Tiny homes need tiny decor

     There's a lot of talk circulating these days about downsizing and tiny homes. I even saw something called a Granny Pod, which is intriguing.

     There's something to be said for downsizing, especially if your kids have left the nest.  I've downsized and am doing just fine with less.

     But with less space comes the need for fewer things.  This can ultimately mean a change in your decor.  Since it could very well mean that you have less wall space.

     One of the easiest ways to deal with less wall space and smaller rooms is to rethink the sizing of your wall art.  Think about using vertical instead of horizontal photographs on your walls.  Instead of one large photo try a small grouping.  

     Change is good. Downsizing doesn't mean you have to do without the things that give you pleasure and meaning to your home. Maybe less is more after all!

Yes. I've watched several tiny home documentaries and shows that highlight less is more and giving design ideas to make the space efficient.

I like the idea of the wall art being small and in groupings. That would be effective in defining a specific space. However, one of the things I also learned is if you have one largish (mural like) art piece and place it on the wall it will give the illusion of a bigger space, making it feel bigger. I think it's all about what one wants out of the space.

Great post Cheryl.
