Designing for Small Spaces

Focus on simplicity. Visual unity among decorations enables the room to maintain a sense of class, without becoming cluttered and closed in. The details, furnishings and decorations, should be simple and balance each other.

Paint and color easily achieve this consistency. Paint only one wall a rich color, leaving the rest neutral.

Most of the color palette of the room should be neutral adding to the sense of space. Use darker and richer colors as accents. Cool colors, like blue and green, are best for a smaller room, as they are distance colors.
