Make the Best From Small Spaces

Let's face it

Let's face it. We don't all possess the wealth to hammer down a wall simply to create an area to make it larger. Why don't you do the very next best thing? Redesign your small space to make it look larger. By using certain design techniques you can add depth and functionality to the space while giving it the much-needed consideration it deserves. Combine these basic elements into your small space to turn your room into a more relaxing place for you and your family to get pleasure from:

Colour - Ensure the paint you select is a high glossy paint to ensure it reflects light and makes the room appear bigger. Selecting the correct colour can open up an area and give it a new tone. Use lighter colours. Opt for light shades of blues, greens, or yellows in place of plain white. Be wary of using darker colours which can make a space feel smaller. Should you prefer a deeper colour, try painting one wall a dark colour. The accent wall can, when surrounded by lighter colours, add depth to the room.

Lighting - If you have a window in the room you are redesigning, utilize it to your advantage. The use of natural night can really make an impression on the feel of the space. Use track lighting or even a bright lighting fixture placed in a central area to brighten up your space if there is not a window. A small lamp could also aid in making a space look larger.

Furniture - When choosing furniture to put inside your small space try round pieces such as, a table or a comfortable chair. The smaller the piece the better. Smaller furniture will obviously use up less space and open up the room. Always remember to pick furniture that reflects your individual style.

Flooring - A key part to making a tiny space seem bigger is flooring. Wood flooring with a neutral coloured rug is best. If you have a small budget, try pulling up your carpet to see if the flooring underneath is worth making use of. If not, leave the carpet down and try placing a light-colored rug with an attractive pattern in the centre of the room.

Mirrors - Always try to give your small space a mirror. This low-priced technique may be just what your room needs. As well as adding depth to the room, mirrors also add light to a room from their reflection. Be creative when choosing your mirror. Do not be afraid to buy a mirror which has an odd shape or style. Also keep in mind not to buy something too big; it could make the mirror the focal point in the space.

Decorating - The best advice when redecorating your small space? Keep it simple. Don't overwhelm a space with too many odds and ends. Place no more than two pictures on each wall. By adding less decoration to the room, the space will feel more open and inviting to all the guests.

Every now and then small spaces can be difficult to style or redesign. Working with the right tools and your sense of style can help you with your mission to produce a roomier feel to your space. Designing a tiny space should be fun and easy. Allow it to become a weekend project and by Sunday evening you could be relaxing and using your brand new room.
