Small homes can still follow the home design trends this 2016 without having to compromise space and function. With smart layouts and storage pieces plus a little creativity, you can maximize your space and make your home stylish.
Elle Décor reports that most homes are downsizing, and right now small homes are becoming a national phenomenon. Lifestyle changes have been associated with low-impact living and practical homes, thus the increase in smaller homes in the past months.
Small space living has become the primary and practical option for most city dwellers and suburban dwellers too. However, even with small spaces, trends in home design and décor can still be adapted indoors to make your place look great.
Counter space can still be increased by going vertical and having mesh wall hangers as storage pieces for your daily necessities. You can have a preparation center in your counters with stackable storage readily available onsite. Lack of outdoor space can also be addressed by hanging a few herbs and spices in your kitchen area. An herb planter neatly installed above your lavatory would look lovely.
Pop Sugar, on the other hand, notes the importance of proper lighting to make the home look bigger and spacious. Placing a mirror behind a lamp is also one of the advisable design tricks you can do to make a space or area appear bigger. The light on the lamp will bounce off the mirror, creating a brighter effect in your rooms. Dressing up plain doors with an interesting color, preferably a bright one, can make the look of your small abode even bigger.
Taking advantage of the space on your walls and going vertical when it comes to storage are just some of the ideas that will help you maximize the space inside your homes. Bright wall paint can also make a lot of difference to your living space.
