Size Doesn’t Matter

Today I’m  head over heels in love with this pretty passage and the bedroom that it leads to. Aren’t you too?

Can I sleep here tonight please?

Totally awestruck by the bold mix of colours and patterns in this bedroom! Would you believe it if I told you that this gorgeous room is located in a 593 square feet tiny apartment in Missouri? Only goes to show how small spaces can be converted into functional yet gorgeous living spaces with a little effort and ingenuity. 

Here are some tips to help you renovate a room when you face space constraint.

• Invest in some statement making furniture and room accessories. They needn’t be expensive as long as they’re stylish. Some pieces to consider are a headboard for your bed, curtains or wall accessories.

• When decorating small spaces, mirrors are your best friends! Use them to create an illusion of space and to add a touch of glamour to the room.

• While white is definitely the safest choice of color to use in a small room, do not be afraid of combining it with bolder colors or prints to turn your room into a visual delight.

• DO try your hand at some DIY activities to decorate and add a personal touch to the room.

• When it comes to storage, think out of the box. Consider alternate uses of elements like a bed side table or a window sill as a work station or a dresser.

• Go beyond traditional lamps and light fixtures. Play with lighting to create an appropriate mood for your room.

…and remember, big ideas come in small packages!
