Designing Small Spaces

Lots of people live in a small home, a small room, or just a small space. Some people live in a small apartment because that`s all they can afford, and they`re grateful for it. Some people live in a small apartment or home because they`re tired of taking care of a larger place and want to "downsize." Others just don`t want a large home. Small is beautiful! And easy, and practical, too! But no matter what your reason for living in a small space, you`ll undoubtedly have to make some compromises in your decorating, get really organized, and make some adjustments to your lifestyle in order to make everything fit and not feel cramped. If you`re looking for a cosy, intimate space, you`re in luck. By using soft, snugly upholstered pieces, dark, warm tones, and dramatic lighting, your tiny corner can become a wonderful private space.

But if you really feel the need to stretch out in your small space, you can make some decorating changes to make the area look and feel larger without moving any walls! With colour, furniture arranging, and interesting lighting, your space won`t feel so cramped. You`ll have an intimate space that suits all your needs.
