If you’re living in a small space in 2020, you may be struggling with how to make your home feel homey rather than chaotic. This year brought lots of change – many of us are spending practically every hour in our home. With the rise of working from home, many of us are feeling cramped spending a lot of time in multifunctional rooms. Whether you live in a studio or apartment, or just need some tips for de-cluttering your home, here are some hints to home bliss.
Mirrors are your friend
Mirrors reflect light and make a space feel bigger. This is an easy hack to “increase” the square footage of your space without paying for a bigger home!
Be smart about your windows
Windows are a wonderful design element in any home, but they’re even more vital in small spaces. One easy way to instantly change up your space involves long curtains. Here’s what you’ll do: hang the curtain rod much higher than you usually would. Place the curtain rods almost to the ceiling so that you have floor-length drapes. It sounds simple but really makes a difference!
Make space when you need to
At a certain point, you realize that you just have too much stuff for your space. Donate or throw out things you realistically don’t use. However, there are some things you may not be ready to part with, yet still don’t have space for. Using a storage unit is a convenient way to store extra furniture, decor, clothes and more.
Take advantage of the walls
If used correctly, your walls can be used as valuable storage space. Hang shelves and cabinets and organize books, plants, knick-knacks, and more to your heart’s content!
Multipurpose living
When living in a small space, it’s important to get creative and use things that have more than one purpose. Ottomans can act as storage, a table, or seating. Your dresser can act as your nightstand. There are endless ways to use things in multiple ways and save space!
