When it comes to renovating a small space, there's a perception that design options are limited. Fortunately, a wide range of choices are available to make a room warm, inviting, and bigger than it appears. As Fairbanks, AK's premier provider of beautiful accent furniture, House Of Kustom helps clients transform interiors into stunning, multiuse showcases. The family-owned store shares several fun and easy ways to make the most of size-challenged rooms.

How to Renovate Small Rooms

1. Use Dividers

A strategically placed divider can do wonders for making a space less tight. Traditional structures work well in studio apartments, but you can also consider a bookshelf or curtain to create delineation. Whichever divider you use, you'll be amazed at how the space will offer more leg room while keeping items in their proper place.

2. Compartmentalize

Accent furniture with built-in storage compartments is ideal for transforming small rooms. Whether you’re storing books or cooking utensils, hidden drawers, shelves, and cupboards eliminate clutter and open up the entire space. Include decorative bins, such as wicker, to house items and conceal them from view. File cabinets are another solution for compartmentalizing.

3. Hang Mirrors

Oval and square mirrors adorned with beautiful frames also add a certain richness and pizazz to the room. You can also use several similarly sized mirrors to extend the height and width of tiny areas, particularly if they're paired with unique accent furniture pieces.

4. Design Vertically

Another way to enlarge tight rooms is to design from the floor to the ceiling. Durable wall hooks, clothes racks, and shelves are just a few of the many possibilities for utilizing empty corners. Scan the room for unused areas that may benefit from vertical structures. For instance, consider space above cabinets and other high spots.
