A small property does not need to adopt the minimalist style. However, too much furniture can compromise the visual aesthetics of the house or apartment and make it seem like the place is messy all the time, with all the things piled up.
Therefore, when making the house look bigger, invest wisely in choosing furniture, size and quantity.
Wrong curtain length
The curtain is an important item in the decoration of a house and can give it a special charm. Therefore, choosing the right curtain size is very important to prevent the house from looking clumsy.
At this time, choose curtains that are floor length or slightly higher. On windows with a deeper sill, curtains can be made smaller, sized just below the windowsill.
Inappropriate use of colors
There is a myth that small spaces should be painted in light colors to increase the feeling of space. However, you can and should use strong colors to bring more personality to the space. Ideally, invest in the right color tricks to create depth.
Do not use multifunctional furniture
Small houses must have furniture multifunctional, which manage to meet more than one need at the same time. The sofa bed is one of the best known examples, but the closet bed and the pull-out wardrobe also make the list.
too many lights
The large amount of lights can have the reverse effect of what you're looking for when making the house look bigger. Houses that are too bright and full of lights can not only make the space not very cozy, but also not make the space feel bigger.
To do this, invest in ceiling lights aimed at an object that you want to highlight and add a play of different lights to adjust the mood of the room as you like.
furniture size
The small house does not necessarily need to have small furniture. On the contrary, larger furniture, in small quantities, can bring a feeling of a more spacious home.
