Small Space Hacks: Making Every Inch Count
Living in a small space doesn’t mean sacrificing style or comfort. With clever design choices, you can optimize your space while maintaining an inviting atmosphere. Check out some simple tips below for making the most of your small but perfectly formed oasis.
TIP #1: CHOOSE MULTI-PURPOSE FURNITURE
Invest in furniture that serves multiple purposes, like a chair or sofa that doubles as a bed for guests or coffee tables with built-in storage. Stackable chairs and stools and dining tables that flex are also great space savers.
TIP #2: HANG ART VERTICALLY
Utilise vertical space by incorporating shelves and hanging artworks in a vertical arrangement. This approach draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of higher ceilings and more space. Consider placing smaller pieces one above the other or using a tall, narrow piece to emphasise height.
Define different areas within your small space using rugs, furniture placement or screens. This helps create distinct zones for relaxation, work, or dining without overwhelming the area.
Light-coloured walls and decor can make a small room feel more open and airy. Consider using soft pastels or whites for a fresh look.
Instead of hanging everything, consider leaning framed artwork against walls or on shelves. This casual display method makes it easy to change out pieces regularly as well as introduce larger statement pieces.
