If you are looking to decorate a room that is quite small, then you need to be clever when it comes to choosing colours and patterns. Ideally you do not want any large patterns in the room as this can make it look a lot smaller. Avoid patterned wallpapers and try and instead stick to plain painted walls or a very small light pattern.
Colours are also important to consider when redecorating your smaller room. Bold or bright colours can again make a room look small. Instead try and keep the room light and simple. You should also try and keep all the colours matching such as cupboards and drawer units as this can help to blend them in to the background. Avoid cluttering up shelves and windowsills with too many ornaments. Having a room that is full of knick-knacks can make it look busy and small.
Although you may decide it is a good idea to go simple and light with your colours, you may also feel that you want to put a bit of personality back into the room. Adding a small splash of colour such as with cushions, lamp shades or candles can make an enormous difference to the room.
