10 Ideas for Organizing and Decorating a Small Home

Small homes can be a challenge when it comes to organization, storage, and decoration options. Nonetheless, if we are just a little creative and patient, by applying some simple tricks to home organization and decoration, we can create that dream home we have always wished for.

Focusing on minimal design and building up a dream space, the home renovation Toronto industry concentrates more on products and finishes that will appeal to the personal taste of every homeowner. All we need to do is carefully plan every inch of our space and find the best way to make use of all the space we have available.

Choose bright colors

Light colors, such as yellow and green, can make a room brighten up and also visually enhance the space. However, if you live in a rented apartment and cannot paint your walls, you can opt for fabric wallpaper, which is inexpensive and can be easily removed just with water when you need to move. Also, no gluing is involved since they are put on walls by using liquid starch.

Choose multiple purpose furniture

If you live in a small space, then you are aware of the fact that every inch counts. So, by choosing double-duty furniture, you will gain functionality and storage space without sacrificing any additional space for your home. Hidden storage space, e.g., in a hollow ottoman, can make life in a small space much easier.

Make the most use of your space

One way of accomplishing this is by making use of the vertical space you have. So, you can have custom-made cabinets and shelves fitted in your kitchen. Or, if you wish to make the room look bigger, you can opt for open shelf storage, which will not cut down on storage space, but give the impression of a bigger room.

Stair space

If your home has a large staircase, it can be converted into a small office space that can be placed underneath. Or, if this is not possible, you can convert the stairs into drawers and gain in storage space without losing any floor space of your home.

Designate zones using furniture

If you need to add a function to a room but do not wish to divide the spaces with a wall, a nice solution would be to divide the spaces using furniture. For example, you can place a bookshelf instead of a wall, which will divide the two spaces and create a sense of unity between them.

Leggy furniture

By opting for leggy furniture, you visually add to your space. Even though this does not actually expand your floor space, it at least gives the illusion of a bigger room.

Bunk and loft beds

Bunk beds are a good solution if you have more than one child because they take up as much room as one bed and leave your kids with more room to play in. however, if you live alone, you can have a loft bed installed and save up on floor space in this way.

Design options

One of the ways in which you can visually expand your space is by grouping your artwork together. Also, you can purchase large paintings or sculptures, which also create the illusion of a larger space. Another trick is to repeat the same pattern or motive in a room, or you could use stripes.

Install mirrors

Possibly the best solution for a small space is a well-placed large mirror since it adds depth and fullness to a room. In addition, mirrors make a space seem brighter, which again creates the illusion of a bigger room.

Bathroom ideas

If you are faced with this sort of challenge, first of all, you should choose warm and bright colors. Also, there are many storage options you might want to consider, one of which is open shelf storage, and another is custom cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling and thus make use of the vertical space, which would normally go unused. Or, you can choose modular bathrooms, modular bathroom pods, and prefabricated bathrooms which can be adapted to your liking.

Each home and homeowner is unique, and, of course, there are no rules as to how to organize your home. However, by taking advantage of these pieces of advice, you can create a home to your liking in any way you wish.
