Decorating small spaces
Warm weather often inspires renewed vigor in decorating
or organizing a home. People who live in apartments, small
homes or condos or those who have embraced the “tiny
house” movement must rely on clever decorating to maxi-
mize their spaces. Here are some ideas when space is at a
premium.
· Go vertical. Utilize vertical space, such as lights hung
on a wall beside a bed instead of lamps on a nightstand or
bookshelves and other shelving to keep items off of the floor.
· Bench seating: Benches can provide more seating when
entertaining guests and also can be moved to the living room
or elsewhere as needed. Place a small bench in a foyer and
put some wicker bins beneath for storage.
· Utilize natural light. Rooms that have ample light can
seem more spacious. Pull up blinds (or skip them if privacy
isn’t an issue) and use the sunshine to help spaces appear
more airy.
