Small Space, Big Style
Three Essential Design Tips for Small Spaces
When designing a small space, every inch counts! Thoughtful choices in layout, furniture, and color can transform even the most compact areas into stunning, functional retreats. At Hurlbutt Designs, we specialize in creating elegant interiors that maximize beauty and efficiency. Here are three essential design tips to help you make the most of your small space.
1. Maximize Vertical Space
Think beyond the floor plan—your walls are valuable real estate! Incorporating shelves, wall hooks, and tall bookcases allows you to take advantage of vertical space without cluttering the room. In this charming mudroom, built-in shelving and hooks keep essentials organized, while decorative accents like woven baskets add warmth and texture.
2. Choose Multifunctional Furniture
When space is at a premium, every piece of furniture should serve a dual purpose. A well-chosen antique trunk, like the one used in this coastal-inspired sitting area, can act as both a stylish coffee table and a hidden storage solution. Whether storing blankets, games, or seasonal décor, multifunctional pieces bring both charm and practicality to a space.
3. Keep It Light
Color plays a major role in how we perceive space. Light hues, especially whites and soft neutrals, create an airy, expansive feel. Painting walls and ceilings the same light shade ensures a seamless, uncluttered look. In this serene bedroom retreat, crisp whites and soft blues complement the natural light, making the room feel larger while maintaining a cozy, coastal elegance.
With the right design choices, even the smallest spaces can feel open, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. Looking for expert guidance on your next home project? Hurlbutt Designs is here to help you craft a space that reflects your style while maximizing functionality.
