Every inch counts when decorating small spaces! Here is an assortment of small room and small space home decorating ideas to use today.
* A favorite home decorating idea is using a hutch that tucks perfectly into a corner to display dishes or collectibles such as teacups and teapots. It also provides additional storage for table linens.
*Even if your guest bedroom has limited closet space, adding an old kitchen cupboard to the room will solve the storage challenge. It holds extra blankets and linens and offers ample space for storing your guest’s supplies such as towels, wash cloths, and scented soaps. It can also provide a place for guests to stow away their personal items to keep the room looking neat.
*What about a good night’s sleep in a small bedroom? The size of the room is far less significant than the mood of the room. A small bedroom gives a feeling of coziness and security. By painting a second-hand dresser a color similar to the bedroom walls, the dresser blends in and the room appears larger—a home decorating idea that can be used in any room.
*Wicker furniture is versatile as well as enduring and works just as well indoors as outdoors. For small-space or budget decorating, wicker chairs may be the answer to your decorating dilemma. Wicker baskets are also wonderful additions to any room to help organize clutter. They can be found in an infinite number of designs and sizes; their versatility makes them a “must" for any home.
*Furniture in a small room needs to offer flexibility. Upholstered chairs in the living room can sit alone or slide together to make a love seat. A stack of cushions works well as a footrest. A coffee table can be a “hard worker" by choosing one that has shelves to hold magazines or books. A coffee table that has a lid that opens is another great storage solution for decorating small spaces.
*If you like collectibles but have very little room to display them, consider collecting buttons—they take up very little room (although you may end up collecting a lot of them) and are perfect for displaying in small decorative dishes. They become a conversation piece when entertaining guests.
Remember, a small room gives you a sort of comfort level when you walk in because you’re not overwhelmed with an abundance of space. Build on that comfort level with creative home decorating ideas for small spaces.
