Many of us are facing with the “small places” problem. This article is ready to offer you six decoration tricks for a small place.
No.1- Plan for multi-purpose furniture such as storage ottomans that serve as seating, storage and as a table top. By purchasing the multiple use ottoman you have essentially freed up the space it would take for a small table with storage capability.

No.2- Use light colors on upholstery, walls and all major furniture pieces such as entertainment units. Use monochromatic color schemes so that the space appears to visually flow unobstructed.

No.3- Keep the space well lit – darkness makes rooms appear smaller than they really are. I like to use mirrors to bounce light around small rooms. The mirrors also multi-task as they create the illusion of more space by visually enlarging the room.
No.4- Use glass top tables or acrylics instead of solid woods. Since the glass is “see-thru” it will give the appearance of space.

No.5- Floating wall shelves are attractive and do not take up precious floor space. I highly recommend their use.
No.6- Opt for furniture that “floats” (recessed toe kicks, no sofa skirts, blank space at foot) it will create the illusion of more floor space. Look for sofas with low profiles and slim arms.
