THE DESIGNERS FROM A GOOD CHICK TO KNOW REVEAL
THEIR TOP TIPS FOR DECORATING A SMALL SPACE
1
ADD WALLPAPER
Create a feature wall
with large-scale graphic
wallpaper. Again, a small
space benefits from a bigger
print. You can mix different
wallpapers by varying the
size and pattern. White-onwhite wallpaper creates
depth and texture without
overpowering a space.

THINK MULTI-PURPOSE
in a small space, every inch counts.
in the case of Wing and Kevin's
condo, a feature wall is also an
office nook. a coffee table is a
makeshift dining table and a flex
room is both a walk-in closet and a
place for depositing keys and mail.
GO BIG
It is a misnomer that you should fill a small space with
apartment-sized furniture only. Look for a few substantial
investment pieces that carry the room. Larger furniture
will transition nicely to your next place, should you move.
When many people
start out, they go with
standard lighting left by
the developer. Megan
and Jennifer encourage
selecting oneof-a-kind luminaries that
add interest. This is a great
place to go vintage.

ADD SHELVING
Buy shelving units on caster
wheels or custom design your
own. You will have portable
furniture to take to your next
abode. Added bonus – wood
and metal shelving can add
a trendy industrial element
and serve as a foil to your
pretty wallpaper. For custom
shelving, Jennifer and Megan
recommend Union Wood
Company (unionwoodco.com).
