Any interior designer in Seattle who loves working on small spaces truly knows her job.  Small spaces are commonly a challenge; most people think the furniture and color options are limited, but nothing is further from the truth.

As for any other type of space, there are important principles that pertain to small spaces, and the art resides in knowing how to get the best out of them and use them in creative and unique ways.

1.    A professional interior designer knows where to use light colors within a small room.  By using monochromatic schemes on covers, walls and main furniture pieces, the designer makes the space flow without obstacles

2.    If anything, small spaces offer the opportunity to experiment with new or interesting materials, such as glass and acrylics, putting aside the more common ones like wood.  Light-appearing materials open up the space, and create interesting and surprising sensations

3.    Have you ever seen a piece of furniture and wondered what is it that makes it so cool?  That’s a secret interior designers know very well, they know how to pick ‘floating’ furniture pieces.  The design of these pieces helps the floor appear larger than it actually is.  Normally, clean and lean lines do the trick, but size is also important.  Today, there is a big variety of furniture sizes to fit current dynamic and practical lifestyles, so the options are indeed, endless… if you know where to look

4.    And still on the floating principle, knowing how to increase the practicality of a space using wall shelving without crowding the “skies”, is an art in itself, one that a professional interior designer knows too well

5.    Virtually any color will work well in a small space if the light is abundant.  Good interior designers are magicians of light.  They can make a space shine through the strategic location of light fixtures and the use of effective light reflectors, like mirrors.  Never underestimate the power of a well-located mirror to enlarge a room

6.    Last, but not least, a professional interior designer must know her client, understand his or her personality, taste, and most of all, his or her lifestyle.  Through this knowledge, she can surprise the client with a room full of furniture that will work to simplify the client’s life.  Multi-purpose furniture can solve storage, sitting and even serving issues that could arise in a small space, and selecting the right one depends mostly on the client’s needs

Yes, small spaces can be frightening, but every space has huge potential if put in the hands of the right interior designer in Seattle with the right vision.
