You might have been tricked into thinking that interior design is something only for those who have a good, large space to do whatever they want. That couldn’t be further from the truth!
Keep reading this list to check some simple tricks to make your living space look like it is much bigger and optimize the space you already have at your home. We hope these tips make a difference in your life and help you connect more with your living space!
Folding Pieces
Do you really need a dining table or a desk in your kitchen/living room at all times? A folding desk, small folding chairs, or a folding dining table are great options if you don’t want your living space cluttered with furniture when it isn’t being used.
By eliminating clutter (furniture draws, a microwave, and crockery), you’ll create extra space that you can use for other activities!
Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets
When you think about cabinets, how tall does your mind go? Do you only think about how high or low the cabinets are or do you also think about how to fill that gap between the upper cabinets and the ceiling with storage?
Having Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets in your kitchen and living room is a wonderful way to maximize the space that was already there! This means taking the cabinets all the way up to the ceiling, adding accessories in between the cabinets, and using the walls to display plates rather than putting them all in a cupboard. If you plan your cabinets according to your available space, it’ll be even better!
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall
One of the oldest Interior Design tricks, this one right here! Only because by hanging mirrors up on your walls, you’ll create an illusion with the lighting of your living space.
They’ll make your room look much larger, lighter, and airier. It’s also super useful if hung up on your entrance, by the doorway, so you can check yourself before leaving home!
Smaller Round Dining Tables
Round tables have much more flexibility in terms of the space they take up, especially if you need to squeeze them into a small area.
Since they’re more compact, they’ll leave you with more extra room. Round tables are also great for fitting in rooms of all shapes and sizes!
Storage Furniture
If you’re looking to make the most of your small space, consider having storage furniture all over your place. They come with tons of shelving and drawers that you can use to store all of your belongings without taking up any additional square footage.
They also make your stuff look pretty cool and organized!
Multifunctional Spaces
You can pick an unused corner of your living room, your bedroom, or even your kitchen and transform it into another “room”. There are so many possibilities when creating a new corner in your place: a game corner, for you and your friends to play chess and board games; an office corner, for you to work; a zen space, for you to meditate and relax; and the craziest one (also one of the best options!), having a bath space inside the bedroom.
Having a multifunctional space in a small home is not hard. Just plan it carefully and patiently. Give it a try and enjoy all the things your home can provide you.
Hiding The TV
This trick can be done in so many ways! You can have furniture made for hiding the TV, you can plan your living space to have it hidden behind a fake wall or framed pictures. It’s up to you!
This is for the people who don’t really enjoy having a room as a TV room. Or maybe for people who just don’t think the TV as an aesthetic.
Never forget that no place is too small to be beautifully designed and decorated!
