Decorating Tiny

Maybe I am weird.

I have not been getting ANY sleep lately, And it is because of two little words.... Interior Design.

When I was 6th grade I remember not being able to sleep and I would start to think of decorating my room in all shades of pink and purple and that was it, I was out :)

Now it is the opposite. I cant sleep so I use the tactic that used to always work, but now I just find my self at 3 in the morning being overly excited, turning on the lamp and drawing out "my new fantastic Idea!"This is not good.... Not only for me, but for my cute hubby that in turn can also never get any shut eye! So here is my idea: I will start posting my "great Ideas" so that hopefully I can outlet some of my excitement! Here we go this is what I was thinking about until 3:30 last night!

Decorating Tiny Spaces. Here are some tips {That you may already know} But to hopefully help me get rid of the dark circles under my eyes please bear with me..... I'm begging you :) 

1- Go dark: 

Dark walls don't only make an impact in a room, they do the complete opposite of what you expect! When you have a light ceiling and dark walls it makes the room feel and appear bigger!

2- Fabric, Fabric, Fabric:

If you are renting use fabric to cover walls. It gives a room extra texture and you can easily apply it and peel off when you leave!

Here is a cute idea, you could do it as big small as you want:

you could also make some fabric stripes!

3-Match Colors to Open up space:

In this picture the chairs are the same color as the walls and that helps open up the room!

4-Hide Away's:

I starting thinking about this when the new Ikea catalog came! Using the small space you have and being completely organized! I love the nesting tables in this picture! you could also put a pretty basket under to hide away books or whatnot if you don't have nesting tables. 

5- Closet Lighting

If you came to our house you would see a neat color coordinated closet {well at least if you told me you were coming over first hehe} But sometimes closets get the boot and you just shove in your belongings and close the door quickly so nothing falls out. I LOVE closet lighting it can make even the most jam packed closets seem bigger and make you want to play dress up!

whew!

Now hopefully I can get some sleep tonight :)
