You can make your house look bigger. Did you know it?

People don’t pay close attention to details, that’s why they think size is important. But we can’t desagree more, what really cares is to make the most of what we already have. That’s the point.

A small house can be as charming as a grand mansion. At the end, it all comes down to having good taste for decoration. A tiny home will create a spacious impression if furniture arrangement and its typology are suitable. It all depends, essentially, on creativity. Let your imagination run free or let yourself be advised by the experts. You remain convinced that you only have a little bit, but don’t fool yourself. Your home has much to offer. Let’s go by parts, or by rooms.

1. YOUR LIVING ROOM IS BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU THINK 

–    Same kind of color: If the color cast of the furniture blends with the color of the walls, the size of your living room will expand miraculously. If you don’t want your lounge to look like a matchbox, it would be better to avoid the contrast between colors. Choose them cool and soft and you will see the result.

–    Be selective: You can’t place everything you wanted in your living-room. Be realistic, you don’t have enough space. The living room must not be overloaded with furniture. That could be overwhelming. Be careful with the selection of the furniture choosing something that saves space and looks nice.

–    Armchairs instead of sofa: Forget about putting that huge couch in the middle of the living room. Imagine the alternative route you should take in order to get to the kitchen with that enormous thing disturbing you. A pair of elegant armchairs would be as comfortable as any sofa, and moving around your living room won’t become an ordeal anymore.

–    Take account of the kind of light: If you don’t want your friends to bend their head once they come to your house, point the direction of your lights to the ceiling. It will seem that your flat has increased its height. Nobody will talk about claustrophobia when they get into your home.

–    Look at the space your walls offer: Don’t panic, there is a solution for everything. You won’t have to throw away all your treasured objects if you use something as simple as shelves. Why do you have to store everything you have in drawers and cupboards that take up too much space if you can hang it on the wall?

–    Game of mirrors: The old trick of the mirror never goes wrong in order to provide the living room with an effect of spaciousness. When your room seems to shrink, a large mirror on the wall will help you.

2. DON’T BE A CONTORSIONIST IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN

–    White is right: Go for the white color for furniture and artificial light. You won’t have the feeling that you are cooking somewhere with the size of a tile.

–    Hang them on the wall: If you are a true chef and you don’t want to get rid of your kitchen utensils because there is no place for them, hang them on the wall! They will always be within your reach.

–    Be careful with kitchen appliances: Don’t get stuck in your own kitchen as if you were in the middle of a traffic jam. There are objects that must be placed in particular spaces so that you can move freely. Try to put all your kitchen appliances next to each other, in both the vertical and horizontal positions in order to remove visual obstacles.

–    Foldable tables and chairs, please: If you are the one of those who like eating in the kitchen, you have a way to use furniture without occupying space: your tables and chairs must be foldable. They won’t be in the middle of the kitchen if you don’t have to use them.

3. TAKE A SHOWER WITHOUT FEAR OF BREAKING THINGS

–    Small furniture for small bathrooms: When it comes to storing lotions, creams and gels, you must choose low furniture so that you can’t even feel its presence. And if this kind of furniture can be easily moved thanks to its wheels, it will be perfect.

–    Hanging on the wall can be cheap: If you want to save not only space, but also money, try to find some hang taps so that you can hang your towels on the wall. They are cheap, effective and practical.

 

How does your house look now? Does it look the same? Now, you will be able to organize that housewarming party that you couldn’t celebrate in the past. Go and prepare it!
