Decorating in a Small Space

When the room you are designing is spatially challenged it is important to make the right design choices in order to create an illusion of space.

Furniture can play a key role in maximising space. Innovative space saving storage systems are a good choice as they allows all clutter to be out of sight. Less is more, so keep furniture to a minimum and incorporate pieces such as fold up beds, extending tables and streamlined chairs.

When decorating a small space, select a colour which will reflect as much light as possible. Mirrors also play a key role in achieving this. Whether you choose readymade or made to measure curtains it are important to balance the textures of the furnishings. So pick colours of the same tone as opposed to having contrasting colours and patterns.

Small spaces, when given the correct treatment, can become a useable and comfortable area without feeling claustrophobic. Even the smallest room can be supersized.

A New Approach to Interior Design

This week saw the introduction of a new application for the Apple iPhone, which allows anyone to dabble in the world of interior design.

Mydeco allows the user to view a layout of their room and download a selection of furniture to see how it would look. A colour scheme can also be accessed to enable you to make the right decision. Images can then be emailed to friends or posted on Facebook for feedback.

Using the iPhone it is also possible to access the internet, thus allowing you to make further choices for the layout of your room from carpets through to made to measure curtains. Whether this app turns out to be successful remains to be seen, but it certainly allows anyone to develop a flair for interior design.

Kelly Hoppen Trends for 2010

This month saw celebrity designer Kelly Hoppen revealing what she sees as the key trends in interior design for 2010.

Hoppen claims that "neutrals still rock". Whether you’re choosing fabric, made to measure curtains or just deciding on which accessories you need to revamp a look, neutral colours still remain the fashion.

Kelly adds that despite the recession "people still want luxury". The way forward, Kelly foresees this year, in terms of interior design, is "linear shabby chic". She adds that people want their homes to look "lived in and a bit creased but with a defined edginess to it".
