Extremely Aesthetic, Comfortable Easy 2 Maintain Design Out Inteiror Delhi, Greater Noida Gurugram

Just because you don’t have a huge home doesn’t mean you can’t flaunt your style. Decorating a small space, just like decorating a large one, simply requires ingenuity of design and a good eye for what works and what doesn’t. And while the focus is naturally going to be a little bit different when you’re working with less square footage, the general rules of design are pretty much the same.

We promise, a small space doesn’t have to be a big challenge! So whether you’re trying to figure out how to put a personal spin on your new studio apartment or need some guidance on making the best use of space in a not-so-spacious house, follow the 14 tips below for decorating a small space and make your home shine.

Let there be light
A small room can really open up with the right lighting. In addition to letting natural light shine in through the windows (skip the black out blinds!), use additional lighting throughout your space to bring in some additional warmth. If you don’t have the room for floor and table lamps, choose lighting options that don’t take up any prime real estate, like string lights, wall sconces, or pendant lighting.

Keep bigger items on the perimeter of rooms
There’s no reason that you have to ditch large furniture items when you’re decorating a small space, but you do want to be strategic about where you put them. Maintain feelings of depth in a room by keeping larger items—think hutches, couches, and bookcases—up against the wall, instead of in the middle of the floor.

Look for multi-purpose and/or folding furniture
Furniture that can do double duty will save you both space and money. And thanks to the tiny house/tiny apartment trend, there is no shortage of ingenious furniture items that either serve multi-purpose uses or fold up to make space in your home when they’re not in use. Desks, dining tables, and even king-sized beds come in styles that can easily be put away to make more room to move around. Likewise, you can find furniture that serves a variety of purposes, such as beds that can convert into couches and side tables that can convert into desks.

Make use of mirrors
Speaking of double duty, mirrors add both additional light and the feeling of additional space into rooms by reflecting back natural and non-natural lighting and giving an illusion of more square footage. They’re also practical on their own. Use one large mirror or arrange a few smaller ones throughout a room. You can even create a gallery wall of mirrors like you might do with art.

Get rid of stuff
One of the big benefits of living in a smaller space is that it forces you to really edit down the amount of belongings that you have in your home.

Beware of clutter

Less is more when it comes to creating a well-designed small space. On the same note as the tip above, you want to keep the general amount of stuff you own to a minimum when you don’t have a ton of room to work with. But keeping clutter down goes even further than that. Be mindful of leaving plenty of open space in your small house, both for ease of movement and for maintaining utility. This applies to all visible areas, from the floor to your countertops to the amount of space you allow between furniture items.

Get creative with storage
There are so many great storage options out there that also serve as beautiful pieces of décor.

Go bold
Small spaces lend themselves very well to bold colors, prints, and textures, just make sure you mix in some neutrals as well so that you don’t overwhelm the room. If you’re worried about going too bold, use colors and prints in smaller ways—such as on an accent wall, throw pillows, or even just picture frames. Or, go big and put up some bright and colorful wallpaper or finally buy that blue velvet couch you’ve always wanted. As long as you secure some balance in the room, there’s no reason you can’t also add in a touch of daring color or pattern.

Use large rugs
Decorating a small space is all about tricking the eye into seeing more than there really is. When you use small rugs in a small space,

Take advantage of vertical space
Don’t neglect your walls. Making the most use of vertical space means both playing around with taller items and affixing your walls with things like shelving and art that add vertical depth in addition to the spaciousness you’ve worked to create on the floor. If you have a piece you really love but can’t find a place for—a beloved vase, for instance—hang up a secure shelf and put it on there instead. And when you’re hanging drapes, install the rod only about 2 inches below the ceiling or crown molding, which adds an illusion of extra height.

Brighten up with plants and flowers
Adding greenery and flowers to your small space can breathe additional life and style into it as long as you’re careful not to overcrowd. Do keep in mind however that dead or dying plants will have the opposite effect.
