Home Decor For A Large Or Small Space

By Suki Mulberg Altamirano


Home decor reflects the style and personalities of the people inhabiting the space. Choosing an appropriate decoration can be a challenge without knowing where to start. Understanding the space that one is working with, the amount of money that they have to spend, and the colors that they like is the first place to start.

Knowing the amount of money available for a project is essential before beginning any task. There are many things that a person can do to change the look of their home even if they do not have a lot of money. Repainting the walls a fresh color, swapping area rugs or getting new curtains can create a drastic difference without a lot of expense. Whether a large or small budget, prioritizing tasks will ensure that the most important projects get done.

A small space requires congruency and openness. One can achieve this by choosing color schemes within the same family. Choosing a neutral wall color with bolder accent pillows can be appealing. Individuals can use a bolder color in smaller spaces, but it needs to be strategically placed to avoid giving the appearance of a smaller room. Choosing a color scheme that matches and using smaller items around the house will help it to feel open and inviting.

If the space is larger than individuals may decide to use bolder colors throughout. Adding larger accent pieces may be appropriate. Individuals will want to give a nice flow to the house, whether large or small. Therefore, when deciding on color it is important to make sure that the scheme flows from room to room.

Choosing a color palate that compliments the style of the owner is important. Individuals can use bold colors along with softer neutrals if the color scheme is within the same family. Bolder colors might work well in a room that is to be the focal point. Be sure that any connecting rooms have a color that compliments the boldness.

The appropriate home decor is determined by the style of the person who will live in the space. Whatever style is used, the house should be inviting.Determining cost and ambiance will help the individual create an atmosphere that is conducive to their style.
