I know a lot of people do not have enough space for a "formal" dining room, but if you can find a corner for a table with one or two chairs, go for it ! Think cozy yet practical...a place to rest your plate is very valuable indeed !
Before you bring stuff into your already small space, look around and see what you already have first. Grandma's teapot just sitting around? Put some pretty flowers in it! Tight fit for a bedside table? Grab a chair! Decor does not always have to be expensive to be beautiful !
People who have small spaces sometimes back away from bold patterns and colors. Right now budgets are tight, so look to spruce up the things you already have. Don't design for others, design for YOU !!!
Just because your place is small does not mean you can't make a impact with your design. People often make the mistake of not using larger pieces, thinking it will take up too much space. Not true !!
Hi all! Sorry about my lack of post, I was on vacation over the fourth. Anyways, I spent a lot of times outdoors. One thing my eye is always drawn to is string lights. I love the vibe they give off. I have my eye on a tree in my yard that would look great ! How do you "light" your outdoor spaces ??
If you have limited space outside (and yes I know a lot of people have NO outdoor space) but if you are limited, a table for just two is always a good thing. If you can't have a party for 30 at least you have a spot for a great conversation one on one!
I love looking at other peoples home office. I can get tons of ideas from home office pictures. I read a story the other day that the desk top computer will soon be dead. I'm sure that will change home decor somehow, but, you always will need a desk right ??
When you do not have a lot of space to begin with, its hard to know how to blend rooms that spill into each other. The first thing I do when planning a room is ask myself exactly HOW is this rooom going to be used. Every inch in a small home or apartment is valuable space that you don't want to waste ! Washing machines are now making there way to bathrooms and kitchens. Thinking differently about how we live is very important in small space planning !
