Smaller homes are often challenging to decorate. You may not have the space to incorporate all the furniture items of your choosing and might be worried about how you can optimally utilise your home without giving it a claustrophobic feel. We have five tips for you to consider in your small-living home decor.
1. Consider multipurpose furniture

Incorporate pieces in your home that can be utilised for a variety of different purposes. Add a bed with storage space at the bottom, or use a table that can easily be folded away near the wall once you’re done utilising it. There are so many different furniture items to choose from, so be creative and watch your place transform.
2. Use statement pieces on your walls

Instead of cluttering up walking spaces, integrate paintings, artworks, and statement mirrors on your empty walls. Do not overcrowd your space with items, but rather add a few bold items that bring the place together nicely.
3. Vertical storage

Incorporate stylish shelves and add-ons to your bathroom, kitchen, and other rooms where you’ll likely fit a wide array of items when do not want to create a mess within your home. Do not overstack your shelves – if used correctly, they can accessorise your place and effectively be used for pragmatic purposes.
4. Strategically utilise rugs

In smaller homes, a sitting room may also serve as a makeshift office space or fitness zone, and in these cases, sectioning is key. To designate areas within your home, use rugs to section off spaces. This is a great way to give your place a more organised feel even if a specific room serves diverse purposes.
