Small Home, Big Dreams: Transforming Your Compact Space - August 2024
Don't let the size fool you; a small home can pack a big punch in design and functionality!
Despite not owning a spacious flat, a well-thought-out design can make a 72m² area feel like 120m². Here's how to mak e your cozy abode appear more spacious - take notes!
Living Room (9m²: 2.98m long, 3m deep)
- Simplicity is Key: Skip the complex TV backdrop and opt for plain white walls throughout.
- Merge with the Balcony: By integrating the balcony and living room, you create an airy and larger-looking space.
- Ceiling Magic: A simple 'double-eyelid' ceiling design circles the room, offering an illusion of height without gathering dust. Plus, incorporating a curtain box into the beam design adds both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Dining Room (10m²: 3m long, 3.3m wide)
- Essential Cabinetry: Wall-to-wall cabinets are a must for easy storage.
- The Perfect Table: A 1.4m white oak dining table fits beautifully with a natural wood theme.
- Vintage Vibes: A retro warm-tone dining light creates an inviting atmosphere.
Kitchen (4m²: 2.6m long, 1.55m wide)
- Sleek Surfaces: Choose glossy tiles for walls that are easy to clean, and terrazzo floor tiles for durability and slip resistance.
- Stylish Cabinets: White and wood-toned cabinets with a diagonal handle design offer simplicity and elegance.
- Smart Storage: Utilize jar racks to keep countertops clutter-free.
- Light It Up: Installing light strips under cabinets enhances both functionality and ambiance.
