Decorating a small space

Keep your options open. Allow for quick changes that can make your room multi-functional. In your living room, leave some empty space where extra chairs or seating options can be added if you have a party. If you are buying a new sofa, it may be worth it to invest in a sleeper sofa so that your living room can be quickly changed into a guest bedroom.

Don’t be afraid to fill the space with large furniture. You can use large furniture in a small room, just choose your pieces wisely and don’t overdo it on the home accents and accessories. Also, be sure that it functions well. For example, you want there to be a comfortable amount of space between the couch, coffee table (if you have one) and television.

Deck the walls. The great thing about wall art is that it doesn’t take up any space that you need to fill with furniture.  Try to incorporate a mirror in the room to amplify space and reflect light into the room.

Storage, storage, storage. The smaller the space, the less room there is to store all your stuff. Look for furniture that not only serves its primary function, but also adds some element of storage. For example, there are many coffee tables that have drawers where you can store remotes, magazines, DVDs, and more. If you have a coffee table without drawers, add some decorative baskets underneath for storage.

...To make a small space look bigger, you have to be creative in choosing decors and colors. White paint is good, but try to match it with brightly colored accessories and curtains. Storages are also good if you want to conserve space.
