Tips For Styling Small Spaces

Small spaces can be a little tricky to decorate, which is why getting creative and big on ideas is a must! Whether you’re into a more minimalist approach, or are living in a studio apartment, we’ve got a few ideas that will help turn your space into one that’s efficient, stylish, and of most importantly, homely.

Opting For A Large-Scale Rug

When it comes to flooring, choosing the right rug is important. From its size, to its finish, a rug can serve many purposes while tying a room together. Whether it’s plain, patterned, or textured, a rug will provide extra warmth, protection and cosiness to your space and can act as either a feature or background piece to complete an overall look.

In terms of sizing, we recommend going for one that is large enough for most of your furniture to sit on, or wall-to-wall as a tiny rug can make the room feel equally small.

Reflecting Light

Another little trick with small spaces is the use of mirrors. By featuring floor mirrors, or hanging mirrors in your interior, it helps reflect the light and creates an illusion of the room looking and feeling bigger than it actually is.

Mirrors are also a great way to incorporate unique shapes and colour without creating clutter and minimising your space.

Pops of Colour and Pattern

Playing around with colour and pattern can help determine the theme of your space, as well as its mood — depending on what you choose. When choosing a Weave cushion, it’s important to consider your room’s colour palette to ensure longevity. Plains such as our Como range are a great option as they are timeless and can be easily paired back with other colours, textures and patterns.

 

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to go a little bold however, we recommend featuring patterned cushions in different prints in the same tones for a more put-together look. It’s all a matter of proportion and maintaining balance within your space, and when done right, it can create unique and striking interior styles.

Make It Cosy

From boucle and velvet cushions, to soft cotton throws, texture is everything when it comes to creating a cosy environment. Adding a soft-touch rug is also another great way of bringing extra depth, dimension and warmth to your space.
