5 Tips For Decorating Small Spaces

Small spaces can be oh-so-comfortable but if your cute little abode is cramping your style you may find these practical decorating tips helpful.

Unclutter your space. Does all your stuff overshadow your favorite furnishings and decorative pieces? Remember the golden rule: If you don’t use it everyday, you probably don’t need it. Take out things you don’t use daily and put them in storage. When you need something, you can dig it out. After about three months if you haven’t gone looking for an item, give it away or sell it.

Make use of natural light. Light gives the impression of open space, so don’t cover windows with heavy drapery. Try a simple sheer window covering. If the room faces a blank, windowless side of the building next door, consider foregoing draperies altogether.

To keep things light and airy, use clear acrylic and glass pieces. For contemporary chic, try the Discovery Coffee Table or try a wood and tempered glass top table like the Wingnut Coffee Table. Either way, you’ll get a look that doesn’t visually take up valuable space.

Everything in its place. When it comes to small living spaces, everything needs its own special place. Proper storage is simply a must. Make an effort to find the perfect “home” for each item and you’ll won’t end up feeling frustrated with a lack of space.

Create a place to reflect. Use an eclectic grouping of mirrors or place a large mirror on the wall opposite a window to reflect light and make the room appear larger. Need some artwork? Choose a decorative mirror like the Bang Mirror or the captivating mosaic rendition that only the Reflect Mirror can offer.

Choose versatile furniture. Whenever possible choose furniture that has multiple purposes, is easily moved and creates visual space. For example, choose a sleeper sofa without arms, like the Chrystie Convertible Sofa. Sectional sofas, like the Applewood provide the ultimate in comfort while taking up half the space that a sofa and chairs would take.

For small dining areas, opt for a dining room table with folding ends. An entryway can be brightened up with a simple chest of drawers like the Waverly Dresser, providing a precious storage solution and a handy surface for keys, gloves and other what-have-yous. Add a lamp for extra lighting. Using furniture creatively makes a small space as decorative as it is cozy.

Remember, living in a small space doesn’t mean you can’t get full sized enjoyment from living there. Follow these easy tips and with a little imagination you can create a very special space.
