Don't limit your decorating options unnecessarily simply because you're decorating a small room. You still have many options to choose from. Here are some tricks of the trade to help you open up a small space. Use Consistent Patterns Use a pattern, but make sure it helps the eye travel completely around the room. Use the pattern on the wall, then bring it into the room by covering a pillow or chair in the same fabric. Use Multifunctional Furniture Any piece of furniture that can do double duty will save space. Use Mirrors Mirrors reflect light and create a "view," giving the impression that open space lies beyond. A great design idea is to create a gallery wall of mirrors, old and new, in a variety of styles. Use Glass Glass allows the eye to travel around a room uninterrupted and helps lighten heavy furnishings. Objects placed on glass seem to float in space; glass-topped tables are perfect for showing off beautiful rugs and floor treatments.
