Ideas for Decorating Small Spaces

Have you recently purchased the perfect cozy space or are you looking to revamp your current one? When decorating, you don’t have to skimp on the decor just because it’s a small space. Every space, no matter the size, can be transformed into a stylish room with the right attitude and some designs tips. Stop by Eldon Furniture today for all of your room designing needs including: furniture, flooring, blinds, windows, mattresses and bedding, appliances and more! Meanwhile, here’s some ideas for decorating a small space from your furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Light

One of the keys to making a small space seem airy and open is light. Utilize the natural light that the room has to offer by skipping blackout curtains and instead using sheer curtains. Along with natural light, if you have room, put either some table or floor lamps in the space. If you’re afraid lamps may make the space seem a little too cluttered, opt in for some string lights to drape along the ceilings of the room.

Mirrors

Make your room seem larger than it actually is by taking advantage of the illusion of mirrors. Get some beautiful framed mirrors to hang over furniture as a focal piece or really amplify how big your space seems by putting a full length mirror in an empty corner. As a fun little addition, string some lights around a mirror to make the most out of your space.

Creative Storage 

Instead of taking up precious space for storage, invest in furniture that doubles as hidden storage. Ottomans and benches that open up are great places to store extra blankets and pillows. If you’re looking for something with even more storage space, beds that have pull out drawers underneath are a great, hidden place to put some away extra stuff you have laying around. (Because let’s be real, nobody’s place is spotless.)


Bold Elements 

Just because your space is small, doesn’t mean you can’t use bold patterns, textures and colors. Whether its paint or furniture, you can still be a little bold when decorating a small space, just decide on a certain color palette that mixes one bold color in with a couple neutrals. If you are a little weary of going too bold in a room, instead paint an accent wall or use some bold pieces like pillows or artwork throughout the space.


Vertical Space

When decorating a small space, it’s important to utilize ALL space—that includes vertical space as well. If you’re hanging curtains, hang them a couple inches from the ceiling to make your windows appear longer. If you have decor like vases or little statues that you love, put don’t have enough space on your coffee or side tables to put them on, install a shelf to place it on. This not only fills wall space, but allows you to display more of your favorite pieces without the space seeming cluttered.

Plants

In addition to lighting, another great way to make a space seem more airy is to add plants or flowers. Bringing some natural elements into your room is an affordable way to help lighten up any space. Don’t fret if you don’t have a green thumb though! There’s fake plants and succulents that look surprisingly real.

Large Rugs

When filling a small space, don’t put a small rug on the floor. This actually makes the space seem even smaller than it actually is. Instead, choose a rug that covers the majority of floor that you can place all the big furniture on top of. Doing so creates a cohesive look that helps the space appear larger than it actually is.

Don’t let decorating and designing a small space overwhelm you! Stop by Eldon Furniture today to pick out the perfect pieces for your space from our great selection of furniture. Having a home that is visually pleasing and comfortable is important when it comes to being able to relax at the end of a long day.
