Small space decorating can be a challenge! But an apartment or small home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or feel cramped! With these five simple tips, you can make your spaces live large while expressing your own personal decorating style!
Hidden Storage
Every room needs plenty of places to hide their things, especially in a small space.
Multiple Light Sources
Having a variety of light sources at eye level will cast the most flattering glow around the room, illuminating dark corners, making your room seem bigger.
Armless Chairs
The arm on a chair surprisingly takes up a lot of space, so eliminating them saves your room lots of room (physically and visually!) Furniture that is compact and visually lightweight won’t overwhelm your small space. Make sure to scale back how many pieces you have in the room, and pieces with open legs are a foolproof way to create some airiness.
Super-Sized Rug
An area rug that is almost wall to wall will make the room feel larger. It draws your eye to the ends of the room instead of being focused on a small rectangle in the middle.
Float Furniture
Float your furniture away from the walls! Trust us, this makes a world of a difference! If you want your room to look bigger, pushing all the furniture up against the walls isn’t the way to do it. Furniture needs breathing room. Pulling the furniture away from the walls will make conversation areas more intimate and create a better sense of balance. Even in a small room, you can give furnishings some space.
