Hey how do find the tips here?

Did u find the Decor tips good enough? Let me add in a few more to it to help you add more room to your room :-

Create multi-functional furniture. After choosing the furniture, think how multi-functional these pieces can be. You can Use an antique trunk as a coffee table. It is a great bonus spot to store infrequently accessed items such as seasonal clothing, or extra linens for guests. Opt for a platform bed with drawers in the base. Buy a desk with shallow shelves above. This maximizes the area above the desk, which would otherwise be wasted.


While choosing drapery select the ones that are nearly the same height as the room. Hang it near the ceiling regardless of the height of the window but Keep the curtain from touching the floor so that the fabric doesn’t break, as this can look heavy in a small space. Choose fabrics that allow views to the outdoors.

Here are some tips for making your small apartment seem larger than it is.

1. Choose your paint color wisely.
When choosing the color palette for a small room, choose a light color for the walls, and instead, jazz up the room with accessories in bold colors. Let the walls ‘fade-away’, and your eye travel to the objects that contain your favorite colors.

2. Paint horizontal stripes that are similar in color.If the room lacks area, paint it with large horizontal stripes that are similar in color.
If your space has low ceilings, paint vertical stripes. This gives the illusion of a taller space.

Play with different thicknesses and different spacing between the stripes throughout the room for a fun and spontaneous look.

3. Choose the right furniture.This is important. Measure your space before buying anything, and use masking tape to block out areas of an empty room that you would feel comfortable filling. Use the space for a couple of days and decide if the size of the boxed-out areas feels okay.
Bring a tape measure to the furniture store. Ask the salesperson if the furniture on the showroom floor comes in different sizes or is customizable. Also, be open to choosing something that is different than the original idea you had in your mind.

Will be back with more. Meanwhile if you have any please do share it with us.
