BY INTERIOR DESIGNER MARIA WRIGHT
In a small home it's important to choose the right furniture. With the wrong furniture, your room can look crowded but with the right furniture it can loc spacious' and large.
People with small rooms usually make a big mistake. They put lots of furnituf in the room - they often have two or three small armchairs and tables, or a table and a desk - and they put lots of small pictures on the walls.
A small room looks good with one or two big pieces of furniture, for examl a sofa or a table - for relaxing, eating and working. Have one or two pictur no more, and put up a mirror. A mirror in the right place gives more light ar makes the room look big. Windows are very important because they make i
room look light and spacious. Use curtains but don't close them in the day.
Put wallpaper on one wall and paint the other walls a light colour, for examl white or yellow; don't use brown or black or other dark colours.
• spacious = hds d lot of SPdce
