Making Your Small Home Feel Bigger
Being a first-time homeowner, there is an increased likelihood that the house space you purchased is less than you prefer. That is all we want; somewhere big to expand, but sometimes there isn’t enough of it! Fortunately, several low-cost and easy-to-do small house renovation ideas can help you expand your limited space without the need for an extension according to remodeling service specialists. These are:
Adding Mirrors
It is not just about big mirrors such as floor-length ones. The use of mirrors in the interior design enhances a space by making it seem larger when it reflects the natural light and bounces around the surroundings. This is why they create a feeling of abundance as they resemble the surrounding environment. If you have a very small home, hanging a large mirror in your entryway and lounge room will bounce the natural light around and make the space seem bigger.
Use Foldable Furnishings
Over the past few decades, folding furniture such as Murphy beds and folding desks has gone through a sea of changes. These include the fact that they enable the occupant to have all the furniture he/she may desire, yet have an option of hiding the furniture when it is not being used. If you have a Murphy bed, it’s an excellent option for a studio apartment. These tend to be double-sided and, when laid flat, have the appearance of a cabinet or ornament. Another great small house renovation idea is fold fold-away wall desk. Secretaries’ desks are now finding their way back, thanks to the increase in the home office culture.
Opt for Glass Sliding Doors
Let in the natural scenery with glass sliding doors. The naturally light doors have the ability not only to bring the light in but also to make the room feel bigger. Once your walls are down, and your space is exposed, if you have an outside entertainment area, your space will feel twice as big. Sliding doors do not require an open space on the floor to swing open.
