32 Small House Interior Design Ideas
When you live in a small house or apartment, fitting in everything you need is difficult. Trying to fit everything and make it look good is an even bigger challenge, but that's what makes small space design so fun: Coming up with clever solutions to those obstacles makes it all the more rewarding in the end. Luckily for you, we've got quite a few small space tricks up our sleeves, with hacks ranging from hanging beds to hidden storage, tricks of the eye, and more. Whether you live in a studio apartment or want to get more out of a tiny room in a small house, these small space design ideas will make it feel so much larger while maintaining style.
1
Incorpoate Reflective Materials
Rustic White Photography
Opt for white lacquered walls and glossy tiles, as designer Brian Patrick Flynn did here. The high-shine materials are reflective and will generate the same maximizing effect that a mirror will, bouncing light and making for a generally airer space.
SHOP TILES Zellige Tiles, $2
2
Opt for Pocket Doors
House Beautiful
Pocket doors with glass windows allow for shared light to flow throughout the space while also creating separation. And even better, they slide right into the wall when not being used, taking up much less space than swinging doors.
SHOP DOORS IKEA Sliding Doors, $180
3
Add a Gallery Wall
TREVOR PARKER PHOTOGRAPHY
Though it may sound counterintuitive, covering a wall floor-to-ceiling can make a small space feel larger. In Rudy Saunders's apartment, an assortment of framed works (plus an overscaled watch clock!) draw the eye up, making the 375-square-foot studio feel more expansive.
SHOP GALLERY WALL KIT Frame Sets, from $166
4
Be Resourceful
Trevor Tondro
When space is limited and you don't want to shop for new, bulky furniture, use a chair as a side table and install wall sconces to save surface space.
A cheerful color, like this pale turquoise hue, is also a good idea to set a happy mood in a tiny room.
SHOP SCONCES Arc Mid-Century Sconce, $79
5
Think Vertically
Nick Glemenakis
By hanging subway tile vertically—rather than the more common horizontal hang—designer Eneia White makes this modestly sized bathroom feel both taller and more streamlined. A tight palette of black, white, and blush prevent it from feeling cluttered.
SHOP TILE Subway Tile, $2.79
6
Hide the Utilities
Frank Tribble
For the restaurant at The Cornell Inn, Toledo Geller used drapery to cleverly conceal pipes and HVAC, creating an elegant canopy while avoiding visual chaos.
SHOP DRAPERY Navy Blackout Curtains, $31
7
Hang a Swing!
Nicholas Sargent
Since it doesn't take up any literal floor space, a swinging seat gives the appearance of a much more open room.
For proof, look at the daybed Tiffany Brooks hung in this room at the Kips Bay Palm Beach showhouse.
SHOP SWINGS Hanging Daybed, $953
8
Shrink Your Dining Table
Tessa Neustadt
Small round tables aren't just for breakfast nooks. Ditch the giant dining table and give yourself some extra space by opting for a small, round dining table instead, like Emily Henderson did here.
SHOP TABLES Marble Dining Table, $999
9
Use a Day Bed
Toledo Geller
Add a day bed and watch your bedroom double in size. If you don't have a designated guest room, this could also come in handy in your living room.
SHOP BEDS Monarch Hill Daybed, $672
10
Maximize Shelving
Lesley Unruh
In this Manhattan apartment, Cece Barfield Thompson corralled the owner's books and accessories into one room, where built-in shelves—complete with gallery lights—make the items look deliberate.
The best part? This library doubles as a dining room in the small apartment.
SHOP GALLERY LIGHTS Picture Light, $399
11
Express Yourself Everywhere
Anthony Dunning
Yes, even on the fridge—no, especially—your fridge and other bulky appliances. Since there's limited space for extras and less room to pile in all your favorite items, you'll need to beautify everything. Here, Anthony Dunning turned a regular old refrigerator into a design opportunity by dressing it up in removable wallpaper.
SHOP REMOVEABLE WALLPAPER Peel and Stick Paper, $150
12
Mount Your TV
Hecker Guthrie
A media console is the biggest space waster in a small living room. Mount your TV on the wall or above a fireplace and you'll regain necessary floor space.
SHOP WALL MOUNTS TV Wall Mount, $30
13
Hide Your TV
KARYN R. MILLET
Or, even better, hide it! Whether inside of a credenza or disguised as artwork, this design trick is perfect for anyone whose living room is always their family room, dining room, and/or more.
SHOP MEDIA CABINETS TV Stand, $300
14
Do Double Duty
TREVOR TONDRO
Pieces that can serve multiple purposes are key: Find a table that can function as a desk and dining table, get a deep sofa that can double as a guest bed, or buy cubes that serve as a coffee table and bonus seats when guests are over.
SHOP SEATING Storage Ottoman, $315
15
Take Advantage of Architectural Quirks
Shade Degges
Every single inch counts in a small house, so be sure to take full advantage of architectural quirks—this way, they'll actually become your favorite thing about the space.
That radiator by your window? Invest in a pretty radiator cover and customize a cushion so you can use it as a window nook to read and relax in. (And you'll be able to forgo the bulky couch that'll take up half the studio!) Pile on the pillows and add a pendant light for tasks, as Jae Joo did here.
SHOP RADIATOR COVERS Radiator Cover, $255
16
Use Mirrors
Sara Tramp
It's the oldest design trick in the book: Mirrors will make your space feel larger, lighter, and airier. And a fun convex one like this adds a lot of personality without taking up a ton of space.
SHOP MIRRORS Mirror Plates, $16
17
Make Every Piece Count
Bjorn Wallander
Choose furnishings that offer maximum functionality in minimal square footage. For example, instead of an end bench, opt for a desk with a small side chair.
You can use it for work, getting ready, and more.
SHOP DESKS Writing Desk, $68
18
Think About Scale
Corinne Mathern Design
If your kitchen doesn't have an island and you don't have a living room that's separate from the kitchen, don't give up on making it functional. Opt for a tall wooden table that can provide some extra counter space for cooking and as a two-top dining table. Use this one in a kitchen by Corinne Mathern Studio as your blueprint.
BUY SMALL ISLANDS Counter Table, $125
19
Keep It Neutral
deVol Kitchens
Calm, even-toned rooms fool the eye into thinking they're more spacious than they are. Make sure to add a variety of textures to keep the space from falling flat.
SHOP PILLOWS Velvet Pillow, $6
20
Convert a Closet
David Kaihoi
Designer David Kaihoi used some seriously smart storage solutions to make his New York City apartment work harder—including creating this compact laundry "room" in his closet.
That way, when he's not doing laundry, he can close the door on these eyesore appliances.
SHOP LAUNDRY MACHINES Washer and Dryer Unit, $1259
21
Customize Storage
Fantastic Frank
Bespoke built-ins, storage nooks, and furniture tailored to your exact needs can utilize every available sliver of space. When they're part of the walls, you don't lose nearly as much valuable square footage. And extra storage under a bench helps, too.
SHOP BENCHES Storage Bench, $449
22
Create Zones
Ngoc Minh Ngo
In interior designer Max Sinsteden's studio, he made his sleep zone feel separate from the rest of the room by hanging a super high curtain and then suspending a floating painting to break it off even more. "I hate seeing a bed from the front door, so I added a curtain to partition that space.
When you close it, you honestly feel like you're in a Parisian hotel," he tells us. This means you can entertain, too, without feeling like everyone's hanging out in your bedroom. "A small space doesn't hamper me from inviting 50 people over."
SHOP CEILING TRACKS Ceiling Track, $90
23
Use All Available Surface Space
Fantastic Frank
Even a windowsill can provide extra storage space for decor, lighting, and other essentials when there's no room for an extra table.
SHOP SHELVES Floating Shelf, $20
24
Get a Wall Desk
Nicole Franzen
Think you have no room for an office? Think again. A mounted wall desk takes up way less room—and you can even mount shelves above it for even more storage space. Designer Tariq Dixon transformed an unused corner by installing a wall-mounted desk.
SHOP DESKS Floating Desk, $65
25
Use Strategic Seating
Hecker Guthrie
Opt for extra seating that can fold up and be super compact so you can store it away while the guests aren't over. A stool like this one in a living room designed by Hecker Guthrie is perfect.
SHOP STOOLS Royal Design Folding Stool, $136
26
Use Bigger (But Fewer) Furnishings
Maltsev Design
It may seem counterintuitive, but outfitting a small space with just a few large-scale pieces (rather than a mishmash of pint-size furniture) can actually make it feel grander. Resist the urge to push all of your furniture up against the walls. If you create space behind the furniture, it makes the room look wider than it is.
SHOP BED FRAMES Canopy Bed, $1,299
27
Go Big in a Small Space
Peter Murdock
It's easy to overlook a room when it's super tiny, especially because there simply isn't enough useable space for décor.
But it's definitely possible—and well worth it—to elevate and personalize these little rooms. Take this powder room in Ailana Michelle Ralph's home, for example. With a light blush pink wall color and a surrounding gallery of eclectic artwork, the small room packs a lot of punch.
SHOP FRAMES Gilt Frame, $39
28
Build Up
Fantastic Frank
Exploit the often under-utilized space between the tops of furniture and a room's ceiling with hanging or high-mounted elements. Take bookcases and cabinets all the way up—it'll make the room feel higher.
SHOP CABINETS Kitchen Cabinets, $489
29
Forgo Bulky Pieces
Studio DB
Though the under-the-sink storage can be great, larger vanities with a lot of drawers and cabinets can end up looking oversized and awkward in small spaces.
In this bathroom designed by Studio DB, the dainty marble vanity has plenty of surface space and the extra towel tracks and hooks take care of the storage needs.
SHOP TOWEL BARS Towel Bar, $50

Build a Partial Glass Wall

Tear down walls, enlarge windows, or swap solid doors for glass to open up views and connect adjacent spaces.

Incorporate Good Lighting
Eric Piasecki
Good lighting will make or break any room–big or small. Make sure to especially install good lighting in smaller, cramped spaces like a bathroom with a tiny window, as shown in this gorgeous space.

Hang Your Draperies as High as You Can
Here's a little designer secret: The hands-down easiest way to make ceilings look higher is to place a drapery rod really close to the ceiling—roughly 2 inches below the crown molding will do the trick. While you're at it, make sure to extend the rod at least 4 inches on either side of the window so that the window appears wider—and allows in more light.

Interior decor
Do you want to update and decorate the interior, but are afraid to lose money? Leave all doubts, because you can make a house beautiful and cozy almost for free. We talk about everything in order in this post
When it comes to decor interior, many of us mistakenly believe that home comfort is an expensive pleasure. It's time to dispel this myth, because you can decorate the interior and give it the missing zest almost for free. Bright candlesticks, festive garlands and colorful lamps - we tell you how to make decor items from improvised and seemingly unnecessary things.
Idea #1: Colors of autumn
Go for a walk in the park next weekend and collect a herbarium from autumn leaves. Dry the leaves and, armed with a brush, decorate them with rainbow patterns.
Now you can safely hang them on the doors and windows of the house!
Idea #2: from childhood
Collected leaves can also be used to make funny figurines of animals and birds. To do this, simply glue the leaves to colored paper with painted eyes and ears. Children will be delighted!
Idea #3: fruity mood
A little paint and the old bag will be like new! Moreover, drawing a symmetrical pattern is easier than you think: you only need half a fruit. Dip it in paint and get creative.
Idea #4: Welcome!
Making an autumn wreath is not difficult at all: just wrap branches around a wire frame in the shape of a circle and decorate it with acorns, ribbons, maple leaves and mountain ash. Now it remains to hang a wreath on the front door.
Idea #5: a holiday is coming to us
Started a home party? Decorate your home with a colorful garland made from autumn leaves. To do this, simply paint them in rich colors and hang them on windows, doors or stairs.
Idea No. 6: Oscar for the idea
Let an elegant pumpkin vase become a festive table decoration. It is not so difficult to make it: the main thing is to carefully cut the pulp and the core of the pumpkin. Put flowers in the resulting hole - and an unusual vase is ready!
Idea #7: the best surprise
What holiday is it without presents? Make them truly special with the original packaging. To do this, simply wrap gifts in wrapping paper or pieces of cloth and decorate them with rowan branches.
Idea No. 8: from the heart
In addition, you can always make a gift with your own hands - for example, a stylish candlestick. You will need branches, a regular glass and some glue. Gently glue the branches to the glass, put a candle inside - and give the candlestick to your family and friends.
Idea No. 9: all the colors of the rainbow
And by gluing multi-colored felt balls to the coasters, you will not only make them more functional, but also complement the kitchen interior with bright juicy accents.
Now home evenings will become even more comfortable!
Idea #10: cat house
A little inspiration and you can make a funny flower pot with cat ears out of an ordinary bottle. To do this, cut off the bottom of the bottle (do not forget about the ears) and paint it in the color you like. The case is small: it remains to draw a cat's muzzle.
Idea #11: under control
It's no secret that a beautiful interior starts with order. It is not difficult to direct it: just cut cardboard boxes and paste over them with multi-colored paper. Now all the important little things will always be at your fingertips!
Idea #12: beautiful doesn't mean expensive
Don't know what to fill an empty wall with? We suggest to be creative and decorate it with corrugated paper. To do this, cut the paper into small squares, and then use the bottle to glue the panels directly to the wall. The interior will become more voluminous, and therefore interesting.
Idea No.
13: eternal beauty Corrugated paper can also be used to make a delicate bouquet of roses. Even a child can handle this: wind the paper around a thin wire and glue paper petals to it. Spread the buds and enjoy the beauty of a bouquet that will never wither.
Idea #14: take the height!
Surprise your child with an airplane made from clothespins and popsicle sticks. This will take just a couple of minutes: just glue the sticks to the clothespin and color the resulting plane.
Idea No. 15: Gatsby style
A little glue and multi-colored glitter - and an ordinary glass will be exclusive. The main thing is to let the glue dry properly, otherwise fingerprints will appear on the shiny surface.

In the article we will tell you how to decorate any room for the New Year, what decorating techniques are now in trend and what decorations you can make with your own hands.

When we decorate a house for the New Year with our own hands, it is important to choose a common style. So separate zones will not look scattered, and the interior will have a single mood. Usually the decor is styled according to the main style, so that all design elements look harmonious. Now there are several trends in the trend.
Scandi
Instagram @cozy.happy.home
Scandinavian aesthetics and New Year's atmosphere are perfectly combined, and the style itself remains one of the most popular today. With it, you can create the atmosphere of a New Year's fairy tale and at the same time not spend a fortune on thematic design.

Eco
Instagram @annakubel
Ecostyle is especially suitable for the interior of a private house, because outside the city there is an opportunity to be literally closer to nature. This direction does not imply pretentiousness; you can easily decorate such a New Year's interior with your own hands. By the way, this process can be made an annual family tradition and gradually replenish the eco-handmade collection.
Minimalist
Instagram @oanagociman
Minimalism is gradually moving beyond a specific style and becoming more of a way of life. Therefore, it can take on any form, from hi-tech to a cozy eco-style, which we talked about above. Choose the one that suits the overall style of the house.

Get inspired by your own childhood memories or, if you like Western style, a photo of American or European vintage decor from the 60s and 70s is ready.
Country
Instagram @theholidayhousedecor
Rustic style is not so common in urban apartments, but if you are looking for ideas on how to decorate your house for the New Year 2022, then you should take a closer look at country. In this direction, lightness, the charm of village life and the warmth of a family hearth are combined.
Instagram @glamhouseofdecor
The symbol of the coming year is the Blue Water Tiger.
He does not like bright, too aggressive colors, so it is better to give up rich shades of red, yellow, purple in the design of the house. What can be used instead?
- Any shades of blue and cyan.
- Gray, white, black - in monochrome or in the company of other colors.
- Brown, beige, muted yellow tones.
- Deep green - the color of needles, moss, bottle glass.
- Any texture of precious metals, silvery and golden hues.
- Elka. As a rule, it is placed in the hall. You can place the spruce in the center of the room or in the corner, depending on the layout and personal preferences. We have made a detailed guide on how to beautifully decorate the Christmas tree with a garland and other decor this year. Under the tree, you can lay out gifts in a beautiful package, lay a cloth or arrange figurines.
- Fireplace. If the living room has a traditional or electric fireplace with a portal, this is the perfect place for a basic Christmas arrangement.
An obligatory element is socks for gifts. Christmas figurines, candles, large coniferous garlands will be placed on the mantelpiece. You can put a vase with treats. - Sofa group. Here we need cozy textiles for upholstered furniture. In the center of the coffee table, you can create a themed composition from any decorations: from figurines and candles to glitter-covered cones found on the site.
- Window sills. Electric candles, lanterns, a couple of pillows with Christmas decor will make the main room even cozier.
So, for example, it is always hot above the stove, so it is better not to place live plants and plastic products that can melt there. And wooden elements, if they are not covered with a protective varnish, it is better to keep away from the wet area. Also, the decor should not interfere with cooking, so it is better to place it not on the work surface, but on cabinets, shelves, windowsills, etc.

Otherwise, standard decorations will do: garlands, streamers, figurines and figurines, candles in figured candlesticks. And, of course, beautiful Christmas tableware in plain sight. You can buy interior letters and make any word or phrases out of them.
The decoration of the dining table consists of two elements.
- Festive serving - you can purchase a set of dishes, cutlery and napkins from the New Year's collection or compose a composition yourself. It is not necessary to use the classic green-red-white palette, you can choose any colors that you like, or be inspired by the symbol of the year.
- The central composition - it is on the table at any time, even when the dishes with cutlery are removed. Depending on the style, this can be an ensemble of candles, plants, fruits and berries, or themed figurines. You can put Christmas balls in a large jar, vase or basket.

Textiles (napkins, towels) with Christmas prints will add a festive atmosphere.
Living rooms
Instagram @simplyscandikatie
The interior of private rooms - bedroom, nursery, guest room - should be cozy and calm. It is best to arrange them in accordance with the style of the room, using discreet atmospheric details.
Paper banners or shimmering garlands on the walls will help decorate the bedroom; composition of ordinary or aromatic candles; several thematic figurines; miniature Christmas tree in a pot; snowflakes and artificial snow on the windows; a beautiful bag for gifts - especially relevant in the nursery.
In the photo below we have collected beautiful examples of how to decorate the wall behind the bed for the New Year, and other ideas for the bedroom.
7Porch
Instagram @snapshotsbyhannah
The entrance group is the face of the whole house, the first impression of it, so it is very important to pay special attention to the design. The two main elements here are the porch and the door.
If the porch has railings, you can hang a garland with light bulbs or a fluffy model “under the needles” on them. Arrange a simple composition of vases, figurines, lanterns on the steps.
7Windows
Instagram @faggemala1912
If in an apartment we decorate windows for the New Year mainly from the inside, focusing on the window sill, then outside the city this is not only a part of the interior, but also a full-fledged element of external design.
How to decorate windows
- Thematic stickers.
- Paper snowflakes (you can make your own hands with children).
- Hill lamp.
- Garlands.
- Accent Christmas star.
- Large candles in glass cases.

The main task is to make the decor clearly visible from the outside, so we use bright elements and lighting as much as possible.
Yard
Instagram @sandrashem
The design of the local area depends on what you have in your yard. Usually, trees are decorated with clip-lights (special garlands) - this is already enough to create a fabulous atmosphere on the site in the evenings.
