Interior Design - Cozy, Compact Niches With Bold Drama
Get the most out of every inch of space.
When approaching the design of a small space, there is often a simple concept that is forgotten - less is more. Instead of utilizing smaller furniture or a variety of pieces with the goal of making the room seem larger than it is, look for impact by simply using less.
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.
Placing bold scaled patterns in wallpaper or dramatic wall coloring also will bring ambience to your small space while causing the room to feel inviting and gracious. However, be sure to choose a color that truly appeals to your sense of style or you may never adapt to the atmosphere.
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.
