Here are a few simple decorating and storage ideas to help you think outside the box and make the most space out of a small place.
Declutter
First things first, make an inventory of everything you own. Donate items that are taking up unnecessary space so that you can work with key items that really work for your home and that will make your space more livable. You’ll want to go with a more minimalistic approach.
Conceal
Utilizing different types of furniture that have multiple compartments or multi-use, fold-up functionalities is a great way to use a small space in the most efficient way. Think trunks, murphy beds; fold-out desks, tables, drawers and cupboards; and coffee tables, chairs and tv units that have storage space.
Get creative
When selecting furniture, go with low-sitting, bigger items instead of lots of smaller items, such as a giant bookshelf, a large couch and a long, low coffee table. Furniture that is low-sitting such as futons and poufs will create the illusion of vertical space. Mirrors are another great visual trick to make a smaller space seem double the size.
You may also want to do away with a bulky dining room table and use a kitchen counter and barstools as a cozy dining nook.
Add floating shelves to your space so that you’re not using up more floor space. You can also divide an area by using a shelving unit in order to create even more storage space. When displaying items, consider coordinating by colour. The more ordered a space looks the better.
Go green
Consider adding a vertical garden. Indoor plants really liven up a space and create a sense of calm and serenity in your home.
