On the other hand, choosing items such as folding tables is also a wise decision because they can be used as side tables or serving trays, as long as the bases are can be folded.

Reduce clutter
Small rooms should not be filled with clutter. Primarily so, it is advisable to keep minimal accessories, especially those that are not used frequently.

It is all about having items that can serve more than one purpose.

Use all colors
Most people tend to be afraid of bold and dark colors when they are decorating small rooms. However, bold patters when combined with dark colors can have a significant impact on your smaller room. They can make the small space you have to look larger. In the end, you will achieve a room that is not only lively but also attractive. You only have to select the right combination of colors.

Concentrate on vertical decoration
Items such as shelves and other related units can be positioned in a vertical manner so as to create more space. It is obvious that most people recognize the space on the floor, but they have never thought that the space above can also be useful. For instance, you can take all the window treatments up to the ceiling and still achieve a remarkable appearance. It helps to make the wall look taller thereby creating more space.

Maximum use of the wall
The walls can be used to create extra storage space for small items. This is easily achievable if you erect shelves on the wall in order create more space on the floor. The wall can be a great place to hang lamps and have shelves for storing items such as books. The space near the door can have shelves for storing items such as keys and mails. The space underneath can therefore be used for other purposes such as the storage of shoes and bags.

Hiding the unattractive storage
There are things in the house that can be very unattractive, especially when they are disorganized. All these items that do not look organized can be hidden by placing a beautiful piece of fabric on top of them.
