Too often a small room in a home becomes a ‘dump and leave zone’, the door is closed and it becomes a forgotten space, wasted. With a few clever tricks, the same room can become a warm feature in your home, to be enjoyed regularly. Colour choices can make a room appear very different, especially when it comes to paint. This one choice can make a small room airy, yet cosy; and an intimate and beautiful place all in one smart move. Unified colours used throughout the extra touches and furnishings also visually expands a room.
The use of natural light or artificial lighting can make dramatic change in bringing about the sensation of being in a larger area.
Along with a lot of other practical ideas, you are on your way to redeeming the small room.
