1. Open Floor Plan: Eliminating walls that separate the living, dining, and kitchen areas will create an illusion of a larger space. An open floor plan allows for better flow of natural light, air conditioning and improves the overall functionality of the home.
2. Multi-Functional Rooms: Combining two functions into one room will maximize the use of space. For example, the living or bedroom can double as a workspace by adding a desk or a pull-out bed.
3. Vertical Space: Adding shelves to walls, using vertical storage, utilizing high ceilings, and stacking storage can help to reduce clutter and optimize space.
4. Smart Storage: Clever storage ideas like built-in storage under the stairs, wall-mounted cabinets, and pull-out drawers in kitchen cabinets will help to maximize storage space and ensure belongings are organized and easily accessible in smaller homes.
5. Outdoor Space: Designing a small outdoor area such as a balcony or patio with outdoor furniture and potted plants, will help to extend living space, making the home feel more spacious.
6. Natural Light: Large windows, skylights, and light color schemes will allow natural light to flood the home and effectively make the room feel larger.
7. Minimalism Approach: Stick to sleek and clean-lined furniture, minimal accessories, and keep the décor to a minimum. This not only helps in creating the illusion of more space but also makes it easier to keep the home clean and organized.
