Welcome

Small rooms need to feel as big as possible, so choose lighter colours and forget about filling them with accessories or ornaments. Stick to essential items, whether they are the bed, couches or tables—and make sure that space is left to move around in the room. With a combination of light colours and natural light, any room can feel welcoming and spacious, even if this is just an illusion. You might also consider having a few fold-down chairs or tables instead of permanent furnishings. When these are needed, they can be easily unfolded, but at other times they won’t occupy precious space.
