Designing a small space so it is functional as well as beautiful can be a challenge. But with some decorator tips, you can make tight spaces appear much larger. When you furnish your room correctly, you can even incorporate storage to keep your room tidy and maximise the space you do have without pesky clutter.
Allow your furniture to create a slimmer footprint by choosing the right designs. Harmless sofas and love seats along with narrow cocktail tables and consoles provide the function you need without making the room feel overcrowded.
Here are some good ideas to make the most of a smaller room so it becomes a practical and inviting place in your home.
Push out your walls visually by painting them in the same shade as the ceiling and trim. Pick a light color like a pleasing tone of white. Cover the windows with sheer curtains or ditch the window coverings altogether to maximise natural light.
sectional sofas are known for maximising space. Think about selecting a sectional sofa for your room, instead of crowding the area with an array of individual seating pieces like chairs, love seats and sofas.
It may be counter intuitive, but pulling furniture away from the walls can make your room appear larger. Use a natural focal point like a fireplace or a bay window. Or, you can create one with an electric fireplace or an interesting accent piece like an artistically designed cabinet.
Opt for a solid color area rug or one with a subdued pattern or texture instead of a busy, loud design that will make your room seem crowded. Make sure to choose an area rug that fits the size of your room. If the rug is too small, it can make the room appear smaller.
Multi functional furniture will save you from placing two pieces that take up more space. An ottoman can serve as a coffee table and additional seating when needed, and a lift-top table can become a place for your laptop instead of a desk when working remotely.
Make your room feel more open and airy by minimizing the visual weight of your furniture. Pass on massive, ornate pieces and opt for low-profile, stylish furniture instead. Go to extremes by choosing see-through items like an acrylic or glass cocktail table that will seem to disappear.
Just because your space is small, it does not mean that you can't have a high style to give your room character. Mid-century modern designs with straight lines and splayed legs are perfect for a smaller space, and you can add interest with architectural detailing like moulding.
