Interior Design - Cozy, Compact Niches With Bold Drama

By Vickie Daeley


Make every square inch count.

When approaching the design of a small space, there is often a simple concept that is forgotten - less is more. Instead of utilizing smaller furniture or a variety of pieces with the goal of making the room seem larger than it is, look for impact by simply using less.

Small spaces simply cry out for something daring. Instead of cluttering your small room with tons of small furniture, consider fewer pieces on a larger scale. This will not only cause the room to feel larger but will make a greater impact on the eye upon entering the room.

Using larger scaled patterns in wallcoverings can bring ambience to the room. Deciding upon your color palette and your style preference are most likely the key elements of any room. You should absolutely love the color and style as this is going to be the focus. If you feel good about this, the rest should fall into place.

Ponder the usage of the room. When decorating an office, for example, ask yourself how frequently this space will be utilized and if intense concentration is necessary or if this is a space for casual correspondence and household accounts.

How much concentration will you need in this room? You may want to tone down your favorite colors a bit for a less lively ambience and more ability to focus on the job in front of you. Or you may need more vibrant colors to keep you alert.

When using an office in a part-time fashion, you may find bolder colors in a large scale pattern will work as it may not be necessary to concentration.
