HOW TO MAXIMISE THE SPACE IN YOUR HOME
Smaller homes can easily have everything you want in a home more so than a larger house, but when it comes to decorating your home the smaller spaces can come with many challenges.
You have to be smart when choosing how to decorate each room to get the most out of each space. Follow these tips and tricks to organise and declutter in order to open up your home for a more comfortable living space.
MIRRORS MIRRORS MIRRORS
Using mirrors in a clever way can instantly make a space look bigger, opening up empty corners or walls and helping to spread light into darker areas.
USE EXPOSED LEG FURNITURE
Add a spin on classic furniture by using exposed leg tables and chairs without arms, making the space appear more open and fluid.
MOUNT YOUR TV
A whole TV table, with gaming consoles, TV boxes and any old DVDs you have laying around, can take up a lot of floor space in your living room. By mounting your TV above a
fireplace, on a wall or on top of a chest of draws can help free up some space and will give your room a less cluttered look.
CHOOSE NEUTRAL COLOURS
Neutral colours work well when you have natural lighting, and can actually fool the eye into thinking there’s more space in a room. You should keep the colour scheme neutral and throw in a couple of subtle textures and patterns to add some variety.
MAXIMISE KITCHEN SPACE
If like in most British homes your kitchen is a little packed when it comes to space, opting for a smaller retro fridge freezer is the best bet over the larger newer models.
