Decorating Small Spaces














Decorating small spaces can be a challenge which I find really fun. It forces you to think creatively and to minimize clutter. Here are some reasons why I LOVE small spaces:
  1. They are cozy.
  2. Smaller spaces require you to think outside the box.
  3. They are much easier to clean.
  4. Smaller places force you to de-clutter.
  5. Last but not least, small spaces force you to get outside!
Here some decorating tips for small spaces:
  1. Paint the walls and ceiling a neutral color. This will open up the room and give the feeling of a larger space.
  2. Minimize your furniture to the things you absolutely love so your space feels like home.
  3. Add in a few "light" pieces. This means adding in things that might have glass tops that give the impression of an open space. This also means mixing heavy (antique) furniture with a few modern pieces.
  4. Bring color in with accessories. Accessories are my favorite things in a room. These are things like art work, photographs, cool lamp shades, and pillows.
  5. Adding mirrors are a great way to open up the space. You can choose to hang one over a fireplace or set one on a mantle.
