WAYS TO MAXIMIZE SMALL SPACES

Use Bigger - But Fewer Furnishings:  Outfitting a small space with just a few large-scale pieces can actually make the room feel grander.  Don't be afraid of filling up the space. When a room is populated with furniture, it actually feels larger.

Visual Continuity Creates Calm:  Soothing, even-toned rooms fool the eye into thinking they're more spacious than they really are.

Make Every Piece Count:  Choose furnishings and decorative elements that offer maximum functionality and minimal square footage. For example, use two small round tables instead of one big coffee table.  They're better for traffic flow and easier to move.

Customize:  Built-ins, storage nooks, and furniture tailored to exact needs can utilize every available sliver of space.

Think Vertically:  Take bookcases and cabinets all the way up.

Edit:  You don't have to display everything.  Keep things uncluttered.  Don't fill every inch when accessorizing shelves.  Group your collections to give them room to "breathe".
