Six tips on optimising your space in a small home
Homes are becoming more and more expensive, if the headlines and experts are to be believed. Living on a larger scale will grow more and more costly and perhaps become unaffordable, especially for young people. Many people are therefore opting to downsize. However, we all tend to accumulate a lot of things in the course of life. What do you do with it all if you don’t have much space? How do you optimise the space in a small home? You’ll find a number of basic tips below. And if they don’t work, there’s always Box@Home.
How do you optimise the space in a small home?
- Optimise the natural light. Install an extra window or skylight and avoid large blinds or curtains that obstruct the light.
- Go for neutral tones that reflect natural light and make any room look bigger.
- Use no more than three colours, possibly together with an accent colour to add depth.
- Use mirrors to make the room look twice as big.
- Use furniture that is practical, suitable, small and compact. But definitely make sure you have enough storage space.
Most importantly, Tip 6: opt for smart storage space
Opt for inconspicuous, built-in cupboards and a raised bed on a platform, so that you have extra storage space under the bed. Put storage units over your door or just below the ceiling. Divide the space into intimate, cosy corners with an open unit that you can then use as storage space. Install your workplace under the stairs and put a kitchen island in the middle of the room that becomes a kitchen, table, work surface and bar all in one. As you can see, there are plenty of options. Are you still unable to create enough storage space? Then let Box@Home help you.
