    In some way decorating a small space can be harder than decorating a larger space, because of the limited space you need to consider furniture, and light.

    Here are just three simple tips for decorating a small space.

    1. Spaces saving furniture, this can make all the difference to a room, take a bed, if it is a normal bed then you require storage and therefore this will reduce the space in the room and close it in, so a platform bed would the solution here, they come in all shapes and sizes, they also have different configurations to include a wardrobe, drawers and desk.

    2. When it comes to painting, start by looking at the ceiling, you will need to work your way down from the top, this can include putting up shelving, placing the TV on a bracket fixed to the wall and virtual anything that can lifted up from the floor onto the wall, again like music systems, by having this stuff wall mounted, not only looks great, but frees up space on the floor.

    3. It is essential to work out the furniture against the size of the walls, you do not what to be putting small furniture along big, high and long walls, and the same goes for opposite, large furniture against a small can be equally as bad, it just uses up all the space.

    In order to work all this out, all you do is to think the room over, do not rush, it s not a race, and few moments of thinking and working things out can make all the difference to the end result.
