Decorating any compact interior definitely has its challenges. If you are unsure how to create drama in small quarters, here are a few big ideas that pack some punch.

Area rugs: A simple, small rug is tempting, but anchor the space with something more visually interesting. Go for a coloured pattern you love and make sure the rug is a proper fit to ground all of the furniture.

Sofa: Finding the right scale furniture can be tricky,but consider one large sofa that accommodates all seating in one swoop - less is more. A slim, neutral coloured sectional or customizable configuration will make your small room feel more airy.

Fireplace: Create a dramatic, but functional focal point. Electric fireplaces are plug-and-play and provide the flexibility of heating a room or simply adding ambiance with flame-only options. Opt for a spacesaving wall mount or a statement mantel. WWW.NEWSCANADA.COM
