Hacks to Maximise space in a small home
Maximize Space in your Living room:
- Mount your TV to the wall: If you have a narrow living room, instead of placing your TV on a TV table, you can mount it to the wall. It will save space by offering a modern and less cluttered look.
- Cohesive Colour scheme: A cohesive color scheme will streamline the design process. Seeing that all your furniture and items are the same color and don’t clash will ensure your living space has a calm vibe. Try to have a light shade of the color.
- Add Mirrors: Confused about what to put up that won’t make the house look too cluttered? Mirrors do just the job. They create an illusion of a large space. Stick them up on your wall. It’s a pretty and practical hack.
- Transparent or Glass center table: Placing a transparent/ glass center table in your living room will trick the eye into thinking that there is more space than there actually is.
Maximize Space in your Kitchen:
- Hang up magnetic strips: To save space on your countertops, hang up stainless steel utensils like forks and knives. You also magnetic cup holders for the wall and a magnetic spice jar holder.
- Put up pot and pan holders: By putting up floating shelves, you can store pots, pans, and other light appliances.
- Practical Placement: If you don’t have much storage space, keeping items like a tea kettle or a frying pan on the stove will help. Besides freeing up some internal space, they will give your kitchen a cozy look.
- Put up a shelf for your Mini plants: If you love having plants around you, but do not have a place for big ones, attach a shelf on your kitchen window and place some mini potted plants like succulents on it. A floating shelf will ensure that you get in optimal sunlight.
Maximize Space in your Bedroom:
- Furniture with storage: Consider buying furniture with a headboard, built-in bookshelves, or with storage space and drawers under it. It’s a great way to have extra storage space without getting extra furniture into the room.
- Embrace Natural light: To open up the room, put up curtains in white or any light color. They accent your windows and bring in all the natural light.
- Small Closets: When you have a small room, you will definitely need to have a small closet for your stuff. So make sure to keep cleaning it out and donating old things. Only keep things you actually need and use.
- Hanging lights: To save on floor space, skip the floor lamp. Hang up lights or put them up on your wall. This gives your room a good vibe.
Maximize Space in your Bathroom:
- Fill up every nook neatly: To maximize every nook and corner in your home, don’t forget the bathroom cabinet. A mirror with a medicine cabinet is very convenient and saves a lot of space. It also looks neat and allows you to make the most of the storage space you have.
- Layer up: On your bathroom rack where you hang up your bath towels, layer them. This not only makes your bathroom look fancy like a high-end luxury hotel, but you also save on lots of space.
- Free up floor space: Have a hanging sink that is not attached to the floor and do not keep anything on the floor, besides a mat.
- Cosmetic organizer for your wall: Instead of keeping your cosmetics on the sink platform along with your soap and brushes, keep them in a cabinet that you can attach to the wall.
I really hope these hacks help you and you transform your tiny space into a stylish one!
