Decorating a Small Space to Make it Feel Larger | Decorative Storage

In a small area, it's important to maximise storage while intentionally leaving negative space for a visually balanced and uncluttered look. Decorative baskets and storage containers are a great solution for small space design as they can keep the space organised while also enhancing the overall style and personality of the room.

Here are some examples of decorative storage solutions that can work well in small spaces:

Woven baskets: Woven baskets made of natural materials like rattan, seagrass, or bamboo can add a touch of boho or coastal style while providing storage for items like blankets, pillows, or toys. They can be placed on shelves, under tables, or in corners as decorative accents that also serve a functional purpose.
Patterned boxes or crates: Decorative boxes or crates with stylish patterns or designs can be stacked or placed on shelves to store items like books, office supplies, or accessories, while also adding a pop of colour and visual interest to the space.
Wall-mounted shelves: Wall-mounted shelves not only provide storage for books, decor, or small items but can also be decorative in their own right. Choosing shelves with unique shapes, interesting textures, or contrasting colours can create a focal point on the wall and add a decorative element to the small space.
Floating shelves with decorative objects: Floating shelves can be used to display decorative objects such as vases, sculptures, or framed photos, while also providing storage for small items like candles, plants, or small accessories. By carefully selecting and arranging decorative objects on the shelves, they can become a focal point and add a personalized touch to the small space.
Wall hooks or pegs: Wall hooks or pegs can serve as decorative storage options for hanging items like coats, hats, bags, or jewellery. Choosing hooks or pegs with interesting shapes, colours, or materials can add a decorative element to the walls while keeping the small space organized and clutter-free.

By considering the style, size, and functionality of decorative baskets, storage containers, or other solutions, you can create an organized and visually appealing environment in your small space. Remember to choose items that complement the overall aesthetic of the room, fit in with the colour scheme and decor, and contribute to a visually balanced and uncluttered look. With these storage solutions, you can make the most of your small space while maintaining its style and functionality.
