9 Tips For Decorating A Small House
As the population continues to grow, so does the number of houses. But, house sizes are changing over time. Big size, large living area, open balcony, big bedroom all in one house is not available anymore like before. This is not even possible, especially in a place like Dhaka where life is getting tougher and tougher every day. Moreover, many people do not have the time and ability to manage a large house.
To solve this problem and to cater to this demand, the number of tall buildings and small apartments is increasing day by day. Most homes are being built as one, two or three-bedroom apartments. As these houses are in the center of the city, it saves some time in work and useful work.
But decorating a small house is quite difficult. In particular, not all apartments are functionally built. Also, too much furniture and accessories can create a very confined environment. When decorating a small house you need to evaluate every part of the house. So to make your work easier, today I will discuss how you can decorate even a small house aesthetically.
1. Use of light and color
The first rule of decorating a small house is to maximize lighting. Keep the space in front of the window clear and allow light to enter. You can use floor lamps in bookcases, dining tables, living rooms, etc As a result, the light will spread around. Can use a table lamp for home office, study table, side table etc.
Use light colored screens. Choose light colors like white, cream and soft beige when it comes to room colors. As a result, your home will look bigger and sleeker. This also applies to your furniture and home decor. Choose white or beige floors with white walls, white doors and light brown furniture. White or similar shades will make your home look monochromatic and by reflecting the light from the lamps, the room will seem bigger.
2. Use of mirrors
Mirrors are the secret weapon of small apartment decorating. Mirrors spread light around the room, making it look bigger and brighter. Choose a backsplash design with a large mirror leaning against one wall in your living area or a mirror in the kitchen. If the cabinet doors are mirrored, you will also save space and reflect light. Instead of a heavy dressing table, you can buy a small dresser with a tall mirror. You can hang the ornaments and things of daily use on the wall by pulling the board.
3. Multifunctional furniture
Small spaces require furniture that does two things simultaneously. Choose a futon that converts from a sofa to a bed in your living room. With hidden storage, compartments can serve as extra seating and blanket storage. The folding table can be stored away neatly when not in use. Or if the Murphy bed is folded away in the morning, it frees up a lot of floor space. Move furniture away from walls. It makes the room feel more spacious and makes the room look bigger.
4. Use of cabinets
As storage is created by using cabinets, space increases and everything feels organized. Steel cabinets are best for kitchen. You can also use it in the bathroom if you want. Instead of closed cabinets, open shelves or boxes can be used to store small and large items. It will have enough light and air in the room.
5. Use of screens and room dividers
In small spaces, room dividers work very well. Room dividers can separate the living room and bedroom in a studio apartment. The space in front of the cupboard can be converted into a vanity room. Even in between spending time with guests in the dining area, a separate play area can be created for the kids. You can also use the slider screen. This will save a lot of space.
6. Save kitchen space
You can keep pegboard in the kitchen. It is a special type of board with holes so that you can hang different things. It will easily keep everything organized and everything close at hand. Cane, plastic baskets can be used to store raw vegetables, fruits, dry onions, garlic etc.
7. Appropriate use of bedroom space
You can use various boxes, baskets, shelves for storage in small bedrooms. A night-stand with drawers and shelves can be used for extra space. A folding table can be placed in front of the bed, which will create a seating area as well as add a special dimension. Try not to put too much furniture in the bedroom, especially the bed should be of appropriate size.
The space under the bed can be put to good use. You can keep daily useful things in small boxes or shelves. Again, unnecessary things that you can't move now or can't keep due to lack of storage, can also be kept here. For example, many people use box bed compartments to store clothes, books or papers.
8. Living room and dining room
If you can't afford a large sofa, using a loveseat is great. A loveseat with 1-2 chairs or another loveseat can create a cozy living room. Instead of multiple dining chairs in the dining room, you can have a bench. Place a bistro table with brightly colored chairs in the living room or dining room. If possible, buy a nice rocking chair.
Many homes do not have much space between the living room and the dining room. In that case, you can make a dining room by placing a small table and 2-3 rattan chairs between these two parts. If you want, you can keep a folding chair or table.
9. Keep a touch of green
Placing small shrubs, cactus or bonsai plants on the balcony will make your house seem bigger. You can also buy a rug and a few cushions to create a nice seating area. Here you can enjoy a cup of tea or read your favorite book in the evening on a rainy day.
