No matter how many stars we wish upon, most of us remain without our mansion at the top of the hill. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t appreciate our small spaces just as much as the massive ones in our dreams. In fact, there are tons of decorating tips to keep your tinier dwellings feeling like the palace you’ve always wanted. Whether it’s furniture with hidden storage, slim versions of appliances you can’t find the space for, or accents and details you can invest in to make your room feel larger no matter what you fill it with—here are our 15 favorite home decor ideas for small spaces.
Before you fill your home with anything, consider the walls. A fun print will work wonders at instantly opening up a space, no matter how small it might be. And if you’re not ready to fully commit to plastering on a pattern, consider removable wallpaper rolls.
Include some living room furniture that you can fill with items that otherwise clutter—with guests being none the wiser. Shop for for an upholstered bench with a top that lifts to reveal a large storage area inside.
Tables (or chairs!) that you can see right through will decrease visual clutter, making a small space seem more open. This console is A++ in a tight entryway—you can stow shoes in storage bins underneath—or put a pair side-by-side behind your couch.
How can you triple your table space without adding more clutter? With nesting tables. Not only do they add unique detail and shape to your space when nested, but when you have guests over, you can pull them out from one another and spread them around the room.
In convertible spaces, like a coffee table, trays are a godsend. They’re a fun and decorative way to keep all of your trinkets and table knick-knacks in one place—and they make for easy moving when you want to use that space for something else once guests show up.
