Check out a few ways to personalize your dorm room or apartment space.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Choose a light or bright wall color</h2> <p>Lighter colors can make a room look bigger, where darker hues tend to absorb light, making the room look smaller. Why do you think I wear a yellow shirt?</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/shop-the-look/details/small-spaces?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=farmhouseforless&utm_content=photo1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="687" height="320" src="https://mybobs.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-1.jpg" alt="Choose a light or bright wall color when designing for a small space | Bob's Discount Furniture " class="wp-image-271" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-1.jpg 687w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-1-300x140.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px" /></a></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Find multipurpose furniture</h2> <p>To maximize the space you do have, the key is to select furniture that serves more than one use. Look for items that offer hidden storage, extra surface space and alternate functions such as <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/furniture/living-room/c/sleeper-sofas?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=sleepersofahyperlink" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="sleeper sofa (opens in a new tab)">sleeper sofa</a>.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/furniture/living-room?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=photo2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="687" height="320" src="https://mybobs.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-2.jpg" alt="Use multipurpose furniture in your small space | Bob's Discount Furniture " class="wp-image-272" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-2.jpg 687w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-2-300x140.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px" /></a></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Think Little Bob</h2> <p>Choose smaller pieces that do the same thing as their larger counterparts. If you can’t fit a full <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="coffee table (opens in a new tab)" href="https://blog.mybobs.com/furniture/living-room/c/coffee-tables?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=coffeetablehyperlink" target="_blank">coffee table</a>, try using an <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/furniture/living-room/c/end-tables?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=endtablehyperlink" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="end table (opens in a new tab)">end table</a> instead.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/shop-the-look/details/small-spaces?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=photo3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="687" height="320" src="https://mybobs.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-3.jpg" alt="Select smaller furniture for your small space | Bob's Discount Furniture " class="wp-image-273" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-3.jpg 687w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-3-300x140.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px" /></a></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Go vertical<br></h2> <p>Using this otherwise dead space adds a sense of height to the room and gives you some extra surface space. Think about a tall, thin <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="floor lamp (opens in a new tab)" href="https://blog.mybobs.com/home-decor/c/lamps-and-lighting?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=floorlamphyperlink" target="_blank">floor lamp</a>. It takes up less floor space and has a functional aspect of extra lighting. Take advantage of any existing architectural features in the room like ledges or consider installing a wall shelf. Get creative with your own hanging planter to bring a natural element into the space.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/shop-the-look/details/small-spaces?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=5tipssmallspaces&utm_content=photo4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="687" height="320" src="https://mybobs.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-4.jpg" alt="Use the vertical space in your small room | Bob's Discount Furniture " class="wp-image-274" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-4.jpg 687w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SmallSpaces-687x320-4-300x140.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px" /></a></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5.
