It is commonly thought that if you are decorating a small room, you
should use small furniture pieces and various other items in order to
make the room look bigger. People seem to forget that "less is more"
and makes for great impact when designing small spaces.
Small rooms don't have to limit you to smaller pieces of furniture in
order to present an open, airy feel. Frequently, placing a few larger
pieces in the room will not only assist in easier room flow but causes
the space to feel more inviting and larger than the square footage
actually is.
Another issue that many people have difficulty with when decorating
small areas is color. Frequently, deeper or brighter colors and
patterns on the grand scale in wall coverings are a better choice for
these little jewels. Think of colors that you feel comfortable wearing
or rooms where you've been that seem to enfold you with a welcoming
warmth.
Consider what the major use of the room will be. In the case of an
office used on a full-time basis, it is significant to think about how
comfortable you will feel day to day working in this room.
If working at home is your situation, you might want to choose a more
sedate color palate that will be soothing and comfortable. If staying
alert and being creative are your needs, then, by all means, go for the
bold and dramatic.
If your space is going to be used as a part-time office, perhaps you
should indulge your fantasies and go for the more brilliant color
concentration. Whatever your choices, you need to be certain that you
love the pieces and colors that you are utilizing in your tiny space.
Consider room flow as well as function when furnishing your little
niche and remember that "less" can be "more.
I have a VERY small room, like 9 x 11. My grandparents are giving me a double bed because they are moving and would like to borrow my day bed. My friend has the same style home as me and the same room and a double bed fits fine in her room, I have a big dresser, its about 5 ft long. I need help finding a small laptop desk that can fit my laptop, two computer speakers, and my mouse. If you could give me links that would be great. Thanks!
My friend has her bed going the long way across the 9ft long wall and thats how i will have it because i need the 11ft wall to have my dresser against, on the other 9ft wall across from the bed is my door so i need a desk that can be right next to my bed, maybe 3ft long.
The bed/dresser goes together and they are a really cool old 1930s light almost blonde colored oak and look sort of art deco. So I would prefer that the desk goes with the rest of the furniture
My brother recently moved out so I get both our rooms. my mom doesn't want me to repaint. Even though I can paint the ceiling since it's black as well. The room is only like 10 by 12 very small. I want it famine and sophisticated, and maybe brighten it up a little. I was thinking maybe doing it up with white and purple? Any ideas? If it helps I'm 21.
We're going to decorate a small room for our baby, and there's wallpaper already in the room. Can you tell me what we need to buy, what kind of paste etc to get in order to rewallpaper? And do we need to paint underneath the new wallpaper? We don't want wrinkly paper!
Thank you xx
This is the master bedroom. Its very small. I am buying a double bed with 2 small side tables, and that will just fit the width of the room. This is it:

Then I am getting a small dresser of a similar style to this and that can fit near the door.
I need to buy carpet and drapes. The windows are double sliding doors leading out to the balconey. Floor to ceiling, and taking up almost the entire wall.
My question is, for a room so small, what are the best color schemes? Obviously the furniture is black. Carpet I was thinking ivory. Drapes, I was thinking light brown and then light brown bed linens?
What kind of things should I keep in mind when decorating a small room? I dont want it to feel cramped. I want it to feel light and open. Thanks for any suggestions!
We keep clothes and other items in another room. I try to keep clutter out of this room.
Hi, I want to decorate my small room (no painting at all!) I already cleared out the stuff that i dont use and cleaned out my closet so my room is really clean! It's just boring me, I moved the dresser and it helps a little bit but i want to make it a cool hangout teen room! I want a desk and a beanbag chair but my room will just be cramped! I want a cheap bulletin board and dry erase board (i found a dry erase and it's purple!) I have a sewing machine but have no where to put it in my room! Everyone gets annoyed by the sound of the machine so i want it in my room! Please help! My huge bed takes up most of the space so i am not moving it. I have a big white lamp but i want a cute cheap one! I want happy bunny posters (just some) but don't know where to get it! Do you have any websites?
God Bless! Happy Thanksgiving!
