Idea’s to Decorate a Small House

Smaller homes and apartments provide a great opportunity to create cozy, inviting spaces, if you follow some basic do's and don'ts. They also give you the opportunity to live smarter, by reducing any unnecessary items that will cause clutter. The enemy of any small home or apartment is clutter. Having too much stuff around is not only frustrating in a small space, but it will make everything appear even smaller. When decorating a small house, do de-clutter. Start by giving away or recycling anything you haven't used in the past six months. Now is the time to shed any items that you have never liked as well

Decorating Tips and Tricks 

1. Decorators have many tricks to make a living space appear larger than it is. One way to maximize your interior is by using variations of the same color throughout. Don't paint each room a different color; instead, use different shades of the same color to make your house seem bigger. This especially makes sense if you have an open floor plan, where many rooms are visible to each other.
2. Another trick when decorating a small house is to let light in. You can do this through lamps or recessed lighting, or by selecting lighter drapes that allow more of the sun's rays inside

Furnishing 

When it comes to furnishing a small living space, it is important to commit to either smaller pieces or larger pieces. If you opt for smaller-scale furniture when decorating your small house, you are more likely to have everything fit the space. The key is to not go overboard with too many smaller pieces so that you do not end up looking cluttered.
