Decorating Ideas For a Small Space

If you are decorating a small house, I can
think of no better source for small space
decorating ideas than stylish apartments,
and if home for you is a bitty apartment...score!
Today's interior decor inspiration may even
thrill you folks who are rich in square footage.

But first.
Help a sista win a lame laundry room contest, yes?
Click the heart to like the pic of me looking
like a freak with dirty laundry on my InstaGram page.
(Remember, you can like and use instagram
from your laptop, iPad or desktop and don't
need your phone to like and comment!).

Here's the dignified selfie (and depression face)
with as much of the lame room I could
manage to squeeze in since it's a teeny small space and
needs attention these real life renovators
have not had time to give!

Keepin it classy.

Ha!
It's a fun contest from Masonite,
(prize is a barn door and Home Depot gift card)
and if you care to enter, simply
tag your IG photo #laundryupgrade.

Back to serious Swedish Lovely business,
decorating ideas for a small space,
and serious PINWORTHY fodder.

What I suspect you'll gather after studying
these pretty spaces is that minimizing the
clutter is key to creating an airy, spacious feel.

Beyond that, keeping the color palette calm
and neutral also heightens the tranquil mood.

Check out these inspiring Swedish apartment interiors
which inspired 12 ideas for small space decorating.

Sometimes we need inspiration like the above
to remind us we CAN do open shelving and
live with everyday essentials on the counter
if we simply play around with styling.

Sometimes in designing a small dining room,

it makes sense to shove the dining table

right next to the wall...notice the

table is oh so skinny yet doesn't feel ridiculously

skimpy? That's lovely design for a small space!

Hello Gorgeous! Right after "liking" your instagram laundry photo - LOVED it by the way - so real and reminds me of my own laundry day, I raced back to the decor ideas in this post. As always, I am inspired by the ideas and style of each image. Being drawn to the Swedish, Nordic, and simple aesthetic of style, this was delightful in every respect. Have a wonderful weekend!!
