Tips For Decorating Small Spaces

Just because you have a small space doesn’t mean you can’t make it one that reflects your personal style and has the feel of a spacious home. If you’re living in a home or apartment that is tighter on space, read on to see our best tips and tricks for decorating and designing your space.

Keep it Simple

Keeping your design simple is one way to prevent your home from looking overcrowded. Simple doesn’t have to be boring! Play with different fabrics and textures until you find the balance that feels right for you. Remember to keep your tones light and neutral to brighten your space, especially if you’re lacking natural light. This will help create a more open feel and makes adding accent colors and pieces a breeze. Something as simple as adding a few small mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space in the smallest of rooms. 

Utilize Your Vertical Space

One way to make your space appear larger is by using your vertical space! By designing upward onto the walls, you can control the path of the eyes and draw attention from the floor up to your ceiling. This can be done by incorporating shelving units in the form of a tall bookcase or strategically spaced floating shelves. Additionally, get creative with commonly unused space above cabinets, televisions, and doorways! There is no shortage of unique shelving and storage options to help you maximize your available space and stay organized.

Choose the Right Pieces

One of the most important tips we have for you is to choose functional pieces when decorating your space. By choosing furniture that is multipurpose or can be compacted when it’s not in use will ensure your design works for you! An ottoman or shoe bench with storage is a great addition to small spaces as it serves as additional seating while also helping to prevent your space from feeling cluttered. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try out your pieces in different rooms until you find a perfect fit!

Keep Your Space Alive

This tip may be a little intimidating to those of us born without green-thumbs, but stay with me. The benefits of incorporating plants into a design seem to be endless! Greenery will instantly liven up even the dreariest of spaces and can even create a greater sense of well-being which is perfect for your little slice of paradise. When choosing the right plants for your space, research is essential to ensure the success of your plant. Faux plants are also a great option for a more low-maintenance space!

Lastly, remember to have fun! Designing a space that is a reflection of you and your lifestyle should be an enjoyable experience. We know that interior decorating can feel like an impossible task to some, but don’t be afraid to play with different colors and pieces until you’ve created a fun and functional escape.
