Designing for Small Spaces
If you have a small space but big ideas, try to stick to the following key points in order to make maximum use of space and convey a sense of size. Firstly, don't clutter. A small number of items on a table draws attention to the objects and opens up the room. Try to avoid large patterns and intense colours as these can make a small space seem even smaller. Finally choose furniture that has a dual purpose. For example, a chest can serve both for storage and as a seat. Where limited space is an issue, dual function rooms are the ideal use of resources. What is normally the dining table in the evening can serve as the office desk during the working day.
