Furniture has moved past the purpose of pure function. Furniture is now used to draw attention to certain design features of the room. Contemporary or modern decor can be brought into any room with the proper accent furniture.

Accent Tables

Accent tables are perfect for filling an unused corner or displaying a room’s focal point. There are a number of styles, from antique to modern, to fit any number of room designs. Fancy or simple, accent tables can do a great deal to individualize a room.

Accent Chairs

Chairs are no longer just for sitting in. Now they can be used to highlight a certain room feature or draw attention to a design element. Contemporary or classic designs are just two of the popular design styles you can find.

Accent Mirrors

Mirrors are great features in any room. Large and small mirrors can be used for design elements. The reflective surface can lighten a room and even make it seem larger. With proper placement, mirrors can do more to breathe life into a room than fresh paint.

Accent furniture can add a dramatic touch to a room. It can also be subtle and serve a utilitarian function. The choices are as numerous as a home owner’s own decorating tastes.

Decorate to Make a Small Space Seem Larger

Many homeowners today have not had the great fortune to build their own dream homes. Instead, most of us have purchased homes built years ago which creates the issue of having to accept things the way they are unless we can do a home remodeling project to make big changes.

Small rooms are often part of the package when we purchase a pre-owned home. If knocking out walls is not in the near future for you, here are some tips to help you create the look of a larger room in a small space.

Paint with Lighter, Brighter Colors

Lighter colors reflect more light than darker colors and help to enhance the effect of natural light as well. When choosing your wall colors for small rooms, think light and bright.

Painting Your Moldings

Many people choose white molding and you can’t go wrong with this option if your room is small. Even if you choose off-white or a creamy shade lighter than your walls, you will be going in the right direction.

Choose Furniture That Fits the Room Size

Obviously, if you put big overstuffed furniture into a small room, you won’t have much space left. So go for the furniture that is more suitable for a smaller area. Stick with simple lines and slim shapes to optimize your space.
