Decorating Small Spaces!
Do you have small spaces in your home and just not sure the best way to decorate it so it all flows? Weather you are getting ready to move into your first apartment or you have a condo at the Lake, finding the perfect way to incorporate décor without overcrowding the space can feel intimidating. Don't worry though, we have some great tips for you to consider! Read on to get tips for decorating those small spaces from Eldon Furniture!
Vertical Space
When decorating small spaces, it’s important to utilize all the 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 vases or little statues that you love, but 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 airier 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 are 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 the 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.
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 of 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 with 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. For example, a "bold" element you can add to your dining room could be the chandelier!
