Living in a tiny home or studio apartment? Smaller living areas can be cozy, but sometimes it’s a challenge to get the most out of less space. Here’s a beginners guide to interior design for the small spaces in your home.
Adding depth to your room can make a small space appear larger. Adding reflective mirrors or glass does a fantastic job accomplishing this. Reflective surfaces give the illusion of more space in a room. Painting and decorating with light shades can make the space feel even more dimensional, open and airy.
After you’ve added depth, it’s essential to utilize the area to the best of its capability. The next section reviews how to get the most out of the space in your small home.
Every corner in your home can be useful and fun. For example, you may enjoy board games. Add a coffee table with storage space to your living room. You can enjoy light refreshments with your household along with creating a space to enjoy the games you love.
It’s essential to make sure there’s enough open floor space in your home for movement. Small homes can become cramped quickly. Using more compact furniture helps to give the appearance of more room. For example, a two-seater dining table can be added to your kitchen. This leaves more kitchen space open to maneuver.
As the last section mentioned, you want to keep your space open for free movement. Vertical furniture can help you get the most out of small spaces. For example, bunk beds can hold two individuals and don’t take up as much floor room as two separate beds.
You can create space in your small home with the right layouts. Add reflective surfaces to any small room for depth. Keep an open furniture layout and make the most of vertical space.
Barbara started in Real Estate in 2006 after another Realtor told her that her personality made her a perfect fit for the industry. There is no doubt that Barbara’s lively personality and warm heart make her an awesome Realtor. Barbara was born in Italy and speaks fluent Italian. She grew up in Medford and eventually moved to Everett where she resides today. Her personality combined with her background in home insurance and customer service make her experienced in multiple facets of Real Estate and willing to work hard to help her clients achieve their goals. In my spare time I volunteer at animal shelters and foster dogs until we find their forever home. I am also proud to say that with every transaction I complete, a portion of my commission is donated to a local animal shelter.
