Decorating Tips for Tight Spaces

Tired of feeling like you are living in a cramped space? Try these simple ideas to maximize your space.


1. Go Curvy
    - Avoid rectangle and square furniture. Try to use round tables and chairs to enhance the living space.


2. Lighten Up with a Rug
    - Using a light colored rug brightens up the room and makes it appear larger.


3. See Clearly
    - Clear tables and chairs help create openness in the room.


4. Top Priorities
    - Do not try and cramp all types of furniture into a tight space. Pick the key essentials that will get the most use in your day-to-day activity. 


5. Layer It
    - Adding a different mix of colors and fabrics gives the room more depth.

Smart Design Ideas for Small Spaces


Making the most out of small spaces is easy with these simple design ideas. All it takes is a little creativity to optimize your living space.

1.  For tight kitchen spaces, consider open shelves instead of cabinets. This will give you an open feel to your kitchen, as well as provide you with plenty of organization space.



2.  To create a work space in a small bedroom, add a small nook with a desk. Add shelves above the desk to create more storage and to be sure not to let any space go to waste.



3.  Narrow wall shelves are the perfect solution to a crammed bathroom! Invest in small baskets and containers to store extra towels and bathroom accessories.

4.   Use light colors for furniture and walls. Keeping the major color pallet in the room light will make your room appear bigger. Add darker and brighter colors as accents, such as pillows or wall decorations, to make your room look less bland.

5. Use a curtain divider to turn two spaces into one, or to add more privacy.
