Have you ever wanted to buy accessories for a small room in your home but could not decide what to buy? With a little planning before you go shopping, you will be able to choose just the right accessories that will be attractive, provide storage, and give your room a special touch. These ideas for decorating small spaces are easy to implement and will result in a room that will be a magnet for your family and friends.
One of my favorite storage accessories is a coffee table with shelves or a flip top. Since there always seem to be items around the coffee table that need to be stored or displayed, shelves help alleviate this problem. They provide a place to keep items handy but out of the way.
Other types of coffee tables with storage include a simple but classic big wooden box with a lid as well as cedar chests, blanket chests or trunks. The most important feature of these coffee tables is the valued storage space they provide.
Decorative stacking boxes are attractive as well as practical. You might consider these as being hatboxes, although you can find other decorative stacking boxes that are square or rectangular. They add a really nice touch to a room as well as providing storage for the room.
Old suitcases are perfect for storage and are also great conversation pieces if you want to add a piece of vintage to a room. And now, aren't you sorry you got rid of all those old suitcases? Well, it is time to go to the second-hand store and see if you can find something that will add character as well as provide storage in a small room.
When decorating a small room, you might want to use an armoire in the living room to store remotes, magazines and other small items. They are very attractive and they are not just to be used in a bedroom.
Shelving with decorative boxes and baskets can be used when decorating small spaces to get things off the floor, to provide storage, and be attractive at the same time.
