As small spaces become increasingly popular, knowing how to decorate one is becoming more important as well. Are you about to furnish your small space? Read our article to learn all about the best small space decor tips for furnishing small spaces! ## Invest in Space Saving Furniture Furniture is one of the most important factors in designing your new home's layout. Window placements, lighting, and furniture should be your top priorities as you navigate through your style choices. Space-saving furniture is a great investment for anyone who lives in a small space. It is also a great investment for people who like many pieces of small space decor in one room. Since an apartment is where you will spend most of your day, tailor it to meet your needs. If a double bed is not necessary for your living arrangement, then consider a single bed. If you live an active lifestyle, for example, consider ditching a couch for extra floor space! Invest in a few floor pillows for comfy nights in. They can easily be moved when it is time for your online yoga class. ## How to Style Small Space Bedrooms All bedrooms are treasured spaces of relaxation and security amongst urban environments. Just because you live in the city does not mean that your bedroom cannot offer you a sense of peace and tranquility. Styling a bedroom begins with a bed selection, of course. Consider selecting the bed size that you need vs the bed size that you want. Increase your floor space in your bedroom to be able to add functional furniture pieces like a desk and chest of drawers. Prioritize what you need from your bedroom. If you want your bedroom to feel like a walk-in closet, then consider a loft bed style with a hanging closet underneath for your capsule wardrobe! ## Interior Design Ideas for Living Room Decor [Living room decor](https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/small-living-room-home-design-ideas-254768) is often the first part of your home that guests will see. Living room decor is your chance to express parts of your personality in your entertainment space. Consider creating a statement wall with a coat of paint or wallpaper. One wall full of color can help break up the monotony of a normal paint scheme. Include a large surface area that is perfect for entertaining and getting work done. This large surface can be your kitchen counter. Simply add bar stools and you are ready to entertain! If your living room is an extra small space that does not connect to the kitchen, then consider turning it into a media room where you can enjoy all of your favorite movies and shows! ## Furnishing Small Spaces With Minimalism Are you downsizing from a larger home into a smaller space? Now is your chance to downsize the rest of your possessions as well. Minimalism can begin at any stage of your life and moving process. Just because fewer materials are involved, does not mean that minimalism is any easier design style to follow. Whatever pieces you do add to your space will have to be meaningful and functional. This can be challenging if you have a lot of possessions to sort through and choose from. However, you will notice a difference in your home and in yourself when choosing the minimal path. You will have fewer possessions to maintain and cleaning will be much more efficient! ## Moving to a Space With Built-in Furniture? Small spaces often feature built-in furniture like murphy beds and shelving systems. The location of your preset furniture may not be ideal, but there are ways around them. Do your best to find out what type of built-in furniture will be in your apartment before you arrive so that you can be prepared with a game plan of how to design around them. You can begin by shopping for other furniture pieces that pair well with the installed furniture. This will help to create a cohesive look between all of the furniture and blend them all together. ## How to Make Your Studio Space Luxurious Studios are a great design challenge for creatives. However, styling a small studio does not have to be stressful or complicated. Begin by investing in the furniture and decor items that you cannot live without, then revolve the rest of your decor around these essential pieces. [Furnishing small spaces](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/home-organization-hacks-to-maximize-your-space) requires a lot of patience and a budget. This is because the small space of a studio apartment invites you to invest in quality rather than quantity. Having quality items is always a great option, however, make sure that you stick to your budget to avoid stress and complications. ## Small Space Decor That Works With Any Aesthetic  Simple decor like soft neutrals works well with any aesthetic. If you do not where to start, consider neutrals. Neutrals can be paired well with any furniture color like dark woods and metals. Neutrals can also be slowly integrated into other color pallets as well. If you are stuck on how to start your decor journey, begin by investing in things that you like and let the rest naturally develop over time! ## Are You Ready to Style Your San Diego Home?
