How to Add Some Art into Your Space Using Multi-Functional Décor

Everyone wants a comfy and inviting indoor space. Whether you own the house or live in a rental apartment, you will likely want to cozy up your space and make it as welcoming as possible. However, space is often an issue, and you might easily end up with a squeezed-up interior in the name of decorating. This is where multifunctional pieces come in handy, best if they are artistic.

Do you want to add some art into your space using multifunctional décor? If so, read on to discover how to go about it.

What Is Multifunctional Décor? 

As the name sounds, multifunctional décor are interior pieces that serve more than one purpose. The contemporary style is among the latest interior design trends these days and has a larger bias on furniture pieces alongside lighting fixtures that easily make a small living space appear larger and more comfortable. Here’s how you can use multifunctional décor pieces to introduce some art while making the most out of your living space.

1. Brighten up your space with artistic lighting 

The last thing you’d want for your small living space is to make it dull. It easily looks cramped, smaller, and less inviting. To brighten up your space, consider adding some wall lights. Wall sconces are particularly great because you won’t need an extra table or cabinet to place them on. If you’re looking to create a high-end home décor look, consider checking out the Tom Dixon collection for inspiration on artistic pendants you could pick up. Recessed lights are also a great option, alongside cabinetry lighting and living candle holders.

2. Floating shelves, stacked drawers, and hidden storage

Stacked-up skinny drawers are ideal for creating a storage room without consuming too much space. In rooms such as the kitchen, you can include a floating shelf for some airy storage. Wall shelves are particularly great for placing artistic pieces like flower vases, décor jars, or a portable lamp. A multifunctional wall organizer could also do the trick.

You could go the extra mile and utilize hidden storage to avoid a cluttered look in your space. Instead of investing in cabinets, boxes, or baskets, you could utilize empty space such as: 

• Under the bed 
• Beneath the staircase 
• Underneath floorboards

3. Choose multi-use furniture

Want to keep your living space dazzling while maintaining an open plan? If so, multi-use furniture could be the ideal solution. For instance, you could go for a daybed, which serves as both a bed and a couch. A storage ottoman could also serve as a coffee table, or you could go for a foldable dining table. The key is to save as much living space as possible in your abode without creating a cramped and cluttered look.

4. Hang some mirrors

Finally, mirrors have a way of making space look bigger and more attractive as they reflect light. You could hang up a few small ones or have an oversized mirror on one side of the wall where it directly captures light. Make sure it is creatively cut to display your artsy side.

Multifunctional interior design is a great choice for decorating small spaces. Whatever you go for, the main idea is to make the most out of the available space and do it creatively. The above few tips can help you with just that while introducing artistic taste in the process.
