foot of the bed. Custom open boxes (or premades) hung on the wall like a nightstand so you have a place for a glass of water . . look for plug in wall mount wall sconces for each side of the bed . . with the white and lilac, a galvinized exterior lantern could work well here - they are often substantially less than interior fixtures since people need them in multiples.

    Could you elevate the bed and create a desk area or storage under bed? Bunk bed type arrangement. I would be so claustrophobic in that space I couldn't stand it. A Murphy bed could be another idea.

    Assuming this is a bedroom for one person, I would push the bed against the wall to the right, leaving more space in front of closet on left. You might even be able to fit a small nightstand that way.

    agree with libradesigneye except that I'd push the bed against the right wall and put sconces with arms over the headboard, rather than to the side (since not symmetrical). you could also hang two pendants from the ceiling.

    alternatively, you could scoot the bed forward a little bit and build a ledge behind the headboard (or bury a narrow bookcase), which could hold two lamps and also take the place of a night stand for both people -- then you could place the bed against the wall or not, as you prefer.

    then bench at end, if you can find a narrow one. beyond that, the opposite end of the room can have a dresser or chair or whatever other furniture you need to have in there.

    I usually like a lot of art for cheer, but I think it will help this room feel less crowded to do just one piece of nice art over the headboard and leave the side wall more plain. you can always add something else nice at the far end.

    A few shelves and some art on the wall. You need a light source for reading. These work great. Get one that will fit onto your headboard.

    You know what will help that room feel not-so-small? A wall bed! That way, the space is a bedroom when you need it, and a home office/craft room/whatever you want during the day. Incorporating 2-3 functions is crucial when you're limited on space.

    Check out a few of these designs that might work for your space. We offer free in-home design consultations too, so even if you're just curious, it never hurts to ask a professional.

    thanks very much for your comments, this is in México so its easy to find nice things travelling to the US. the size of the bedroom is 3m wide x 5m long (the bed is in the same space as the closet thats why it looks tiny over there 2.4m)

    I'm sorry that there were so many rude and unhelpful comments. My bedroom is even smaller than yours and it's been really challenging to make the small space work. There are also some great suggestions here, I would love to see what you ended up doing in your room!

    if you want we can create a custom closet for your space. this will help you instead of buying something pre-build
