Sometimes we do not choose the small room life, but the small room life chooses us. Whether you have moved into an older home or you recently downsized, you are faced with the struggles of owning a small room. Small rooms are an annoyance if anything. They provide limited storage, use, and even mobility. While designing your small room, you have become downright frustrated. Decorating a tiny space can be difficult and timely. To help decrease your frustration, we have created six tips for you to use while designing. These tips will help you embrace your small space and ultimately create the room of your dreams. Let’s take a look!

Six Ways to Maximize The Space in a Small Room:

Tip #1: Focus Attention.
In small rooms, we want to draw attention to a focal point rather than the size of the room. In order to refocus the attention, we need to decide what part of the room will be our focal point. What part of your room do you want to stand out the most? For instance, in bedrooms, the focal point of the room typically becomes the bed. Depending on what room you are working with, you will want to decide where you want your focal point to be. Once you have chosen, you want to make this part the most elaborate, well-thought-out portion of the entire room. Spend time designing this section of the room to the best of your ability. Read blogs and do vast research before you begin buying. If you follow this simple tip, you can instantly redirect focus from your room’s size to the focal point’s design.

Tip #2: Less is More.
In tiny spaces, less is always more. While finding decor and furniture, keep in mind that the less you buy, the more room will you have. Try to downsize on the amount of furniture you have, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Tip #3: Keep Storage Options Open.
While searching for furniture, keep in mind that storage will be your best friend. While the room may be limited on built-in storage, you can compensate with storage-friendly furnishings. Try to find dual-purpose furniture that can give you more space and more use.

Tip #4: Embrace It.
You will not be able to change the size of your room without extreme renovations; therefore, your best bet is to embrace it. Embrace your small space by working hard to improve its design and function. Every homeowner will come across a small room in their life, and it is how you deal with it that will determine the outcome.

Tip #5: Shine Bright.
Natural lighting is the key to success in tiny spaces. Open up your curtains and buy sheer drapery to help the light flow throughout your room.

Tip #6: Rise Up.
Your room may feel small at the moment, but purchasing long curtains can transform your room’s dimensions. You want your curtains to measure two inches above your window and let the curtains reach to the floor. This simple trick can instantly change your room!
