Small Room Décor Tips That Will Blow Your Mind

We’ve all got that one room in the house that is teeny tiny. Many of us struggle to figure out what we’re supposed to do with it. It can end up looking cramped. The layout can be impractical. Trying to figure it out can be like walking on a tightrope. But worry no more! These small room decor tips will blow your mind!

Add Mirrors
It’s true that putting up mirrors isn’t going to make your home any more spacious physically. However, it will reflect light and space, making any room you put them in look more spacious. It’s an illusion, but it’s an effective illusion that’s used by interior designers all the time. Big mirrors that take up a whole wall can be really effective, or you can use a series of mirrors for a quirky look and feel.

Figure Out Some Smart Storage Options
In a small room, you need some smart storage options. Some people like to go for hidden storage. This can go under a bed, under a bath, or in another item of furniture helping you to double up their practicality. Other smart storage options include making the most of your vertical storage with shelves and caddies. Floating furniture is a great way to make it look like you have more floor space than you really do, while adding more storage and usefulness to a room.

Choose A Big Piece of Furniture
It might sound counterproductive, but adding a big piece of furniture to a small room can help to make it appear even larger. This is because people walk into the room and the first thing they see is this huge piece of furniture, so they think the room is bigger than it is. If you try to add smaller pieces of furniture in an attempt to save space, you can actually make the space look smaller and more cramped. Be smart and avoid visual clutter this way.

Make Sure Your Lighting Is Right
If you have poor lighting in a small room, your guests are going to start feeling claustrophobic. Make sure you have proper lighting, whether this room is a bathroom or bedroom. You can find lighting fixtures and fittings at stores such as the Lighting Expo.

Light Colours Open Up Any Space
Using light colours in your colour scheme are going to give the illusion of more space. Using dark colours will make your space feel smaller. However, there are exceptions to this rule. A bedroom is used primarily for sleeping, so if you want to use darker colours in a small bedroom to alter the mood and ambience and promote sleep, you should feel free. Purple and dark blue can be great for the bedroom.

You can really make the most of any small room with these tips. You don’t need to resign yourself to having a cramped, impractical room. Be smart and you can make it one of the best rooms in the house. Leave a comment with your own thoughts and ideas!
