The best interior design tips for small spaces

Less space doesn't mean less style. Quite the opposite: Small rooms, in particular, offer the opportunity to design consciously, reduce space, and make sustainable choices. With the right interior design tips, even small apartments or rooms can be furnished to appear functional, harmonious, and cozy at the same time. And best of all: With natural materials like linen and rugs made from natural fibers, you can achieve this in a particularly sustainable way.

1. Use multifunctional furniture

In small spaces, every inch counts. Opt for furniture that combines multiple functions - like a bed with integrated storage, a fold-out table, or stackable stools that can serve as both a seat and a side table. Clean lines and minimalist forms create a sense of calm and make the room appear larger.

2. Natural textiles for a calm atmosphere

Textiles play a key role in small spaces, creating a sense of warmth and comfort. Linen products, whether as bedding, curtains, or tablecloths, bring lightness, structure, and a natural elegance to the room. They don't feel heavy, but rather airy and timeless.

Linen curtains, in particular, make rooms appear higher when they reach from floor to ceiling, while also creating a pleasant, diffused light.

3. Carpets for structure and zoning

In open or small rooms, rugs help create clear areas: for example, a cozy reading nook, a sleeping area or a dining nook.

A light-colored rug with a subtle pattern makes the room appear larger, while a soft wool rug by the bed provides cozy warmth.

With our rugs made from natural sheep's wool, there are no limits to your interior design. They are also particularly robust, meaning you will enjoy them for a long time.

4. Choose color concepts consciously

Light, natural colors like sand, cream, sage, or greige visually open up the room and create a calm overall feel. Choose similar colors for walls, furniture, and textiles to create a harmonious, flowing look. Small accents, such as dark wood, brass, or textured linen—add depth without weighing it down.

5. Order through beautiful storage

Storage space is essential – but it should look beautiful. Baskets made of natural materials, simple shelves, or open clothes rails with selected favorite items create a light and sophisticated effect. A few carefully placed favorite pieces replace a multitude of small decorative items and bring personality into play.

Conclusion: Small spaces offer great potential – especially when designed consciously and sustainably. Natural materials like linen, thoughtful rugs, and a clean, calm aesthetic create a space that's stylish, functional, and designed to make you feel good.
