She works the clay using a method called Naked Raku, which uses smoke firing to create the markings, giving her pieces a beautiful stone-like quality.

If you’ve ever wondered how they make ski maps you should definitely pick up James Niehues’ The Man Behind The Maps book. He’s the illustrator who’s lovingly drawn in each run on pretty much every ski map in the business (he’s covered 200 ski resorts over his 30-year career). For a more tactile experience, the wood-grained surface of a Bush Backyard cutting board, which is crafted from sustainable wood sourced right here in Whistler, is an ideal souvenir. To ignite memories with smell, a Thymes Frasier Fir scented soap or candle will transport you right back to our lush coastal forests. Anja Jane Whistler-themed postcards are perfect for sending some love to your family and friends back home.

The bottom rack fits nicely beneath a sofa so you can enjoy meals right in front of your TV. Generally speaking, vintage (and vintage-inspired) appliances, like the refrigerator pictured here, take up fewer square feet than modern-day behemoths. A black-and-white palette works in any size space, but it can give a small living room a polished, pulled together feel that takes the focus off of size.

This overlooked part of the house has tons of pack-it-in potential. Here, Chicago interior designer Tom Stringer cleverly incorporated drawers for a family of four that wanted to maximize the space. Drapes and curtains are a great way to add visual interest to a space while controlling light.

In this modest living room designed by Leanne Ford Interiors, we love how the over-the-top, formal chandelier creates contrast and intrigue. This simple living room designed by Robert McKinley Studio incorporates tons of texture, from the rug to the shades and the sofa. These casual materials make it feel casual while still being fresh and stylish.

An elegant, traditional style small living room with matching curved sofas and an ornate coffee table with a light wood inlay. The enormous fireplace has two wrought iron screens surrounded by white marble. A small living room arrangement on a wood floor in a chevron pattern. The space is raised from the main floor via a few steps and is host to modern furniture in black and beige. The burgundy area rug adds a pop of color that ties in the drapes.

Rustic cabin theme

Some of our examples above and below are bigger than others and we understand you may not agree with some we chose to include. All white might seem a little bland—but it’s the easiest way to add light and the appearance of more space to a room. White reflects light which can help make the space feel much more light and airy. “Placing a mirror on a wall doubles the space visually," says Ramona, but if it's hung opposite a window, it will reflect and bounce around natural light, making the room feel more expansive. Light colors are great for your walls—but you can opt for a darker floor color if you’re looking to create a sense of warmth.

These curtains are easy to place above your windows, since they're extra-long and will easily reach the floor. That translucence provides the illusion that they're taking up even less space. You shouldn't have to go to great lengths to add organizational elements to your room. That way, you won't have to add extra clutter as you continue to troubleshoot space problems. In a small space with a neutral color palette and minimal furnishings and decor, focus on adding texture by using a mix of textiles or finishes in order to keep the space visually interesting and inviting. Neutral colorways will make a tiny space appear larger—but that’s especially true for your carpets or rugs.

Minimalism is already a top trend in every aspect and so are off white shades and all things white. Try creating a winter wonderland in your home with white and silver decorations, including artificial snow, white lights, and silver ornaments. When space is lacking, the only option is to get creative and make things multi-purpose.

We mention below how utilizing mirrors can really open up a small living room, and you can see how well it works here. However, other key elements combined with this design trick will also help. If your living room has some built-in shelves, use them for storage, as a small library, or modify them to fit your TV.

The cozy modular seating fits neatly in the space while the neutral carpet, grasscloth wallcovering, and full drapes enhance that sense of intimacy and warmth. The coffee table provides surface space but visually disappears and there's no need for a floor lamp when you can attach a matching sconce. 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.

Small living room ideas – 38 clever ways to plan and decorate a compact space

This will give you tons of extra storage and double as decor while taking up minimal space. This unique piece of furniture will draw the eye away from the space itself and give your room a little extra space. When decorating a small living room, try to pick furniture or decor that also works as storage space. This cute ottoman, for instance, has small shelves and cabinets to store books, electronics or board games. Wonderful Modern Boho chandeliers and pendant lights come in a range of shapes, styles and sizes.

Adding colored walls, photos, artwork, lamps, curtains and pillows can begin to make a room look and feel even smaller. An elegant living room in dark charcoal gray and white, a little more spacious than some others in this collection. The furniture consists of traditional, rolled-arm sofas and loveseats, with a lighter gray ottoman and coffee table and a soft ivory armless chair. A small living room in dove gray with a chair railing running about three quarters up the wall. The wood-burning open fireplace is topped by a contemporary mirror. In front of the fireplace is a seating arrangement that includes a cozy armchair, two armless chairs, and a glass-topped table.

Choose a Coffee Table With an Airy Base

Diaz suggests hanging artwork directly above your sofa rather than all around the room to add visual interest while keeping visual clutter to a minimum. If you do want to add more personality, you can always add pops of color in select furniture pieces and accessories. Decorating with stripes is another clever way to make small living rooms feel larger. The direction the stripes run will have distinct effects – vertical stripes, like on these armchairs above – will make a room with a low ceiling feel taller. Run the stripes horizontally and it will feel longer or wider, depending on your perspective.

A fabric-covered ottoman, lush blue velvet sectional, room-spanning rug, fun armchair, and upholstered walls. This polished space by Nick Olsen is all the convincing we need. A reupholstered ottoman will play the role of a coffee table, footrest, and even extra seating depending on what you need it for. Incorporating clever lighting ideas can be a great option for when decorating a small space on a budget.

HavenlyDark furnishings add depth to this white, small living room by Havenly, an online interior design service. Gobs of natural light keeps the gray sofa and cognac side chair from weighing the space down. A tall fiddle-leaf fig tree, as shown on the left, will contrast beautifully with crisp white walls.

According to Diaz, adding a mirror leading into your living room will help give the space a more light and airy feel. You can also try hanging mirrors facing one another on opposite walls to increase sightlines and create the impression of a bigger space. But in fact, multiple zones and features create a perception of different spaces within one room. It’s all about the right furniture size, the right swatch and the right small living room lighting ideas.

When decorating a small living room, create a focal point – one area or feature that will draw the eye, so there’s less emphasis on the room’s layout. In the living room, the focal point will most likely be the coffee table, so make sure that focal point is the star of the room. Select furniture pieces that are in proportion to the size of your room – oversized cabinets, living room sofas and chairs can make a small room feel narrow. When it comes to planning a living room feature wall, quite often, bigger is better.

So whether you're working with a small apartment living room or a compact sitting room in a family home, you can make the space work best for you. An L-shaped or sectional couch can help you use your space efficiently and set your living room apart from the rest of your house. For a fresh and open feel, we recommend a bright or neutral sectional paired with white chairs.

Use an Anchor Piece

Maximizing storage functionally and attractively can do wonders in a small living room. This is a small and simple minimalist living room with a sing gray sofa paired with a white coffee table that contrasts the black tiles of the floor. These are then complemented by the windows and the standing lamp. The sofa is in soft gray suede, the glass-topped coffee table is upholstered in a coordinating corduroy, and the thick drapes have a bold pattern. The result is an elegant, varied design with a few modern, glass elements, including the chandelier.

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. If you live in an apartment or even a smaller house, there’s a good chance that you have a compact-sized living room. While there are some pluses to having a smaller living room, such as easy upkeep and a sense of “coziness,” it can also feel cramped and uninviting.

Italian Mid Century Teak Rectangle Wall Mirror - 1950s

According to Diaz, this could look like placing bookshelves near windows so they can double as window seats or using an upholstered ottoman as a coffee table that can also be used as seating. When decorating small spaces, hang a mirror on a wall opposite a window or very near one to reflect the outdoors, broadening the feel of your room. Symmetry in interior design is introduced to create balance and a feeling of calm. This works perfectly in long living rooms and is ideal for enhancing a small living space. Max the feeling of serenity to the limit if you use calm neutrals to decorate.

TheNutcracker, to life with decorations like Nutcracker figurines, ballet slipper ornaments, and a Clara's bedroom display. Frozen-inspired Christmas theme, featuring blue and silver decorations, Elsa and Olaf figurines, and a snowflake-covered tree. ‘Small entryway ideas should make a statement about the house and owners as well as being a welcoming space,' explains Mike Fisher, creative director and founder, Studio Indigo. One of the main advantages of a compact space is the convenient accessibility of everything that’s needed. Small room ideas may be limited on size but they can be big on style.

Farmhouse theme

Living room dimensions may vary, but a small living room is typically either a 7’ x 10’ or a 10’ x 13’ area . If you live in an apartment, such as a studio space or a smaller one-bedroom, there may be no walls that define your living room from your dining area. While it can be a bit of a challenge, you can still create living room space. A closer look at the fireplace and area rug of the above living room. The checkered area rug adds a layer of color dimension that cheers up the otherwise neutral color palette.

Then utilize your walls for everything else, from task lighting to colorful artwork. The green monochrome situation in this small living room designed by Benjamin Dhong is also inspiring use to layer various shades of one color. If your living room, family room, or sitting room feels cramped and cluttered, the last thing you'll want to do is spend time in it. But no matter how small a space is, there are designer strategies to make it feel much bigger than it appears to be.

Similarly, there are items home organizers say make rooms feel small – including wooden coat hangers and food packaging. So, alongside big pieces of furniture, it's important to consider the impact of smaller accessories and how they can have a large impact on your space. Smaller items and well proportioned furniture can also help to make a small living room look nice. Just because you have a small living room does not mean you have to skimp on style when it comes to decorating. Each one offers ideas for how to pack a lot of style and function into a small space using only simple things, but without making things feel crowded or uncomfortable. Make sure to especially install good lighting in smaller, cramped spaces like a bathroom with a tiny window, as shown in this gorgeous space.

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

Make some horizontal cuts on one of the borders to make the flower fluffier. Repeat the process with the green paper, but cutting thinner strips.

Hallmark has designed some DIY crepe paper peonies that include free downloadable patterns for the two sizes of petals and leaves. This DIY paper flower tutorial is from Frog Prince Paperie and will help you create a great beginner paper flower, the anemone. Unfold the paper, and you’ll have the first layer of your paper flower.

You are free to add extra ornaments as you see fit. Once you're done cutting and snipping, find a creative way to display your paper snowflakes. The best part about this craft is that you can recreate the magic of a fresh snowfall without the freezing temperatures or the mess. Use clear tape to show them off as part of a holiday window display. Or, use fishing wire to hang them from the ceiling, staircase, or festive Christmas mantel.

We have them attached to the border of a bulletin board, but you can really put them anywhere. Some of them are so ridiculously gorgeous, they would make great decorations from weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, even little girls birthday parties. This is what the top half of the flower will look like when you’ve managed to pull apart every single sheet. Tie all the different stacks you’ve folded in the same way. The next step is to grab a bit of thread and tie it around the middle of the folded sheets.

How to Make Paper Snowflakes for a DIY White Christmas

It’s as simple as that.It doesn't have to be perfect, uniform, or even by any means. A lopsided, wonky spiral will be just as adorable as a spiral that was meticulously drawn down to the millimeter. Just draw a spiral like your inner seven-year-old self might draw a spiral and that’ll be great.

Then fold the paper in half so it makes a smaller triangle. Then cut the top off and you'll be left with a triangle which becomes the base of your snowflake.

Feel free to tweak and pull the ends to get the desired shape you like.

There is a variation made from what is described as "just twirl roses". I remember making paper flowers when I was younger. You fold and cut a bunch of tissue paper, add a pipe cleaner for a stem and Voila!

The center will consist of 2 parts – pistil and stamens. Try to evenly distribute all 5 petals so they have approx the same distance between them. First I gently twist the top edge of the petal. I do this to make the petal look just a little bit more natural. Next measure and cut a strip that is 6.5 inches high, and you need to cut 10 blanks of the same width – 3.25 inches.

Once you have your paper folded into the small triangle shape, experiment with how different cuts make paper snowflakes of different shapes. For example, cutting the flat top at an angle creates a solid snowflake with six distinct points and no cut-outs inside. Cutting the bottom tip off the triangle will create a cut in the center of the paper snowflake. Cutting all three sides creates three distinct shapes that repeat on each fold. If you're using rectangular paper, the first thing you'll need to do is fold it into a perfect square. Do that by folding the paper on a diagonal and cutting off the extra flap that isn't part of the fold.

Easy crepe paper flowers for beginners

First you should feel the crepe paper in your hands, pull it and stretch it, get used to it, and then move on to something more advanced. Crepe paper is very different from cardstock paper because you can give it any desired shape. The airiness and fluffiness of flowers made from crepe paper are simply impossible to compare with flowers made from any other paper. Grab a pair of scissors and cut the ends of the stack of tissues based on the shape you want your flowers to assume. So, feel free to experiment and play around with the color at this juncture. Also, remember that the more layers you add, the thicker the stack and the fluffier or more lush the flowers turn out.

Be careful not to overdo it when spreading them all around the wreath and add them at random intervals. You won't need much more than paper and some sharp scissors to create beautiful paper snowflakes at home. We glue the part that does not have cuts with glue and wrap it around the stem, one leaf higher and another much lower, and with this step we offer our flower as finished. After making the cuts, we open the paper and we will realize that we have two precisely equal halves. With the scissors we separate the two parts, with this gesture we now have two identical flowers. To speed things up, I fold the paper four times and start cutting it into small strips, leaving about half an inch uncut.

How to make paper flowers step-by-step

The rule of thumb is that the more paper you use, the thicker and bigger your flowers will turn out, irrespective of the size of every individual sheet used. A small-sized flower will typically take between 7-9 sheets of paper, measuring about 3” x 5”. A larger flower, on the other hand, measuring around 4” x 6”, will take anywhere between 9-12 sheets of paper. Spread every single layer and individual paper petal out and separate them from the stack. For example, you can cut the stacks in a tapering V, a curved U, or even into stripped ends, as seen below.

So I fold two blanks in half and step from the lower edge, maybe about half an inch, I cut to the middle point, and then I just round the top part. I also have a separate blog post and video about how to make petals from crepe paper, and in general, how to work with it. Hydrangeas are a very popular flower to have as home decor right now. I love that with this tutorial, you can make them individually to put in a vase, or make them into a wreath as you see below. Now, you can make any kind of flower out of paper that you want. Depending on the size of the flower you want to make, stack the tissues and align them.

For each flower, you'll need 3 or 4 sheets of tissue paper.When you've chosen your tissue paper, place them together, lined up in a pile. Unroll and secure the bottom with a dab of hot glue if desired. Take the pencil or Q-tip out and you'll be left with a rolled paper that looks very much like a flower. To keep it together, dab the bottom side with hot glue – and you're done.

Grab your glue and apply some over the first arc petal, as shown below. The two main enemies of crepe paper are direct sunlight and moisture. Therefore if you keep the flowers in a well-ventilated, non-humid place, and keep them out of direct sunlight, they can last for a very long time.

To make your display even more magical, finish your paper snowflakes with glue and clear glitter for a subtle glistening effect. The last step is to glue the center to the flower very well. After the first row, I turn the flower over and glue the 2nd row, placing the petals between the petals of the 1st row. First I flip the base and start by gluing the 1st row of petals from the back side. Also, make sure you don’t overstretch the paper.

When the paint is dry, create patterns over the papers in different colored paints and colored pencils. Draw lines, spots and squiggles, grids, scribbles and zigzags. Splatter paint, use different paintbrushes and your fingers – get messy!
