1. Use unused space
The bed is the number one furniture to take up the most space in your room. It is possible to make use of the space under the bed, by either investing in higher bed legs and storage boxes that fit under the bed. Here you can store clothes, bedclothes or towels. Another smart, but more complex, option is to build a bed frame from a couple of drawers. The height in a room is often unused space that can be good to utilize, for instance use high bookshelves, wall shelves or maybe build a loft bed.
2. Light and colour
Which colours and how much light you incorporate into your space can make a major difference in how the room is perceived. Light colours and the right lights make the room perceive larger than it really is.
3. Curtains, carpet and mirrors
How you decide to furnish and decorate your room can also make an impact on how the room is perceived. If you have curtains a good idea is to hang them as high up as possible, preferably from the roof. A big light carpet can do wonders for your space, it creates an illusion of bigger floor space. Another smart tip is to set up mirrors close to your windows, they create a feeling of depth and reflect natural and artificial light and make the room brighter and feel bigger.
4. Smart organization
There are a lot of smart storage solutions that can be worth investing in. By overlooking and maximizing your organization can make a big difference for your space. You can make your storage more compact with smart and stackable solutions. To ease your organization it can be a good idea to clear out the things you do not use and make space for all your important things.
Hopefully this has given you some ideas on how to maximize your compact living space. Take your time to plan and find the smartest solutions for your personal space and then do the make-over and feel the difference.
