Interior Design - Cozy, Compact Niches With Bold Drama

By: Vickie Daeley

Every bit of space counts.

When approaching the design of a small space, there is often a simple concept that is forgotten - less is more. Instead of utilizing smaller furniture or a variety of pieces with the goal of making the room seem larger than it is, look for impact by simply using less.

Keep an open mind in regards to larger pieces. Placing a few larger pieces in the room helps the room flow more easily. The room becomes more inviting, making you feel welcome rather than looking at various smaller pieces wondering where you should sit. If furniture is selected correctly, the room can actually feel bigger than it really is.

Placing bold scaled patterns in wallpaper or dramatic wall coloring also will bring ambience to your small space while causing the room to feel inviting and gracious. However, be sure to choose a color that truly appeals to your sense of style or you may never adapt to the atmosphere.

Consider what the major use of the room will be. In the case of an office used on a full-time basis, it is significant to think about how comfortable you will feel day to day working in this room.

Depending on the amount of concentration you may need to have while in this office, you may want to consider that your color palate be more sedate, bringing you a more relaxed comfort level in order to concentrate on the matters at hand. Others may need to have a more lively room, so choosing more brilliant colors will help them stay alert.

If your space is going to be used as a part-time office, perhaps you should indulge your fantasies and go for the more brilliant color concentration. Whatever your choices, you need to be certain that you love the pieces and colors that you are utilizing in your tiny space. Consider room flow as well as function when furnishing your little niche and remember that "less" can be "more."
