All strong interior designers know that while it is valuable to understand how to design larger spaces, it is imperative to understand how to design small spaces. In this video, I explore how interior designer Nate Berkus first revolutionized what it means to truly design and elevate small spaces during his first appearance on The Oprah Show in 2010. Nate gave a tiny Boston apartment “the star treatment”, and turned it completely around with his mentality that style is always about people and not things. Nate focused on the idea that every space is more so about what unique factors individuals bring to it and their overall presence, rather than having the most expensive or most grand items! In this video I explore my top 5 tips for how to design small spaces––consider the envelope of your space, the scale of furniture, how to create a strong focal point, the use of platform beds, and how to maximize your space through organization. The envelope involves color and cohesiveness––consider how your space is quite literally enveloped––keep your wall colors cohesive, and make sure to choose one, correctly sized rug. I then move on to the scale of furniture and dive into how to choose the right scale and upholstery for the size of your space; furniture that is too large, bulkily upholstered, or placed poorly can crowd your space when you really want to open it up. Next, I move on to the importance of focal points, which are vital to spaces of all shapes and sizes. Focal points can be created through mirrors and create the illusion of larger, more fluid spaces, or can be created through correctly sized art that keeps the room compelling and distracts from the size. Of equal importance is the use of platform beds, which are rather low and can create more volume of space above the bed, resulting in the illusion of a larger room. And lastly, as well as arguably the most important piece of advice, is that of being intentional about organization and keeping your space de-cluttered. Small spaces should be kept fairly minimalistic and highly organized, and all pieces of furniture should be bought for the dual use of storage, not only for aesthetically pleasing value (though this is of course always important!). There is never a space that cannot be made beautiful, and in this video, I show you how to bring your interior design dreams true for small spaces!
