It's a fact of life, that no matter how much you try to avoid it, somehow or other, somewhere down the line you're going to be stuck with a small living space which you will need to decorate. You need an interior decorating idea instantly. As you read on, you'll find a few related tips, and maybe that perfect interior decorating idea you need.
Whatever the case of living in tight quarters is, the fact may be that you're going to have to live in it for a long enough time that you simply have to decorate the place to feel good about it.
Small Round Coffee Tables
If you've already been living in a small living area for some time, then you've probably decorated a room or rooms the way you want them. But if you're thinking of redecorating, then there must be something you're not satisfied with.
Now, let's peek together at a list of tips below. An interior decorating idea may just jump at you from there. Let's ease up the dilemma about decorating small places and feeling good while living in them at the same time.
o First and foremost, if your room is already furnished, then sit down and try to pinpoint what it is that you don't like about it. Is it too cluttered, do you feel claustrophobic (closed in), or is it something else entirely?
o Once you've pinpointed what's wrong, and you just feel cluttered up, it's generally best to clear out the whole room if you can. Then, bring your gear back in piece by piece, starting with the big stuff.
When you get to the point where you feel comfortable with what you have put back, stop right there before clutter barges back in. You want to move forward from here, not to start from the square one, right?
o If you feel the space is dark, try making your windows appear larger. This can be done by removing any heavy curtains or accent drapery from around the windows. Sleek pleated or cellular shades look virtually unobtrusive inside windows and filter sun rays gently enough to provide sufficient light in a room.
o Keep your windows and mirrors clean (as this will make the room appear larger). It sounds odd I know, but if you have shiny windows they'll let in more light. The same goes for mirrors.
o And speaking of mirrors, did you know that by placing a few mirrors around the room you can get the place to magically open up? Try it with appropriately sized mirrors - it works.
The trick here is to place them in various key positions, like opposite your windows or perhaps on either side of them (if you can get inexpensive two long-panel mirrors).
o Larger mirrors are always better while small mirrors also do the trick if you place them at eye-level.
o To open up a room even more, try using a few larger pieces of furniture instead of too many small ones. This gives the visual of a large room when you first come in. It'll look more open and feel there's room to "breathe".
o When you're arranging your furniture, mind the room's dynamic flow. Make sure any impediments in areas where you most naturally walk through are out of the way. Reposition any items standing in the way (say ...after a few days of "really" using the living space since it hard to guess 100% where everything goes on the first try).
o If you don't have any large pieces of furniture, then use small ones by all means. Stick to the pieces which have a light and open design. Avoid the ones that appear "too busy, too stuffy, or tipsy".
o Colors? Avoid using dark and gloomy colors. This can be downright depressing in a small room. Overly bright colors may not fit either. Go with cozy, warm, "earthy" colors and tones to make the room appear open and more inviting. Since color choices are very personal, go with the ones that you've always found energizing, soothing, or comforting.
o Install lights in any dark closets or corners (if you can). When you see inside, you are likely to make use of the space instead of leaving it dark and therefore unused.
o Speaking of lighting, keep all the lights soft. Let them blend in with the background. The rail-runner lights are ideal for small rooms if you "bounce them off the walls" and let them diffuse through the space naturally.
o And lastly, checking off the final small-space interior decorating idea: get into the habit of purchasing and using multiple-duty items. This new habit allows you to save some money and make the most of your small space at the same time. Even quite tiny, you can still enjoy the comfort of your home, sweet home 'cause that's where the heart is.
