4 Home Decor Tips For Small Spaces

Whether you own your home or are a renter, home decor can be super tricky in small spaces and it can be super tough to decide on a decor style that works well with your space. Luckily, there are many interior designers out there who have posted photos and videos on the internet for inspiration, and there are also entire blogs and books dedicated to helping people make the most of their homes, no matter the square footage. Here are 4 easy home decor tips for small spaces.

Add Built-In Furniture

Adding built-in furniture into your home is a wonderful way to use the space so that you have as much open space as possible. If you are handy and have the correct tools, you can even build the furniture yourself so that it fits perfectly and fulfills all of your needs.

For example, in a small space, it can be difficult to find good storage options. If you have built-in furniture such as couches or benches, you can specifically build them so that they have extra storage areas in them for pillows, blankets, board games, replacement motorcycle parts, or anything else that you need storage for.

Use The Right Lighting

Lighting can make certain spaces look brighter and larger than they are, you just have to be careful with the type of lighting that you choose. Using the right lighting such as warm, yellow lighting will really elevate your home no matter how small it is. Avoid bright and harsh white lighting. Not only will this help make the smallest spaces look better but it will also make your home feel more comfortable and inviting!

Choose Light Paint Colors

If you want to brighten up your home and make it look larger and more open than it actually is, one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to do this is by choosing light paint colors rather than dark ones.

You don’t necessarily have to paint every wall in your house white, but lighter and more muted colors tend to really make everything look more spacious so you won’t regret choosing those types of colors when painting the interior of your home. If you need pops of color, use your decor to do this rather than paint!

Be Deliberate With Tile Placement

In very small bathrooms and showers, the way you use tile can actually help the space to look much bigger than it actually is. Larger tiles, for example, will give the illusion of a larger shower. If you extend tiles all the way up to the ceiling in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, it can even make the ceilings look higher which will improve your home greatly.

Decorating small spaces can be a little stressful, but there are ways to do it that will make your home feel and function better than ever before. Hopefully, these tips can help.
