It’s the fear of breaking some unwritten design rule that makes us far less confident when we’re decorating small spaces. When you’re told that less sizeable rooms should be as bright and airy as possible, to maximize light and cheat perceptions of its size, it makes turning to darker colors and even the subtlest of patterns a little daunting.
But of course, many interior design rules are there to be broken – and thankfully, there’s a gold mine of small space ideas from the top interior designers that show us that things can be different. Even the boxiest of box rooms can take a pattern, and you certainly don’t need to adopt a minimalist approach to the fun trimmings like curtains and artwork. Small spaces are as fair game as larger ones – and their limited size can make being a little more creative even more fun.
