Big ideas for your tiny space: Here are some useful renovation tips
Fixing up houses, big or small, is an exciting experience. But if you have space limitations, you should not be undaunted: even small areas are fun to spruce up! With creativity and the proper furniture, you can turn any drab old space into a spacious abode.
Here’s how to give your small space a new look:
1. Organize first with modular cabinets
If you live in a small space, it can be difficult to install full out cabinets or wardrobes since they take up a lot of space that you should be trying to save. Incorporate style and function with modular cabinets. Keep clutter out of sight and let even small hallways give you space.
If you want a similar look, tap Deline, a world class German manufacturer of modular cabinets for both your kitchen and your bedroom. Chandra Interiors and Deline have recently partnered and can help you set up your dream alley.
2. Decorate and find spots that will give you illusion of space
Who said having a small space means you should keep decorations to a minimum? Go get that huge mirror to add to the illusion of space.
The mirror makes the room look bigger.
The bigger mirror, the better!
You can also try huge paintings or a gigantic wall art to help improve the overall look of the room.
While you can do this all yourself, there are a lot of aesthetic risks that come with DIY-ing things like this so it’s always best to get a professional. Chandra Interiors specializes in doing just that.
3. Maximize your vertical space
If you have a small floor area, why don’t you convert vertical space into a useful place? Lofts are all the rage nowadays--if your unit has a relatively high ceiling, you can turn that space into anything from a bedroom, to a lounge room, to a hobby area.
You can also find or customize tall cabinets for storage while helping improve your apartment’s aesthetics. Having things that are tall instead of wide will save you tremendous amounts of space and will utilize the vertical space that you may be overlooking.
When contacting Chandra Interiors for this, let them know you’re in need of their civil construction service. You can discuss with them how exactly you want it to look, what the space will be used for, and the best ways to execute this project and they’ll take care of every single detail.
4. Pick the right furniture
When it comes to tiny spaces, the best course of action is to be creative with choosing the types of furniture you’ll be purchasing. While you can’t get a 7-seater dining table when you lack space, you can definitely choose to have a big sofa. Sometimes, choosing bulky furniture (as long as you don’t overdo it) will give an illusion of space. Go big yet minimalist at the same time. Here’s an inspiration:
Or go dual purpose: use the cabinet as a console. How’s that for space-saving?
5. Detailed decorations
As long as you keep your theme intact, decorating a small space won’t be so hard. You want it looking scandinavian? Modern minimalist? Boho chic? Interior design experts at Chandra can help you pick out small decors that would amplify your abode’s theme. You would be surprised at how a small succulent, or throw pillows with nice designs can make your apartment look neat and sleek.
Steal the look!
6. Let the light in
A well-lit abode makes the space look bigger. Take advantage of natural light with huge windows and sheer white curtains.
If the sun is not on your side, or you have a home that lacks windows, you can get help from Chandra Interiors. Installing lighting fixtures is something that has to be done by professionals because electricals must never be taken lightly and doing it yourself can end up doing much, much more harm than good. You check out Chandra Lamp Shades for lighting fixtures to brighten up any dull space.
7. Details and decors
Find tiny decorative pieces that are also useful. Go get that colorful throw pillow, add succulents in a corner, or add house plants to liven up the space.
Try putting this in a nook
Or, add lots of greens!
Don’t let your small space limit your creativity and the way you want to design your home. You just have to think bigger and, sometimes out of the box. It never hurts to ask for help if you need some guidance with figuring out how to go about. Home renovations can be tough but with the right tools and partner, you’ll have a space you’d love to go home to.
