 Small
spaces create some interesting decorating possibilities - and I
do mean possibilities! You can still create the home of your
dreams if you follow this plan.
- Light colors will generally make a room feel larger. Light
colors with warm (red, yellow) undertones will make it
feel a bit cozier than those with cool (blue, green)
undertones.
- But if you really want cozy, don't hesitate to go
with deep colors!
- Fewer pieces of larger furniture will make a space
feel larger because of less break-up of floor space.
- Have 'hidden' seating for larger gatherings. Ottomans
that double as coffee tables, cushioned footstools, and
large pillows that transition from sofa to floor are
a few suggestions.
-
 Use
accessories, but sparingly. Fewer, larger pieces
(as with the furniture) work better.
- Mirrors are wonderful light reflectors, so place one
across from a window to brighten and expand the space.
- Keep window treatments simple - or don't use them at
all, unless privacy is an issue.
By following these few, simple suggestions, your small spaces will
feel intimate - but with room to spare! |
