Get Design Wise

Throw out the rulebook and sneak up on compact spaces with innovative touches. About time “small” stops dictating how stylish our homes can be

CEILING ILLUSION

*LOOK UPWARD

This is a sneaky yet functional way to introduce the double D’s of design — drama and depth. Wallpapers in geometric prints will play tricks on the eye when applied onto the ceiling. It exaggerates the ceiling-to-floor ratio and also, you can pepper a bit of your zany personality into your humble square footage. Think psychedelic, why not?

DIVIDER RULES

SHAPE SHIFTERS

It’s been around for a while now, but as a room divider, acrylic is the new darling material in design. These sheets are smart, nifty weapons, and it helps that they are easy on the eye. Acrylic room dividers enable the transmission of filtered light between areas and allow a continuous field of vision.... It’s a great solution when planning tricky, compact spaces.
