5 Tips for Decorating Small Spaces

Published: March 01, 2022

One of the best parts of moving is decorating your new place. There are endless options; it’s like working with a blank canvas! But what happens if you have to decorate a small space? Consider these tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Central Iowa!

Space it Out

Clumping everything together is one of the quickest methods to make a little room feel even more cramped. Make sure that everything is evenly dispersed throughout the space, whether it’s coffee table books, wall hangings, or vases. And especially avoid concentrating your attention on the center of the space – place your decorations farther apart to give a wider and sweeping appearance.

Focus on the Walls

Because you’ll most likely have a lot of floor and furniture space constraints, concentrate on wall décor. Whether you prefer a traditional design, art deco, or prefer to stick to family photos, there are several innovative ways to decorate with wall art.

Invest in Lighting

Consider using beautiful lighting fixtures to help make your area appear more open and airy. Floor and table lamps, as well as little chandeliers, are some examples of lighting fixtures that you might use. The greater amount of light you provide into the space, the better.

Utilize Mirrors

Mirrors along the walls may be used to further reflect light into the space and provide a more comprehensive look. Not only will this make the area seem larger, but it will also give it an old-fashioned elegance that never goes out of style.
