Unique Interior Design Ideas for Compact Homes
Published on: 12 Sep 2024
Craving space? Wondering if a bigger home would look more appealing? If yes, we’re here to change your mind about how even compact homes can give you cozy vibes if they’re decorated right. And you know what they say, smaller rooms always leave more room for conversation! There is undeniable warmth & comfort in a studio or a smaller apartment. So, keeping this in mind, we bring to you amazing tips that will make your home the envy of homeowners. Read on.
For your living room:
1. Colour Me Nothing
If you haven’t already considered this hack, you should. Consider painting your space more white. This will make the space appear bigger, and with more sunlight, every corner of your home will look brighter and more inviting. Besides, wall textures, wooden furniture and paintings are brought out better against a white background. Opt for another colour with white and stick to a single colour theme.
2. Wall-mounted or Hanging Lights
Is bad lighting becoming a deal breaker for your guests? Why not get creative with the ceiling, then? Pack away your desk & table lamps and give hanging lights a go. Concealed fixtures, especially at the corners, will light up parts of your home that are otherwise hidden away from the eye. Hanging lights like long pendants also look classy and emphasize the height of a room.
3. Nesting Tables
Another space-saving wonders are tables that occupy minimal space but give you maximum utility. Since nesting tables always come in a set of 2 or 3, you can use them individually or as a centre coffee table for your drawing room.
For your Kitchen:
1. Vertical Wall Space
When space is scarce, vertical wall space is a smart way to accommodate more things. When you add cabinetry, it creates more space in the kitchen and also creates the illusion of a high ceiling. Useful tip – use a subtle combination of light & dark colours to open up the space.
2. Extra Countertop Space
Want extra countertop space to chop all your veggies? How about adding a counter near the windowsill or a moveable kitchen top? Adding a touch of class to your longish aisle-like space, the extra counter will also perfectly act as a top to keep your vessels.
For your Work from home desk:
Working from home can be mundane unless you add creativity to it. Implementing these ideas will help your productivity.
1. Minimalism
A minimalist interior can be full of character. Opt for minimal furniture, but you can choose bold colours to accentuate the space. If you’re having difficulty fitting in a big desk, try to include an inspiration board for your wall. This will save you a lot of space while including most of your work-related materials.
2. Wall mounted Desk
Why be discouraged if you lack the space for a home office? You can still be creative and install a foldable desk that can completely fit into a wall or be used as another piece of furniture. Always remember, neatly stacked saves space!
For your Balcony:
1. Contrasts
If you have the option, choose a warm wood ceiling & natural stone flooring for your balcony. The patterns on the floor will create a carpet-like effect bringing in the illusion of a bigger balcony. Add a high table to make your own perfect little bar to complete the effect. That’s it! Sit back and enjoy the view.
2. A Garden
No worries if there isn’t enough space for a full-fledged garden. You can always install a green wall or a vertical garden and enjoy the greenery. The only thing to remember is to ensure your plants receive enough sunlight and are well-maintained.
