Decorating small spaces on a budget
Knowing how to decorate small spaces can be difficult. When you’re living in an apartment, you want to decorate the space without removing too much potential living space. You also don’t want to have to break the bank in doing so. Make the most of any space in your home by following these great tips on how to decorate small spaces on a budget. Here are decorating ideas and creative tips that will help you decorate small spaces in your home!
1. Hang Your Drapes High
An easy way to make ceilings look higher is to place the drapery rod close to the ceiling and extend the rod at least 4 inches on either side of the window. When you hang drapes this way the window appears wider, more light gets in and the room looks larger.
2. Buy Multi-functional Furniture
Beds, sofas, chairs & tables now come with built in compartments and smart spaces to tuck away your items. Invest in multi-functional furniture pieces that match your style and give you the added benefit of extra storage.
3. Add Space with Mirrors
It sounds unusual but surrounding yourself with mirrors creates the illusion of more room by reflecting more light. Look for mirrors with unique shapes and frames. Unleash your inner designer and create a gallery wall. You’ll be amazed at the results.
4. Turn A Closet into A Showpiece
Place closets in plain view but add a twist. Stack vintage luggage in a hallway against a wall. This unique closet idea will not only become a conversation piece but will provide “drawers” of extra storage for you to utilize.
5. Embrace Soft, Continuous Color
Light, neutral colors running through smaller areas can make rooms look less choppy. The key is to keep it simple. Pick one or two colors and make sure they blend from room to room. A continuous neutral palette also serves as a great backdrop for wall art.
