The key in the interior decoration of small houses is not to saturate the spaces with unnecessary things, that is, not to put extra furniture, decorative objects left over, etc.

Add depth to your room with a wall of interest, it can be upholstered or decorated with photos, have a large mirror or something similar that makes it focus all the attention on that.
Closets
A closet in the interior decoration of small houses is key, but if this is inside your room, you have many options, the first is to make a built-in closet, although this has its disadvantages that you can not change places. On the other hand you have the option of creating a rock table closet which you can cover with curtains or with normal doors for a room or leave it as an open closet, but this one has its disadvantages that will make your room look a bit smaller, so the ideal is to have doors.
Make your room look even more neat and wide, because you are playing with the size of the dimensions, as the white color gives a sense of spaciousness and will make the spaces more illuminated.

It can be a piece of furniture on the side of your bed or the furniture of the TV. to mention some alternatives.
Rooms for children
When it comes time to decorate rooms for children in small houses the key is to take advantage of all the space you have in useful things and that your child or children will actually use.

The point is to create the perfect environment in whatever space you have, I mean?
Bunk beds
Personal bunk beds, I think, are the best options for children’s rooms in small spaces.

Keep things in order and have spaces designated to each of your children’s things will help you to make this space always look clean, appreciate the decoration well and do not look younger than it really is.
Decorate with light colors
As in the rest of the spaces of a small house, I recommend that in the room of your children use light colors that give more visual amplitude to your room.
