Less is more
First of all, think about what you really need. Get rid of what you no longer use? In addition to ending the clutter, this is the best starting point to be able to think about a new design for your home.
A balanced distribution
In other words, it is important to define priorities, give more space to the divisions where you spend more time and think about how to make a space more functional. The next step is to find the best storage solutions and also those that best suit the habits of those who live there.
Open spaces
If we are talking about a very small space divided into two or three divisions, start by thinking about removing some walls, for example. You can connect the kitchen space with the living room or eliminate some unnecessary doors. The result will be a larger and more comfortable apartment.
Let in natural light
The more natural light a space receives, the bigger it will look. It's simple: fewer walls and more windows. You can enjoy and play with light tones and simple lines on fabrics, furniture or curtains and you will be able to significantly increase the light in your home.
Bright colors
This is one of the best tricks to increase the feeling of space and it never hurts to repeat it. Light colors, such as white, creams or grays multiply the light and consequently increase the size of the spaces. For example: if you want your room to look bigger or more square, paint the wall opposite the entrance door in a warm tone. If you want to give the illusion of a higher ceiling, paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls.
Multifunctional solutions
When it comes to small spaces, every inch counts, so it's worth investing in furniture that can perform more than one function. A bed that has storage space below, benches instead of chairs for the dining table, shelves that serve as desks. The solutions are many, just a good dose of creativity.
Decorate vertically!
If your space is high enough, you can take advantage and create a kind of attic, which can be used as a work space. If not, don't worry. Use a wall that is freer and add tall shelves, instead of wide ones, to store books, dishes, records or films.
Enjoy every corner of the house
Identify the "dead spaces" in your apartment and assess whether or not you can give them a function with an extra piece of furniture, for example. A corner of a room or a corridor is always a good space to place partitions and make them shelves, for example.
