Small spaces can be functional, fun and fabulous – all that is required is a little spatial planning and some small space interior design tricks. The interior needs to be practical, make use of every inch of space, and at the same time be aesthetically pleasing.
Here are some small space interior design tricks to create the illusion of space:
- Color: Use simple wall colors to brighten the space. Lighter colors will make a room look larger and more spacious. White ceilings for instance give a feeling of more height in a room.
- Window treatments: In a small space, keep away from heavy curtains if possible. The objective is to try and let as much light in as possible.
- Mirrors: Mirrors are a wonderful way to create an illusion of space. Mirrors reflect both natural and artificial light, amplifying it throughout the room. Regardless of how large the room or how high the ceilings, mirrors have a way of making everything seem more spacious.
- Walls and doors: Consider faux iron decorative grilles for partitioning rooms. Some may even be movable or sliding to open up a space, which can then be restored to an enclosed area again.
- Skylights: Skylights are a small but effective way to flood small spaces with light and make the area seem larger.
- Furniture & Rugs: Carefully placed furniture and rugs will create zones in a small space for dining, seating, etc.
