If you have a small house or apartment, it doesn’t mean you have to restrict yourself from styling your home. Decorating a little space can be a puzzle that you are supposed to solve because you need to fit stuff as much as you can. While doing this, sometimes we over-decorate our smaller spaces that appear awkward or simply cluttered. But, now it is possible to flaunt your style in little spaces with some little yet effective ideas like adding a rectangle wall mirror or increasing the light tactically.
So, here are some rules which you should keep in mind while decorating your tiny houses, or you can say the dos and don’ts of decorating such spaces. As your house should be filled with personality, theme and style, it shouldn’t be chaotic. Let’s make things happen!
Do’s
Clear up your floor
Well, the foremost thing that someone can notice when entered in your little house can be the floor. Do not clutter up your floor or just let things minimize the floor surface. That’s our biggest mistake. The more clearly the floor looks, the bigger our space appears. So, it is always recommended to clear up the floor if you have tiny homes. Simply hide your stuff and create more storage.
Rectangle wall mirrors for amazing interior
If you want your home to appear bigger, then add an oversized rectangle wall mirror. It will surely enhance the flow of the image and let your house reflect in the mirror, too. This way you can make your house bigger by 2X, but that’s just an illusion, which can trick any guest. They will feel like sitting in a spacious home.
How do mirrors affect space?
Well, the thing is, when an object is reflected in the mirror, it appears as double. The same is the case with the walls of your house. The more mirrors you have, the more your house would look larger. Also, mirrors are great for increasing the brightness of any space.
Multi-functional or folded furniture
One more thing that you must not ignore while buying stuff for your smaller homes is opting for folded items. When you search in the furniture market, you have thousands of options of multi-functional or folded furniture articles. This is recommended because as much space you can save, it will help the space look bigger. So, in smaller homes, multi-functional tables or chairs are perfect to include.
Strengthen lighting
You have to be very careful while setting up the interior of little spaces. You must not ignore lighting. If you add more and more lights, you can simply make your spaces glow and appear larger enough. Well, for that one more trick works very well, i.e. adding lights strategically. If you opt for different kinds of lights and add them in an unusual way it will create a wonderful interior; for instance, using them right about the sofa, hanging lights and floor lamp for library and recessed lights in kitchen.
Place bigger furniture on parameters
Well, you do not a bigger house, it doesn’t mean you ditch large furniture. But, yeah! You have to be strategic when you are going to put them. Instead of placing large couches, bookcases or sofas in the middle of the floor, place them against the wall.
Go creative with more storage
This is not limited for small spaces; you should create more and more storage in your home to keep your space clutter-free. For this, you can opt for such furniture that has more or even hidden storage just like an ottoman. Or simply DIY create storage by hanging stuff behind the doors, or creating storage under your bed. Make sure not to clutter up the floor, just create storage in something already placed.
Freshen up with plants
Just add plants! It’s not only going to keep the air fresh but also adds to aesthetics. You can never imagine the power of adding plants and flowers in small spaces. They create a brilliant interior, so do not hesitate to add them to your little yet functional home.
Don’ts
Don’t place your TV on the table, Mount-it!
Instead of placing your TV on the table, make sure to hang it on the wall. If you opt for mounting the TV on the wall, it will save some space. Plus, you can hide your TV in the cabinets that you have made in the TV lounge. If the cabins are huge enough to store TV, go for this unique idea. You can even save it from getting dust and scratches.
Don’t be afraid to add rugs
Rugs are really important in small homes. They add dimension and patterns in any space. So, if you want to let your space appear bigger, add more rugs, under sofas, tables or even dining tables. Well, you can also add rugs under your bed, that’s just optional.
Don’t ignore corners
Well, usually we forget to utilize the corner walls of our home. If one has a smaller home, he should decorate the corners, too. It will help to create a great dimension plus a beautiful interior of your home.
Last but not least!
Smaller homes aren’t difficult to decorate or we shouldn’t leave them bare, they are just tricky to style as we have to keep them functional, too. So, putting an extra-large dining table, and cutting the visual flow by creating bold themes don’t suit small spaces. Try these hacks and let your space feel free!
