Making Use of Smaller Living Space

It’s a really cozy and warm experience if you have a small home or apartment. Many people have small homes, most people live in a small apartment because they can’t afford a bigger one. But there are many people also choose a small apartment or home just because they're tired of organizing and taking care of a larger place and want to reduce the size of their residence to get a more cozy and relaxing experience.

Here are a few tips and tricks which may help you out while planning the interior décor of your small residence. Always remember that you can adapt techniques that can help you make small places look much bigger and airy and these tips will help you with them:

1. The color of the walls plays a vital role in the overall look of any room. If you have small space always select soft tones of blues and greens or simply off white. Light and soft colors will make the place look much more spacious.

2. Be sure that any furniture does not block walkways such as the lobby or an entrance. If the sofa, couch or ottoman blocks the entrance or one room’s view from the other room it will make the space feel crowded and thus much smaller.

3. If you have furniture that is pretty much in contrast with the walls and the rugs that would be best. Because pairing up colors and making different color combinations makes the place look more occupied and crowded.

4. If you hang a very large mirror on one of the walls it will reflect the whole room and this makes the room look more spacious.

5. The lighting effects in your room should be perfectly in contrast with your rugs and walls, Never choose too dull or dim light as it makes the room look very dull and small. Bright lights on the other had added a cool touch to small rooms. Especially if you have a large mirror in your room.
