5 Ideas to Maximise the Space of a Small Home

March 10, 2020 by Jarred

Small houses or apartments may not be everyone’s cup of tea; however, it is a reality for some, either because of choice or not. If a career move requires you to transfer to a densely inhabited city, then, chances are, you are bracing yourself for an apartment building living scenario. While most people may not be used to residing in limited space, some people find it practical and better without unnecessary clutter.

But a small home does not necessarily mean a cramped living area. Here are some ideas to maximise the space of your apartment in the city.

Space-saving furniture

When choosing furniture for your small home, the key is not the looks, but function. Modern online and physical shops cater to some of the most ergonomic and functional cabinets, tables, storage, or chairs. You will be amazed at how these innovations can maximise your space.

Maximising bathroom space

Small bathrooms are sometimes a deal-breaker for many people who are looking into moving in an apartment. But just like any parts of a small home, bathroom spaces can also be capitalised on. Light paint colour choices make any tiny space feel more open.

The light source also plays a major role to make your shower pods fit perfectly in your bathroom. Using LEDs for downlighting is ideal for compact-sized bathrooms, this averts gloomy corners and dark angles from appearing, making the space look bigger.

Decorating tips

Your decoration choices also contribute to the breathing space of an apartment. For smaller homes, modern designs, such as gleaming wall decors, pleasing paint hues, and enticing drapery surfaces are ideal in smaller homes. The key here is to limit or minimise the outlines and colours. Make the best use of your mood board by putting up only the essential, and also consider the amount of space it will take up.

Maximising bedroom space

When it comes to bedroom space, you may want to think through the existing and your possible upcoming stuff that’ll be stored in this space. Small living may limit your material possessions to only a few, but such can also help you determine what is only needed. Controlling your desire to buy unimportant items will also mean that you don’t have to buy extra cabinets or storage furniture.

Installing a platform inside your bedroom is another idea that can give you extra storage space for your personal items. Consider placing your bed above the platform, then tuck away your things underneath.

Focus on organising

Sometimes, buying extra storage equipment is not necessary for stashing your items; simple organising will do. By determining first whether fitted closets or cupboards are ideal for you, and how much space they’ll make use of will significantly improve the room’s appearance.

Your apartment in the city may be small, but with the above tips, you can take full advantage of space even if it’s limited. Once you realise the potential only a compact space can offer, you’ll benefit with the practicality this modern living can bring to your life.
