The definition of a nest is: “A snug retreat or refuge,
a resting place, a home.” No matter how large or small your nest
is, one of the most exciting things to do is to decorate your nest according
to your own taste, personality or lifestyle. But what if your Nest is
so tiny that you are faced with the challenge of decorating with no room
to do so? Well, welcome the challenge with open arms, and you will discover
that with some creativity your tiny nest can be utilized to be the perfect
“home.”
Here are some helpful
tips in decorating a small space:

Get
Rid Of Extra Clutter
Declutter your sweet little nest by getting rid of objects that
just take up space and are of no use to you. This process will not
only give you physical room for decorating and utilizing your space,
but surprisingly will uplift your emotional spirit as well, guaranteed!
If you do however feel compelled to keep some objects or knick knacks
that you just can not part with, wall shelving such as the Lorenzo
Wall Lattice, would be helpful in maintaining a clutter-free
environment.
Create
Illusion with Color
By choosing the right paint color you can project the illusion of
a larger space, as well as create a mood in any room of your nest.
By painting two opposite walls the same color, ideally a deep rich
color, a feeling of depth will be created and your tiny space will
look larger.

Mirror
On The Wall
Mirrors are another great way to provide the illusion of space by
providing a way for you to play with light and reflections. For
a more retro inspired home the Crono
Oval Mirror will provide the perfect look and function. The
Kenshoma Square Mirror
is another unique mirror perfect for a bedroom or a living room
made of hand woven hyacinth on a teak wood frame.100% handmade and
perfect for any modern setting.
You can never
have too many mirrors!

Use
Larger Furniture
In order to create the illusion of a larger space, use larger scaled
furniture to decorate. The” less is more” approach should
also be followed; a common misconception that can often be debated
is that filling up a space with lots of smaller pieces will make
the room appear bigger, where on the contrary the mixing of smaller
pieces of furniture tends to make a room look much smaller, congested,
and claustrophobic. The Harmony
sofa, with its chic, mod look is perfect in providing the look
of a larger scaled piece of furniture, allowing the space to look
larger. Also, opt for solid colored upholstery, no patterns please.
Patterns will just provide a more cluttered look.

Hide
The Chords
Minimize the look of clutter by providing a hiding place for electronics,
gadgets, CDs and DVDs. The Legare
24 x 53” media stand will provide the perfect storage
space for your TV, small speakers, DVD’s or CDs on its four
outer shelves.

Multifunctional
Furniture
Another way to enlarge and take full advantage of the space provided
in your sweet nest is by selecting furniture that serves more than
one purpose, the two for one deal. Examples of such marvels are: the
ultra mod Futaba Coffee
Table which easily converts into a loveseat, ideal for a small
setting. The Futaba is made of hand crafted bamboo plywood which can
be upholstered in your choice of Carnegie fabric. A futon is another
great choice for a small space. The Morph
futon sofa, an ultra stylish sofa which easily converts to a bed,
allows for a quick transformation from living room to bedroom in a
jiffy. |

Create
A Mood With Light
Allow lamps and chandeliers to help you create a mood and atmosphere
in your space. The right light can really change the look of the room,
whether it is lit or just on display. The BigMod
Sputnik Lamp for example, will transform a setting, making it
the focal point in any space and creating an illuminated wonderland.
Enjoy
Your Space
Go ahead and relax in your large or small nest, after all this is
the place you call home… |
