Trying to do to much?
February 21, 2010 | Category: Decor for a Dime
So I went to restroom today at a local restaurant and this was what I was met with.
Now I don’t mean to be gross but this is a classic example of trying to do too much with too little.
This is also, an unfortunate pit many youth guys/girls fall into while trying to make their youth space more appealing. Let me tell you a truth that I’ve learned, if you have a small space, you actually need less decorations.
If you have a small room thats been designate for your youth don’t panic as you can still have an awesome space.
First off you need to decide the main purpose of your space; is it fellowship (a place to hang out and have small group discussions), or is a room you plan to use for a big group meetings (teaching/worship etc.) This is mainly important for deciding what type of furniture you need to have. If you have to use it for both then get simple chairs and end tables that will move easily to be rearranged to meet the variety of purposes the room will have.
Next your going to want to create a focal point, whether its where your small stage will go or where you want the focus to be drawn. You don’t want to over do it like this:
This kind of design in a small space makes it even smaller. Instead try something like this one:
Again its all experimentation when it comes to your particular circumstances, so just remember that when it comes to small spaces less is more.
