When decorating small spaces, how you approach your ceilings, walls and flooring can make a huge difference.
Paint colours can make rooms look bigger and brighter when used to elongate a room, with perhaps a dark floor leading up to a paler ceiling.
Unite with a theme and be surprising; clapboard walls or wide wooden floorboards used as wall coverings give a delightful snug feel.
Flooring for small spaces is a chance to spend a bit more on a higher ticket material such as parquet flooring. Or paint existing boards and brighten up with rugs for small rooms in a bold stripe pattern.
Play with scale – don’t think that your rug needs to be tiny. Even just an inch of bare floorboards will make it look exclusive and pulled together.
