5 Tips for Decorating a Small Space

If you’re dealing with a small space whether that be your living room, bedroom, or your home in general, the last thing you’ll want to do is be in it if it feels cramped. Sometimes a small space is all you have to work with, but that doesn’t mean you need to accept cluttered defeat! Regardless of the size of your space, there are so many different ways to make it feel larger than it actually is. We put together our best design tips on how to decorate a small space to give you a stylish, functional, and comfortable haven that you’ll want to spend all of your time in. 

Use Acrylic Furniture

For spaces that feel busy and chaotic, try out acrylic furniture. These pieces virtually disappear, blending with the room and creating the look of additional space. We love incorporating an acrylic coffee table with small, chic decor on top to complete the look! 

Strategize With Large Frames

Our favorite way to make a space feel bigger is with large frames! Using a large frame creates a focal point in the room and gives the illusion of a more spacious area. We also love that you can make these pieces your own by adding photography or your favorite art piece inside. To create the perfect piece for your home, try out our custom frame builder with countless frame styles and over 33 different mat colors. Stop looking for the perfect piece and complete your vision by building something custom!

Add Mirrors

With the right strategy, adding mirrors can significantly help make your space feel larger. Finding a focal point and angling your mirrors toward it will give the illusion of depth. They also reflect both natural and artificial light which will make a room brighter during the day and night. Try placing your mirror near a window to reflect light and elements outside and see what a difference it makes!

Separate Zones with Area Rugs

If you have a single space with multiple functions (studio apartment, anyone?) try zoning out each area with an area rug. A different rug paired with different furniture will separate each area and make it seem as if there are more individual spaces instead of one large space. 

Use Furniture with Storage

You can typically count on a small space to have very minimal storage space, which usually means clutter or things crammed in one area. This takes up space and can make whatever small room or home you’re working with feel even smaller. Try looking for furniture with built-in storage for a hidden place to store your stuff. We love a trunk used as a coffee table for extra space to store throw blankets, games, or whatever you’re looking to store!
