Six Ideas For Decorating in a Small Space

A small space can be a challenge for even the most talented of interior decorators. You want it to look cute but you also need to fit a whole of stuff into it (and then be able to find it). Making a small space work takes strategy. Here are a few tips on decorating in a small space.

Display your books

Books can not only look beautiful but they can also be used as a room divider on a shelf.

Hang ceiling to floor drapes

This is not only looks elegant but also has a cocooning effect on the room.

Be smart about your storage

Get clever. Hang chairs, bikes and all your bags. Buy pretty storage containers and make a great pattern.

Hang a mirror

A well-placed mirror can do wonders for a room, making it feel twice as big. Consider covering a whole wall with mirrors!

Consider different shapes

Don't always go for a square or rectangular table, try circular. Or find some oddly-shaped chairs. Why not stools?

Loft your bed

If you have a bed that can be lofted, then do it. It can open up a ton of space.
