Small Space, Big Ideas- Part II: Design Ideas

Most people attribute a lot of negativity with having a small space. It can be hard to find furniture that fits, it can feel cramped and seem like you don't have the same design liberties as with a larger space. BUT, we beg to differ. Having a small space can actually have more positives than you realize!


1. Any change you make, no matter how small, has a big impact. New pillows and a freshly painted wall in a 10x10 room is a WAY bigger statement than getting lost in an oversized living room.

2. You need LESS furniture to fill the space!

3. Faster to clean (that’s not a design positive…but it’s a positive!)

Here are some fun design tips to help enhance YOUR small space!

A LITTLE goes a long way!

Small Spaces- BIG Ideas Part I: Multi-Function Furniture

Creative Classics caters to the small scale living community. The DC metro area is scattered with condos, apartments and historic homes. This equates to small rooms, lack of guest rooms, narrow staircases, and the need for multi-function rooms. We are here to be a furniture resource for you! How to make the most of your small space? Here are a few ideas!


Office

Let’s be honest, having an office space is as much of a luxury as a guest bedroom! But when you have really great storage pieces that can morph into laptop desks, ladder bookshelves that have a computer space and a coffee table that can be a desk—who needs to hide them away in a small office? Disguise it as part of your living room!

Bedroom

Space is always a consideration in a bedroom…Especially in this region: Winter and Fall clothes vs. Summer and Spring; bedding, towels with no linen closet and of course no wall space. Solution: Underbed storage. It takes up no more space than your bed (which is obviously the #1 criteria of a BEDroom) and can add the equivalent of a 6 drawer dresser! We also have convenient bedside tables that accommodate the drawers!

Living Room/Potential Guest Space

Everyone has a living room- even studios. No matter how small the space, we can get a sleep sofa in (It fully disassembles!). Not just any sleep sofa though…but the Comfort Sleeper Sofa by American Leather.

3 words: Self-Storing Leaves. A table that can grow up to a couple feet and be able to store the additional leaves is priceless in this area. We have the capability to make almost any sized or shaped table with North American hardwoods and in an assortment of stains.
