- GO LONG!!
Houses and apartments are become smaller and smaller. It can be difficult to decorate narrow, small spaces.
Don’t give up all hope though. Here are some tips to help you
Find furniture with smaller dimensions and leggy, airy pieces that don’t have a lot of visual weight.
Place key furnishings like your sofa and large bookcases against the wall to take advantage of every square inch of floor space.
- SIZE DOWN AND BUILD UP!!
If your home has been blessed with high ceilings, you can leverage them to your advantage. Think vertically by decorating with tall mirrors, high shelves, and curtains mounted several centimetres above your actual windows, which draws the eye up and can create the illusion of a bigger home.
To further save space, use a smaller couch and maybe a tiny trunk as a coffee table, this can make your small room stylish, that no one will pay attention to its size.
- GET YOUR REFLECTION ON!!
Mirrors are one of the best ways to make your tiny space feel open and airy. The dramatic impact multiple mirrors on a wall in a small room is amazing, plus they reflect any and all the light available in the room.
Smart Ways to Use Mirrors in Small Spaces
The key is using multiple similar small mirrors (in the same way you would use picture paneling)
Using large panels of antiqued mirrors (this breaks up the reflection and reads almost more like art than mirror)
Framing the mirror with trim (this gives the mirror context rather than leaving you to figure out whether that’s really a wall or another room.
Incorporate a mirror into a salon style art wall, on a patterned wall, or into a shelf arrangement.
Use a large floor length mirror behind a piece of furniture in tight spaces. Mirrors the same width of the furniture make the piece look purposeful and prominent rather than shoved in. Entry consoles are perfect places since in small.
- USE COLOUR TO DEFINE SPACES
If you’re trying to incorporate a living in a small studio apartment, you can always use color blocking to your advantage. Use different paint colours on each side of the room, to separate areas and make them look like two separate areas, Try keep it as airy as possible by keeping the furniture to a bare minimum.
Hope you find these tips useful. Till next time, happy decorating!!
