Home Decorating Ideas

* Select fewer, larger pieces of furniture to make a room appear more open and less cluttered opposed to putting lots of small pieces of furniture in the room.  Taller furniture should be placed along a far wall while shorter furniture may be placed away from the wall giving a sense of spaciousness.

* The use of screens will help divide multi-purpose rooms in a small house.  A bedroom or living room may have one corner as an office.   A screen will provide privacy as well as hiding the “trappings” of the work area.

* Daybeds with a pullout trundle are the answer for small bedrooms.  They will accommodate two people but take up less space in the room on a daily basis.  The room can also be used as an office, craft room or quiet sitting room.

* Use textures for interest in a small room.  Combining textures in your decor will give a small room interest, appeal, dimension and depth.  Choose accessories and fabrics with texture for the best impact; for example:  wrought iron, glass, stone, metal, chrome, copper, bronze, mirrors, detailed finishes, textured fabrics, shiny fabrics, and unique area rugs to mention a few.

* Mirrors are a great way to create an illusion of space.  If you have a wall in front of the entrance as you enter your home, hang a unique mirror on that wall to open it up and add interest to the area.

*Quick change artist!  Move furniture and furnishings around!  Don't be afraid to rearrange things in your home.  Just changing the accessories or pictures from room to room can bring about a huge change.
