Decorating your home can be an exciting, yet terrifying and daunting task at the same time. When it comes to all the things you can do with space, the possibilities seem endless. Small spaces can be challenging to furnish, but they have a lot of potential. With the right strategies, you might be surprised how much style you can fit into a tiny home. There are several mistakes one should avoid to make their house look strange, clumsy and small. Of course, nobody wants their house to look like this. Here are a few interior decorating dos and don’ts that will help you keep your home looking beautiful, grand and luxurious.
Do’s:
Hang curtains wide and high in front of windows
Curtains not only increase privacy or block extra light, but they also add to the overall aesthetic of the room. The right type of curtains can add character and glitter to a room’s interior. But that is not everything. It’s also important to think about how you hang or drape them. Hang the curtains higher and wider than the window level to make your living space look luxurious and stylish.
Connect with color
A consistent color scheme is often the simplest and most effective common thread. It doesn’t mean that all your walls have to be the same color, but when the physical distance between rooms is small, subtle and gradual color changes work best. If you’re going with multiple wall colors, make sure the moldings and borders are the same color.
Add multiple light sources
Multiple light sources are beneficial in rooms larger than six feet square (a 6×6 room). Start your lighting design with an overhead fixture, ideally one with multiple bulbs. Additional wall and table luminaires can be used to illuminate dark areas. Place light fixtures diagonally to cancel out shadows and increase overall brightness.

do not:
Don’t dress windows too tight
Simple window coverings are often preferred in small rooms. Venetian blinds or roman blinds offer a simple solution for privacy and light control during the day without being visually heavy. Go for simple drapery panels that can be used to soften the room’s architecture without crowding it.
Don’t choose a rug that doesn’t fit the room
Carpets are often used in apartments to make them look more aesthetically pleasing. However, when it comes to rugs, you also need to consider size and dimension. When you choose a small area rug to hide under all your living room furniture, it gives the room a dwarf look. The rule is to buy a rug that is in proportion and floats a few inches below the furniture.
