Most of us living in apartments experience space constraint. Modern homes now even come with dry kitchen in the living area, which already has to accommodate a dining table, your L-shaped sofa set, the TV console and more. While it isnt’t possible to expand the space, there are various ways you can make your home look more inviting.
1. Clear Out The Clutter
That means keep only what you need. Declutter your space and get rid of things you have probably kept for years without using. Remember, out of sight, out of mind. If you don’t see it, you probably don’t need it.
2. Let The Light In
A well-lit room definitely gives your home a boost in the day. Take advantage of natural light whenever you can. It’s that simple.
3. Matching Colours
Coordinate the colours of furniture, wall, flooring and everything in your line of sight. Contrasting colours tend to create disruption in visual if not clevery used.
Try earthy tones. Greyish sofa set, with off white walls and light-coloured wooden furniture.
4. Mirror, Miror On The Wall
Reflection is an easy way to make the space look bigger. Drop down mirrors can be used on cabinet doors or large mirrors on the wall will do the trick.
5. Hidden Storage
Cleverly built furniture with hidden compartments gives you more storage. You can chuck your old newspapers, keep your books or rarely used items so as not to take up more space.
6. Fake Bigger Curtains
Your living room may not come with drop down windows from top to toe, or wall to wall. But you can create an illusion of spaciousness and luxury with curtains.
Custom-make your curtains from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, even if the windows are way smaller.
Having your own space is not a dream anymore.
