USING YOUR WALLS: Color Block Wall Treatment
I've been doing quite a few USING YOUR WALLS posts lately and here's another neat idea - color block your walls. This fun treatment would look great in your smallest space, like a bathroom. This could work as one accent wall in a larger space, like a kitchen. The multiple colors really add dimension to a space.
Enjoy!

USING YOUR WALLS: Horizontal Art Gallery
This is a great example of how to use your walls both horizontally and vertically. The clean lines and shallow depth of the silver shelves perfectly house the frames without making them feel "too much" in the space. I would even have kept the frames the same color to draw the eye up and over. This ideas hits the mark on maximizing wall space in a great way for small spaces. (Image via Shaver/Melahn)

USING YOUR WALLS: Color Samples As Art
I love this idea of using paint samples in different colors and hues to create wall art. Very inexpensive (free!!!) and you can make this piece as big or as small as you prefer. I think using thin push pins against a piece of black or white particle board would look awesome!
Enjoy!

A COFFEE TABLE MADE OUT OF BOOKS
As I flipped through the new Pottery Barn catalogue, I noticed this interesting use of books - stacked to create a functional coffee table. If you have no space in your small space for a bookcase, this could be a unique way to multi-task your decor.
Enjoy!

SMALL SPACE DWELLER HANDBOOK:
Layering Furniture
1/
Try putting 2 chairs on an angle in front of your entertainment or wall unit.This way you are using that "wall" for dual purposes and creating depth in your space. I suggest using matching chairs in fabric and structure. Use accents like pillows or a pretty side table to add color. Check out the floor plan above that I snapped at William Sonoma Home that shows this idea. I love how the chairs have accent pillow that match the opposite couch another great way to tie in the color palette of the room.
2/
Place a table in front of a bookcase to create a stylish and very functional idea for bedroom storage. I've posted this idea before and think it's a great way to use your space. (Image via Home Magazine)
3/
If you have a wall of books, you can place your couch in front of the space. The couch will anchor that side of the room and become the center of the focal point of the room. (Image via Thom Filcia)
