Creating a Small but Comfortable Space
For several years, there has been a growing trend for tiny living spaces. Even as some parts of society look for more and bigger levels of consumption, an ever-larger subset of people is looking to own less, use less, and live more efficiently.
Living in a small space can be deeply satisfying in terms of freeing up time and money for travel and other adventures. The process of setting up a functional and comfortable small space requires a bit of planning and design knowledge. From choosing multi-use appliances, like a combined washer dryer, to paring down possessions, a thorough review of and plan for the needs of a small space is necessary.
A small, round table can take up much less space than a standard square or rectangular table. The round table can sit in the center of a space and still allow room around the edges of the room for additional storage or living area. In addition, the round table brings the whole family closer together while dining, thus facilitating more connection and conversation.
If your home includes a television, mount the television to the wall. Not only will you save floor space, you will also have an easy, sleek focal point for your living area.
The television isn't the only thing you can out on the wall. Wall-mounted shelves also create a beautiful desk and storage space, once again saving valuable floor space and creating interest in the room.
Plan different spaces inside your home for different uses. Think about where the living, eating, and sleeping spaces will be. These areas can be designated by moveable curtains or screens without the heaviness of extra walls.
In addition to the appliances mentioned above, find furniture that can have multiple uses. A long, deep couch can double as a guest bed. Some tables might double as a desk and a dining table.
Mirrors and windows to make space feel larger. Install mirrors on kitchen or living area cabinets, especially in areas where they can pick up light from the windows. Choose window coverings that will allow light into the room, such as sheer curtains or adjustable blinds.
With a little planning and thought, a tiny home can be a welcoming and comfortable space. The size, function, and placement of items in the home can make all the difference. A combined washer dryer here, a round dining table there, and a mirror over there will transform a tiny space into a comfortable home.
