Small Room Decorating

Small rooms often pose problems because there’s simply not enough space for everything and, if there is, the end result will most likely be a cluttered and uninviting room. Decorating a small bedroom requires lots of planning and it doesn’t hurt to also be clever and come up with custom solutions.

 

Maximize your space with these new rules for small-space decorating

 

• Use the same flooring material throughout the space to unify it and make it seem more expansive.

•  Select ceramic tiles that are oversized in bathrooms to give the illusion of space.

• The appropriate use of mirrors can visually double the size of a room.

• Be careful of dark colours in small rooms because they’re too dramatic and will close it in. Instead use light colours on the walls and ceilings.

• Contrasting colors tend to break up a space. Pieces of furniture are less interrupting and tend to blend with the space if they're colored to match the wall colour.

• Make sure your furniture is appropriately sized for the room. 

• The higher you put things in a room the more you will bring it in. Take down high shelves, paintings and lamps.

• Any room will look larger if it's well-lit, either by natural light or artificial lighting. Get rid of heavy draperies and open up the windows to let the light of the outdoors into the space.

•  Ditch billowy drapes and opt for vertical blinds for space and modernity.
