10 Reorganization Ideas That, Without Much Magic, Can Make Your Home Spar

Living in a small house does not mean you are at a disadvantage. Quite the contrary, it won’t take as long to clean it, it’s easier to organize and you’ll need less furniture to fill it. Still, when it comes to interior decorating, many people find it easier to fill a large room with more furniture than to make a small space appear larger than it is.

If this is a problem for you too, we at awesome.clublet us help you make your home feel bigger and, in the process, make it work in ways you never imagined.

The ideal way to create a feeling of greater space is to try using a light color palette. It doesn’t mean that everything needs to be completely neutral, but you can try mixing colors like light gray, cream and white.

Of course, there is a very simple explanation for this, because while lighter colored paints reflect natural light and make, for example, the room appear larger, darker colors, on the other hand, make the space seem smaller and cozy.

Do you know when the budget is already tight, but still, you dream of making your home spaces look bigger? A quick solution is to invest in mirrors, since, by retracting sunlight, they give the environment an illusion of depth.

That’s why it’s not uncommon for smaller apartments to see rooms with mirrored closet doors. Two other suggestions would be mirrors on the walls and glass table tops, as these will also give your room a more open feel.

When decorating your space, also try to escape the usual tips. For example, in small spaces, the tendency is often to place items against the wall. However, it is by moving furniture away from the perimeter of a room that we create an impression of separation. “People don’t realize it, but moving furniture apart can help define an area without having real walls,” says designer Linda Hayslett.

It is very common, throughout our lives, to keep objects of sentimental value or simply because we like their aesthetics. However, another suggestion is to try to be more selective in the items we choose for the house or apartment.

Instead of mixing your favorite objects, try to select the ones that best match the space and, little by little, remove one or two until you reach the perfect balance.

Curtains are also not great allies for small spaces, as they end up preventing you from enjoying the outside view, even if they don’t cover the entire window. In these cases, not using curtains keeps the space simple. The same is true when it comes to rugs.

If you want more privacy or don’t like your view, consider blinds or a lightweight fabric curtain (voil, linen, or chambray in the wall color). Another fundamental point to remember is the distribution of light, which makes your gaze move and not stay fixed on a single point.

Focusing on the height or width of a room is another trick to make the room feel more spacious. That is, if you have a room with high ceilings, focus on verticality by adding a tall bookcase or slim pendant lights. On the other hand, a large room with lower ceilings will benefit from flatter looks, such as horizontal paneling or stripes.

The smaller and lower the furniture, the larger the room will be. That’s because large furniture can end up dominating your small, compact space. Small loveseats or sofas, round dining tables and armless chairs are all good options. Sofas with thin bases and higher legs allow light to disperse underneath, making the environment more cohesive and, consequently, larger.

While bookshelves are bulky and use up unnecessary space, shelves with invisible backing are a smart solution for displaying your favorite decor items or books. If you can’t hang anything on the walls, a suggestion is to invest in shelves with thin edges and try to blend in as much as possible with the environment.

If you have a wall available and you don’t know exactly what to do with it, try incorporating a large piece of art, as it can help the room appear larger and will certainly capture the eyes of those who visit. However, if you prefer to hang a lot of artwork, don’t put them all on one wall, spread them around the house — this will keep the space more open.

A chest of drawers can be used as a coffee table, and a sofa bed or bed can have drawers, just as folding tables can be put away when you no longer need them. If you think functionally, it will also be easier for you to invest in the right objects and products for your home.
