4 tips to ensure the best results when decorating smaller spaces

Designing for small spaces can be a challenge. Sometimes there’s frustration trying to create something terrific out of something tiny. Getting the balance is crucial. You don’t want a result that’s cluttered and claustrophobic or, worse in many ways, a room so minimal that any sense of comfort and cosiness is completely lost. Small spaces shouldn’t need to compromise on style or comfort. Here’s how to choose the best furniture for these environments.

1) Find the balance: Selecting furniture that is strong and subtle may sound like an oxymoron. But it is your best bet for making the most of your space. Choose a sofa that has a small profile by going for understated legs and a low back. Avoid overly chunky cushions and arms.

2) Keep it simple: Don’t go overboard when selecting furniture coverings. Avoid textured fabrics and bold patterns unless they can really fit with other elements in the room.

3) That floating feeling: Choose a chairs and settees that are raised off the ground rather than one that goes all the way to the floor. It creates a sense of lightness and helps provide more ample floor space.

4) Less is more: Too often small spaces can be filled with lots of little pieces. The result is obvious clutter that tires the eyes (and our hearts). You’re better to go with one or two stunning pieces that work well for the space.
