Decorating A Small Room

Decorating any room can be a challenge.  It takes attention to detail and style.  It usually is something you know how to do or it isn't. Decorating a small room, however, is different.  Small rooms take much more.  You'll need a high-level of concentration, as well as dedication to solving problems while being cleaver and stylish.

A common mistake people make when buying furniture for a little room is purchasing tiny furniture.  Their thinking is sound because mentally they are trying to cope with a room that is already less than spacious.  The thought is reasonable, but not functional.  The flaw is found in comfort or more likely the lack of it.  Big or normal sized furniture will fill the room more easily, but it will also be comfortable and make you feel like you have something special.

Another thing to consider is dual-ability.  Pieces purchased for this room should have more than one use if possible.  For instance, if you need both storage and somewhere to sit, consider a storage bench. That way it is serving two necessary functions, but you've only added one thing.

Use as much of the rooms existing real estate as possible.  The walls can be used for files and unique storage.  Also, don't forget about the under the bed space too.  Now a days, stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond make these space possibilities easy and attractive; adding to the decor.

Good luck!  It's not easy, but it is doable.
