Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects There are many options when one has to decorate a small room. These ideas are built on the principle of keeping all aspects of the decor as minimal and connected as possible. Since this is the look I prefer in any room, small rooms are never a challenge and I even prefer them. choose a monochromatic colour scheme (as above) , or a neutral one with pops of colour keep accessories in one colour range (in this room it's brass) use multipurpose furniture ( stacking tables) consider adding a shelf for storage/display to move things off the floor use multipurpose accessories (lamp that looks like a sculpture; interesting mirror instead of art work; beautiful boxes that can be used for storage use many textures instead of bold patterns (in pillows, window treatments) use furniture that is in proportion to the room keep the lines of larger pieces simple when choosing artwork focus on one striking piece and have anything else play a supporting role. use strong verticals to move your eye up (long drapes, vertical art work, tall slim lamps) use your window as a backdrop for the placement of a prominent piece of furniture (bed i or chair)
