Design dilemmas seem to be a part of every home. From limited budgets, clashing ideas & small spaces. Here are our top 5 must-do's for small spaces:
1. Make a huge "green" statement. Don't be afraid to think big in your small space. Green foliage adds coziness to a room & looks almost like a work of art in a space.

2. Use the whole floor-to-ceiling space. Go for open,modular bookcases that goes sky high.Display your favorite books, magazines or those one-of-a-kind artifacts from your wonderful travels.

3.Mirror, mirror on the wall, floor, tabletop,etc. I know this design idea is so overused but it's because it works! Don't go overboard though. Look for 1 or 2 mirrored pieces & place them strategically across the nicest angles of your space.

4. Round about. Your boxy space needs a curvier angle. It allows your guests to move much more freely.

5.Make it invisible. Lucite is everywhere. Ghostly pieces creates the illusion that nothing's there & light just goes through. They're incredibly chic too!

I really like these ideas - especially the "tree"! Nothing says spacious like the outdoors.
I like your tips! Your design sentiments are just right up my alley! I say yes to Lucite pieces and minimalist mirrors!
M, we have been going through a 20-month-long home reno with a bad contractor. It's been so stressful for me that I haven't had the chance to really think about decor and design. We're hoping and praying that this reno will finish soon! Our family feels so helpless in the hands of this contractor.
Hi there,
You have a nice blog too! I have absolutely no business being interested in design, but somehow, I do and seem to follow a lot of designers! Count me among your followers too...
I love all the pretty stuff! =)
