Often, it can feel like we have to compromise on space to find a home in the most desirable locations. Here are our top tips to make the most of your space:
This may seem obvious, but mess and clutter can make even the largest of rooms feel smaller. The good news, is that smaller rooms are usually easy to maintain, so there’s no need to spend hours tidying to give the impression of more space.
It’s no secret that painting walls in lighter shades can help to optically enlarge rooms. Lighter walls can maximize any natural light in the home. However, if you are keen to go bold, consider an accent wall to add a pop of colour to the space without overpowering the scale of the room.
Arrange your décor with a few focal points to draw the eye around the room. This can help you gain a whole new perspective and highlight key areas of the space. In the bedroom, the focal point will be your bed, whilst in the dining room, this will be the table. However, in other rooms of your home, you can get creative. For example, you might want to create a reading nook near a statement fireplace, or perhaps a social area with a bar cart, record player and wall art.
There are a wide range of innovative ideas for creative storage solutions using walls, doors and ceiling room. Think outside of the box and utilise every bit of space available. Consider a bookshelf that reaches the ceiling, or ladder shelves for vertical storage solutions.
A quality expandable dining table is a must for anyone with a smaller space and a love for entertaining. This will give your dining room or kitchen more space day to day whilst accommodating for hosting friends and family.
Cleverly placed mirrors will make your room look larger by reflecting both natural and artificial light to give the impression of more space. Consider placing a mirror to reflect the outdoors to really open up a room. You may also want to consider mirrored furniture such as wardrobes, coffee tables and dressing tables.
