I live in a small home and I realized I can't just have random decor around that serves no purpose other than visual. Like huge vsses, concrete balls on the floor, statues, knick knacks, etc. Make my rooms feel cluttered and messy, even when the pieces are high end quality. Even too many throws and designer pillows make my space look unkempt. Suggestions??, other than buying a mansion.

I have a lounge room that you can’t put anything against a wall without it covering doors, windows, walkways or the wood heater. By painting the two tone walls and trims white and hanging the black curtain rods at the ceiling, it’s added about 1ft of height to the room and it doesn’t feel like it needs a lot in it now. It had roller blinds before and they didn’t help. I’ve done the same thing in the smaller bedroom and am starting on the bathroom. I couldn’t believe the magical effect. By having less in the space the things you do have will look more intentional. It’s true that having the neutral colour palette has a calming effect (and this is from a girl that loves colour). 😊

Yes use mirrors, they’re great, reflect light and make rooms feel bigger and lighter.

Look into “knolling”. It’s like finding/creating beauty in functional items simply in the way you store or display them. An example is how people displayed their copper colored jello molds on their kitchen walls in the fifties, or those peg boards people have and curate in garages or home offices.

A few good tips here. It would've been really helpful to actually see photos of small spaces though! So yes to a small space video 🙂. Showing how to furnish/decorate a small room where you are really limited on where you can put furniture would be great too, for example in my lounge there's only one wall I can put the sofa or the armchair, in my bedroom, there's only one wall I can put the wardrobes as I'd have to cut the end of the windowsill off to fit in a wardrobe but it means then that the bed and bedside tables are squashed together as the door opens onto them on the other wall. And try getting a bed frame that you like that's short enough so the wardrobe doors opposite it don't bash into the bed when you open them! Welcome to English homes 😁. A video helping with stylish suitable small room furniture would be fab x

We downsized our house and now every room must have at least two ways it can be used. My dining room is also a mini library and contains two comfy wing back chairs for reading. I bought a narrow farm table so it wouldn’t take up too much room. It looks like an old library table. I also use the room as my photography studio when I do still life work. So that room has 3 functions. My old house was so much bigger and had rooms that only got used at Christmas. Waste of space. I’m also enjoying my lower utility bills

Today I’m assembling a new office desk with black U shape legs and a kitchen bench top in the best faux grey marble laminate best print I’ve ever seen and you can’t tell unless you look at the 3 sides that are against the walls or up close for the repeat pattern. It’s 2.4m x 60cm and looks modern and lux. I had the new bench top in storage so it’s only cost me AUD $115 for the legs. I’d never have thought of doing this if it wasn’t for Valentina. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤

Those were great ideas Valentina. However, I personally wouldn't consider the rooms you showed to be "small spaces". I live in a 1,400 sq ft., 3 bedroom ranch, and can barely fit a queen sized bed, nighstand, and bureau in each bedroom. While the rooms you showed looked gorgeous, I could never cram all that furniture and decor in any of my rooms because it wouldnt fit or would look too cluttered.

I love your new channel/s and expansion of content.

I see our ideas of small spaces are very different. Those pictures you’re showing I’d kill for that much space. When u live in a small place (like my London flat) everything you own has to serve double duty. Owning an item just bc it’s aesthetically pleasing is not an option, it must do that and have a function. You don’t need more useless crap to clutter and clean.

Definitely need more small room videos. We have 3 rooms, each 16x16, one is kitchen/dining/living rooms combined with area reserved to build stairs; one is the bedroom/bathroom/closet; one is laundry & storage/library/office/sewing&craft. Im looking for a tapestry to hang in front of the television in the living area and ordering a loveseat and ottomans. Area is too small for chairs so ottomans will provide extra seating. The library combo room is the next to design. Hoping to move in by mid February

I have a brain injury. My house is just a hair above tiny house size. Ive kept mt colors soothing in the same tone. I have a couple dishes and throws i can switch out seasonally. Its working so far. Less is more. Except with books. I like them. I read them. Im keeping them. Im working on a couple latge art peices. Im going for less peices of furniture with comfortable size. If you cant sleep on your sofa, why have it? I have a vaulted ceiling. Everyone who comes over comes in saying some version of what a small house. Then they look up and say wow. Its big in here. I painted semi gloss brightvwhite onnthe ceiling. So it bounces light around the room. Its optical illusion but it works. Im still working on lighting. Dimmers are a definite upgrade. It looks nice, and with migraines it's fast become something i wouldnt trade. Im reading peoples comments. Small spaces are a challenge Im still learning about.

I’ve been waiting for a video just like this one V, my home isn’t a huge home as we downsized once our children left home, most of what you recommended I have put together in my home, some might say my home isn’t small but compared to what we once had, it’s small to me and trying to decorate it the way I want it has been a bit of a challenge But with your decor ideas I’ve been able to incorporate them into my spaces, the one thing that did surprise me was going for a larger couch, I have a large couch and always thought it too big for my tv room but after watching this video, I now know that I made the right choice, I know my husband will be thrilled with this Lol 😂 as I’ve been wanting to replace it and it’s not that old or cheap, I have a chair in our main bedroom that was my Grandmas that I had redone to suit our bedroom and it looks lovely, I’m in the process of looking for new bedside cabinets that are functional. Thank you so much for sharing this video, I’d say it’s one of your best advice videos for small spaces. Have a Great Day. 🖤🤎🤍🩶☕️

Most of the photos you show aren’t small. Trust me, we had to sell our spacious home & move into my childhood home when my Dad had brain trauma. That bedroom was 10 x 11. House was 960 sf. That was small, that was 4 yrs of challenges. After he passed we built new, still not huge @ 2100 sf ranch, but so much better. My disappointment is these newer open ranch homes don’t have many interior walls. I have so much art I can’t use here.
