Decorating a smaller home can be challenging. As I was looking for inspiration for my smaller home, I came across a great article from HGTV’s “5 Small-Room Rules to Break.” They are going the unconventional route and telling all of us to break the rules we have been taught for so many years: and I have to agree with them! They have some great ideas, so I thought I would share their ‘rules to break’ with you! Their top ‘break your patterns and rules’ are as follows;

Rule # 1 to Break: Paint Small Spaces White

Rule # 2 to Break: Stay Away From Lots of Patterns

Rule # 3 to Break: Keep Knick-Knacks to a Minimum

Rule # 4 to Break: Very Small Rooms Demand Very Small Furniture

Rule # 5 to Break: Hang Lots of Mirrors to Visually Expand a Space
