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.
