Many people think that smaller houses and rooms mean that you have to sacrifice on style in order to have a functional space, but this isn’t necessarily true. At Steven James<\/a> we can work around most spaces, and create a bespoke design masterpiece to make your house, a home that you can enjoy being in, and enjoy presenting to other people. So, here’s 7 ways that you can make the most of small spaces in your home…<\/p>\n

1) Create zones<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have fun with your space, while keeping it orderly and tidy. It\u2019s easy to have things strewn everywhere, but creating zones can be a great way to maximise the space you’ve got.<\/p>\n

Create an office space with a small laptop table like in this picture, and use a sofa bed to make the room a makeshift bedroom for those unplanned guests.<\/p>\n

2) Invest in furniture that can change<\/h6>\n

Multi-use furniture was created with high rise, small studio apartments in mind. Nowadays they’re used in most houses that want to create an open space, that’s both decorative and useful. A foldaway dining table with wall mounted chairs can save a whole room worth of space in a kitchen. This is a brilliant solution if there’s only two of you living at home, but you often have visitors.<\/p>\n

3) Use light<\/h6>\n

Light is a great way to make small places look bigger, natural light is great to reflect from surfaces like mirrors as it makes places look lighter and more airy. No-one likes a dark and dingy space, light adds depth and a feel of cleanliness.<\/p>\n

4) Speaking of mirrors – have plenty<\/h6>\n

Mirrors, like light, create the illusion of more space. It reflects whatever room you’re in, creating almost a 5th dimension to the room.<\/p>\n

5) Keep clutter away<\/h6>\n

It’s especially important within a small space to keep clutter free. A kitchen is the easiest place to keep clutter free, as brands like IKEA<\/a>, Lakeland<\/a>, and M&S<\/a>, have created umpteen products and gadgets to save you space, without sacrificing on style. Think stacking mugs, wall mounted pots and pans, and more! The sky’s the limit.<\/p>\n

6) more plants than the botanical gardens<\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plants are a brilliant decorative tool, as they don’t take up much space, but can add a lot of dynamic colour to your room. Window boxes are a fantastic way to spruce up the outside of your house too, especially if space inside is really tightly limited.<\/p>\n

7) Keep accessories to a minimum<\/h6>\n

As easy as it can be to over buy, remember that if there’s two people living in your home, you need a maximum of 4 plates, 4 bowls, 4 mugs etc. Overbuying leads to clutter and dust gathering on things you’ll never use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
