If you live in a small space or plan to downsize, the biggest challenge in decorating is to find furniture that enhances small rooms. Overall, the ideal types of furniture should not make your home look too cramped. Instead, you should find efficient and space maximizing pieces that serve multiple functions.
Get convertible furniture.
Modern furniture manufacturers understand the need for efficient furniture that suits the small living lifestyle. It’s now easy to find brands that embrace the lagom living aesthetic in which minimalism and efficiency are top priorities. One of our favorite places to get space-saving furniture is Expand Furniture, where you can find coffee tables that convert to dining tables, wall beds, storage ottomans, couches that convert to beds, and more.
With the right furniture choices, your small breakfast nook can unfold to accommodate a dinner party or game night. When you have multiple overnight guests, a couch can pull out and become a crash pad for your friends. This allows you to live your normal day-to-day life with furniture that takes up little space but can expand when you need it to.
Go for lighter colors.
Dark colors can make a home look smaller because they absorb light. However, if you get lighter-colored furniture like pale blue, light grey, white, and other cheerful palettes, then the furniture will make the room look bigger. By reflecting light, These color choices will expand your room’s perceived size. Maximize this effect by painting your walls with lighters such as white, cream, or pale blue.
Get as much “sneaky” storage as possible.
Clutter is one of the main reasons why a home can look smaller. When you get furniture that contains more storage space, you can hide these space-sucking items and make your home look more spacious. Grab strategic items like storage ottomans, end tables that have drawers underneath, or floating shelves.
These accessible storage solutions make it easy to tuck away loose items like cords, throws, and occasionally used gear to make your home look bigger. You can find storage solutions online and in any hardware store. We particularly like Bed Bath and Beyond’s small space savers collection. This evolving group of products is designed to optimize the smallest of spaces — college dormitories — so it’s sure to add value to a condo or starter home too!
