Paint color, accent pieces, and flow can create a totally different look and feel, especially in small spaces. Start thinking about colors, fabrics that you like and go from there. Look at websites like Houzz for inspiration pictures of other small spaces. Keep in mind that lighter colors and less bulky furniture help make a small room appear larger. We have a blog article on our website that explains how to make a small room look bigger...you can pull some ideas from there as well. If you're looking for a designer, we'd love to work with you on your project. All of our work (renderings/drawings/etc) is done online so it's much more affordable than an in person designer. Let us know if we can help! Good luck!

Focus Studio Design. Anyone! The room is dark and long and narrow. I regret that I cannot take that dark cherry furniture out of there. My own painting hangs across the chimney which I would like to work with….it is SO DARK if you can see the photo of the natural lighting I sent below……what do you think?

Try off white wall coloring and accent rug. A big mirror will go a long way to create the illusion of space.

Thank you, I like all the suggestions. Oh I hate dark basement rooms! ;-p

Is it ok to work around my painting colours?
