Decorating small rooms call for a lot of creative and
practical thinking. It can be really challenging to create delightful corners
and crannies that are totally unexpected when you chance upon them.
The Kitchen
When you have a modest space in your kitchen or dining area,
turn it into a pretty spot by using just some accessories. For example, frame
two or three herb prints or a poster as wall decor. Then place a shelf below
the framed prints to carry small pots of blossoms or fresh herbs. This could turn into a tiny indoor garden for
snipping off a pinch of basil, parsley, or oregano when you need it.
A Pretty Laundry Room
Convert your laundry area into a terrific garden room. Start
by using a piece of textile you love and use it to make a customized valance
for the laundry room window. Stencil flowers designs that seemingly grows up
the wall beneath the window. A stenciled ivy vine pattern would also look nice
to decorate outside of the window frame. Position real topiary trees on any
side of the window. This cheerful makes one feel good about doing laundry more
often.
Artsy Powder Rooms
Powder rooms can be turn into art galleries. Use a framed
art piece to cover an ample portion of the wall. A framed funny postcard can
also add a touch of cheerfulness. Place small interesting items on your shelf
that might delight guests who use this room. You may use a simple window
treatment: The valance can be fabricated just by setting up lace-edged linen
napkins set on the diagonal tension rod. No sewing required. The bottom drapery
can be cafe style, covering only the lower half of the window.
