Decorating a small space

Hey Guys!


I’m sorry for the late post tonight, but late is better than nothing right? I’ve been busy all day with no time to sit down and write for yall.


Today I’m going to pretend I’m a decorator and talk about how to decorate a small place.


I have a small bedroom, with a lot of windows so I had to get creative in terms of decoration. I was able to come up with multiple different ways and today I a going to show you my top 5 favorite decorating tips for a small room.


All the pictures I am using I have taken myself and this is solely my opinion, no one helped me come up with this, but I do know that some of the tips are common and used frequently. This is just what has worked for me and to hopefully give someone some inspiration. All opinions are my own and credit is given to whoever originally ame up with these ideas!

  1. Tapestries Rule - I have a Harry Potter Tapestry that covers a great portion of my window wall. This is not only grea as a decoration piece, but it also blocks out the sun. I chose something so big because it covers a large area and it looks good with my room. Tapestries look great and can really bring a whole room together
  2. Display the shoes! - I am IN LOVE with Converse sneakers. They are practically the only shoe I wear, and I am known for them amongst my friends. I took a wine rack which is typically used for storing wine (DUH) and put my converse in there. They fit perfectly and I believe it adds a really cool unique touch to the room. Not only are all my shoes in one place, but the pops of color from the different shoes tie the whole room together.
  3. Picture walls - I love getting pictures from my students (I teach Sunday School), I love hanging my artwork and I also love the Beatles. When moving into this small space I had to think about what to do with all my decorations and such. I saw that there was a built in book shelf with the room, so I made that the accent wall of my room. I have all of my books (I can do a book collection) as well as pictures, artwork, and my Beatles poster all up for everyone to se. The decorations take pretty much the entire wall, but everyone that has come over loves the wall full of things, and I love how it is the main focus of the room.
  4. Animals Rock - I love animals, so much. I have a siberian husky, but I am also in love with pugs, so after shopping at TJMaxx, I saw that they has a pug bag and I bought it and hung it up in my room to display. It looks cute in my opinion, and it also hides the messiness of the drawers I refuse to clean. It’s a win-win!
  5. Keep hanging things! I love having things on my walls, I like how it all ties together and how it all looks cool, but the limited wall space kind of didn’t allow it. So instead what I did was, I used the normal plastic window blinds and hung different things on it with paper clips. It is so durable and steady! I was super amazed!! I have a bunch of things on that window and it all looks good (at least in my opinion).


Remember that sometimes we need to get creative on how we decorate and we need to learn how to find the tips and tricks that will work for our individual rooms, because it is very rare that one thing accommodates everyone.


That’s all for today!
