Why Details Matter (More) in a Small Space
Post Summary: Why seemingly minor details can make or break a compact home/apartment/office.
Minor features can make a surprising impact within a room, regardless of its size. But details are particularly crucial in compact spaces, where everything claims noteworthy real estate and catches the eye. Little touches can influence a space just as much (if not more so,) than a piece of furniture or even paint color.
I think this is a good thing— it means that you can potentially transform a home/office without investment much money.
In fact, depending on what you already have available in your space, you might not even need to purchase a single new item.
We’ve chosen to keep our small space neutral and natural in tone and materials. As such, our functional decor (bags, leashes, storage containers, etc.) all suit our decision and our tastes.
But a cohesive and considered look is of course attainable for all styles— not just the one demonstrated via our home.
While our home is relatively monochromatic (we rely on textures as well as the plants outside our windows to usher in rich tones and depth), attention to detail can enhance any color scheme and style of decor.
This post contains some examples of some seemingly inconsequential choices we made (camera straps, backpacks, nested bags and corner accents) that, when combined, help make our space the light and functional and, in our eyes, beautiful.
