Make Use of Corners

This often-overlooked area can be a great spot to squeeze in an extra accent chair or a corner bookshelf, making your room more liveable. Or tuck a cozy chair in a corner to create an instant reading nook.

Trick a Small Space into Feeling Bigger

Use transparent tables in small spaces to give them an uncluttered feel.

Hang Curtains High

Curtains hung well above the window impart airiness and height.

Sneak in Some Storage

An easy way to keep a small room from becoming cluttered is to choose furniture with space to store objects, like a coffee table with a shelf below, a bench with bins underneath, and an ottoman with a removable top and empty space inside. Note how this work space/dining space has clever cubbies to stash belongings.
