How to Make Little Spaces Speak Volumes

Who says master bedrooms have to be large and roomy to be impressive? Certainly not ApartmentTherapy.com, annual sponsors of the Small Cool Bedrooms contest. This year's winner, Jack, from New York City, knows how to make the most of small.

Using a predominantly red and white color scheme, Jack lends his space a crisp, clean, modern flair. Notice that Jack also chose a large, bold Pop Art print to adorn one wall. While you might expect art with bright, primary colors and a Contemporary feel to overwhelm a small room, they can actually work beautifully. The trick is to choose art in hues that match the rest of the room -- in this case red, black and white -- and to keep everything else relatively simple.

Got a cool small room you’d like to share? I’d love to hear your design tips.
