Decorating a small living space can be a bit of a challenge. You want to make it beautiful and interesting, but not seem cluttered. Here are some simple tips to add personality and character to your small living space:

• Show It Off: Collect all your treasured books, photos, and objects and display them on floor-to-ceiling cubby shelves. This will create a conversation area as well as provide some much needed storage.

• Lighten It Up: Use mirrors in varying shapes and sizes to add character as well as reflect light throughout your space.

• Get Colourful: Don’t assume that colours and patterns will make your space feel smaller. Actually, furniture in colourful hues and bold patterned pillows and rugs will make a big impact in a small space.
• Go Green: Adding a touch of greenery by bringing in natural or artificial houseplants can add instant warmth to any space.

• Add Ottomans: These can perform double or triple duty such as extra seating, footrests, and even coffee tables, when you add a tray on top. They can also add a pop if colour to your space.

Creating a space that’s full of character and reflects your unique personality doesn’t take Magic, just a little Smart Styling...Just remember, SMALL doesn’t have to mean BORING!!
