Interior Design for Downtown Living

Making the Best of Your Urban Asheville Home

Choosing to live in the vibrant downtown Asheville area, may mean living in a smaller space than you will find in a suburban or rural area. However, small can still be stylish and comfortable. Whether you live in an apartment, a condo, or a home, check out these ideas for making the best of your urban downtown space feel like home.

Cast off Clutter

Clutter doesn’t work in any space, but the less room you have, the more you need to maximize your space. Get rid of anything you don’t want or need to make the most of every square foot.

Use Unique Features

Sometimes small spaces have unique features like oddly shaped ceilings, bump-out walls, or windows that face a less-than-amazing view. Instead of working against these characteristics, choose a design approach that works with them.

Hang Mirrors

A well-placed mirror will reflect light and open up a small room, resulting in a space that seems bigger and brighter than it really is.

Create a Focal Point (Copy)

Create a Focal Point

When you move into a small space, you may think you have to give up large items, such as the comfy couch you really love. But wait! Try making that special piece the focal point in the room. It will draw the eye and make the space feel larger rather than smaller.

Pay Attention to Colors and Patterns

A pop of color can keep the eye moving. Linear patterns can elongate the room. Survey your room for its overall effect and think about how it makes you feel.
