Don’t Give Up on Your Small Spaces: How to Decorate Small Homes and Rooms

If you have a small home or a small room within a larger home, you may think that decorating it is simply not going to work well. After all, there’s not enough room to bring in all the furniture you want, or to accent the parts of the home you like. You may be surprised by some of the ways you can actually make the space look bigger and more inviting. Check out these ideas and then visit Half Price Drapes to find what you need.

Learn to love colors

It’s a common misconception that a small space should only have white walls. According to decorators, this doesn’t have to be true. Bold colors can actually help accentuate the home if you do them right. Make sure if you’re using darker colors that you’re balancing them with lighter colors in your furniture. It may also be wise to skip contrasting trim and instead using the same color from the floor to the ceiling. This can help make ceilings look higher.

Take your eyes up

If you have minimal floor space, take advantage of the vertical room you have. For example, if you’re decorating a bedroom, floating nightstands that hang from the ceiling can keep floor space clear, while wall sconces instead of tables can also leave you more room on the floor. Any way you can make the room look larger while also adding storage at the same time in a win-win.

Mirrors are your best friend

A single mirror can make a big difference. If you use several of them, you’ll be throwing light around the room. This reflection can make the room feel bigger. If you have a room that doesn’t have enough windows, consider framing a mirror as you would a frame. You can even add window coverings to it, to make it really look like a window.

Dress your windows carefully

If you are lucky enough to have plenty of light, make sure you’re accentuating those windows. They can help a room feel brighter and more spacious. Sheer curtains are a great way to let the light flow in, while shades are a great way to let some light in while increasing your privacy. Make sure that you’re using your window coverings for two purposes: Functional and style. Following that simple tip for every piece of décor is a great place to start.
