Ways to Maximize a Small Space 2

This week we continue with our tips on how you can use these small space design ideas to help you decorate your room


Trick Your Eye

Create an impression of expansiveness by exploiting decorative sleight of hand, from floor-to-ceiling curtains and see-through furnishings to strategically placed mirrors.


Make Every Piece Count

Choose furnishings and decorative elements that offer maximum functionality in minimal square footage. Use two small round tables instead of one big coffee table. They're better for traffic flow than one of those huge knee knockers, and easier to move.


Use Bigger — But Fewer — Furnishings

It may seem counter-intuitive, but outfitting a small space with just a few large-scale pieces (rather than a mishmash of pint-size furniture) can actually make it feel grander. That said, don't be afraid of filling up the space. When a room is populated with furniture, it actually appears larger.


Visual Continuity Creates Calm

Soothing, even-toned rooms fool the eye into thinking they're more spacious than they are.
