Small Space Styling: Part 2

Learn how to style SMALL SPACES!

It really is the best way to start creating a home you love when you are overwhelmed.

Your small space doesn’t have to be symmetrical. In fact, I think a bit of asymmetry makes a space more warm and cozy.

Instead, focus on creating a balanced space by evening out heavier items on each side with varying height, texture, or weight of your decor pieces. In this space, I offset the focal mirror piece and balanced the space with a taller ceramic pot to one side and 2 heavier, layered art prints to the other. I filled in the gaps with similar size and colored pieces to finish the look.

... Read moreWhen it comes to small space styling, understanding the dynamics of space and balance is essential. Not only does creating a cozy home enhance your living experience, but it also reflects your unique style. As noted in the article, asymmetry can significantly contribute to a warmer ambiance compared to a strictly symmetrical layout. By strategically placing decor items of varying heights and textures, you can guide the eye through the room, creating visual interest and depth. Consider incorporating elements such as layered art and statement mirrors to serve as focal points. Mirrors, in particular, can enhance light and provide an illusion of expanded space. In addition to utilizing these design techniques, keeping your decor cohesive in color schemes creates a harmonious flow. Opt for complementary color palettes that align with the overall mood you want to convey, whether modern or vintage. Remember that functionality is equally important in small spaces; multi-purpose furniture can be both stylish and space-saving. Embrace affordability by exploring thrift stores or budget-friendly retailers for unique finds that fit your vision. Follow the Small Space Styling Series for more tips and inspiration to cultivate an inviting environment that resonates with your personal style and comforts, turning your small home into a cozy retreat.
