How to Reinvent and Decorate Small Spaces?

Minimalist Furniture

In small spaces, the last thing you would want is to completely fill your space with furniture and reduce the amount of free space you have. Having large, solid pieces of furniture can reduce the amount of perceived space in the room and make it more cluttered than it already is. It is a good thing that furniture is always an eye-catcher no matter the type – this means you can experiment with different types of furniture and still get the same vibe you are wanting. If you are looking to install furniture but still maintain the perception of space, the advice is to look for minimalist furniture. Pieces like ladder bookcases are lightweight and can be placed in tight spaces without taking space away from the room. You can use pieces that also act as storage – there are beds that can hold storage either under the bed frame or under the mattress. Having this allows holding storage away from plain sight which can mimic the feel of clean space.

Make it Cosy

Large interiors are quite hard to make cosy. With excess room, it tends to simply feel too large and too cold rather than small and cosy. This is the plus side to having smaller or tighter spaces as it is easier to make it feel cosy and warm. This is something you would want the most in your living room or your bedroom to make it enjoyable and worth having. To embrace cosiness, you can use fluffy items such as large, furry blankets or a soft, fluffy rug. Using these items can trap heat and increase the warmth of the room by seemingly doing nothing. It will make your living space cosy and more enjoyable than in a large, cold space.

Bold Paint

The colour of the room is very important for the vibe and aesthetic you are going for. White walls are unmatched if you are wanting to maintain as much light as possible in the room but you would be giving up the chance to express your personality to the highest potential. White walls lack creativity and easily show any marks or damage to the walls.

If you are wanting to express an eccentric style and taste, you can paint the room a bold colour. The walls are where you can express yourself if you can't in the furniture or the accessories. Allowing yourself to paint the room a bold colour will allow a decorative space while having minimalistic furniture that won't be taking up space.

If white and bold colours are not your choices, you can go for light, pastel colours. This is the best match for minimalistic furniture and pairs well with cosy vibes. Add some waterfall fairy lights to complete the cosy atmosphere; which will shine nicely against the pastel walls.

Sectioning OFF

In small spaces or open plan settings, sectioning off certain areas can help establish different parts of the living space. You can use different aesthetics in different areas to act as dividers – which can divide the kitchen from the dining room or the living room, for instance. This is particularly useful if you are a student living in a dorm where your space isn't practical to have a lot of possessions and you want some divisions between your living areas. An ideal way to separate flooring spaces is to use rugs of different colours and aesthetics as they influence walking paths and can cause separation between living spaces by being different from each other. Having different types and colours of rugs for different areas can cause divides effortlessly without causing any obstructions or decreasing space available.

Inventive storage

One of the most important things with small spaces is managing storage. Clever storage techniques are needed if you don't want it to cut away from open space. As mentioned before, one of the best ways to store is to have furniture that can be utilised as storage spaces as well. Ottoman style beds can be a good way of getting around the need for a chest of draws or wardrobe. They can store clothes, shows, large blankets and bedding, etc.

There can be spaces that are used for both a bedroom and a workspace. Small business owners or students, where a lot of their work can be in their 'bedrooms', can use fold up beds that double as sofas to reduce the need to buy the two separate items. This would allow more space for more important furniture, like a desk, that could be more necessary and beneficial.
