Here are some great ideas for decorating small spaces Simple and easy to implement, these small space decorating tips will help you design a small room or an entire home.
If you are looking for a plan for decorating small spaces that is simple and can be applied to any interior decor style, a single room or an entire home, then you've come to the right place.
Here are five fundamentals for small space decorating:
1. keep the ceilings white, the floors a light to medium finish and use neutral shades on the walls. If you are decorating an entire small home, it's okay to use varying shades of your primary color selection (a neutral, of course) in different rooms, but avoid using different colors. that will bring attention to the diminutive size of each room. Similar shades of the same neutral color will work to make the space appear larger. Use the bolder/deeper colors as accents.
2. Furnish your space with pieces that are of a scale that matches the size of the space. for example, you would not want to put a large sectional in a 12 x 14 living area.it's just too big. you might opt instead for a sofa, an upholstered chair and an accent chair to serve as the anchor pieces in the space.
3. whenever decorating small spaces, use pieces that have more than one function if possible. for example, the photo to the right shows a built-in corner unit with a TV, drawers beneath it and shelving on either side. makes great use of a corner space
4. Utilize shelving/bookcases wherever you can. there are so many options in terms of size and shape of shelving, you can find almost any size needed for a space. in concert with that objective, use storage bins, boxes, containers, etc. to keep yourself organized. these two suggestions will work in any room or area of your home when decorating small spaces.
5. keep the clutter to a minimum. If you have collectibles and pieces you love to display, rotate them every few months. also, in small space decorating, use one large accessory on the walls and keep the others smaller in the area. for example, use a large mirror on one wall of the dining area, then a grouping of smaller pieces of artwork on the other wall.
Follow these simple suggestions and you will create a space that lives large
