Today there are many people living in small flatsEither because there is no more budget or because of a question of functionality, the truth is that decorating and taking advantage of small spaces has become an art. So let's see some tips for decorating small floors.
When a floor is small we have to make the most of the square meters but at the same time we must create a space that is cozy and functional. It is a difficult task but it can be achieved if we think carefully about how to decorate from the beginning.
Eliminate some divisions
If you can, because the budget rises, removes some wall divisions they are not charging to open spaces. This way you can have bigger rooms and the floor will seem much more spacious. You can even create a loft-style floor, which takes a lot. We know that it is an alternative that not everyone can afford, but it is a good option if we start from scratch.
Use the color white
If there is a trick that will do that our rooms seem more spacious and bright is to use the color white. If white bores us, we always have the possibility of using pastel colors, but we must avoid shades that are dark or strong. These types of tones take away light and make rooms appear much smaller. In this sense, we are not only referring to painting the walls white, but also the furniture, since if you have antique furniture the wood will be dark and will produce the same effect. Nowadays, open spaces are taken, with white tones, light wood and pastel touches. If you follow this pattern when decorating, you will make everything seem much more spacious and spacious.
Less is more
In small flats we have to limit the amount of things we have. It is clear that the storage capacity is not the same as in a place with many closets, shelves or rooms for storage, so we must think about what we need. The furniture should be what is needed. That is, in the living room a sofa, a small side table and a television cabinet or a shelf. The dining room will have tables and chairs and in the bedrooms we will use built-in wardrobes if possible since they make better use of the space. In these types of floors we have almost no spaces for consoles or dressers.
Use sliding doors
This trick helps us spaces are more functional no longer have to leave that gap for the door swing. Sliding doors are ideal for any small space, be it the bathroom, living room or kitchen. These types of doors can go inside the wall or to the side. Either way, they help us save a lot of space.
Custom or modular furniture
This type of furniture that is created according to needs is a great investment for small spaces. If we use furniture that does not have the exact measurements we may have dead spaces with which we cannot do anything. But modular furniture allows us to adapt to the meters we have. They are created while we add shelves. This is the cheapest version, but we can also buy a custom furniture. In this case, the budget usually increases, since they do it to the extent that we need.
Get natural light
If you can, open windows or make them bigger. Natural light along with white will make your floor appear much larger. It is a simple trick, since natural light also brings us well-being. Avoid heavy curtains and use ones that are light and let in light. It is a fundamental part of getting a house that seems spacious and that is more pleasant.
Mix stays
Today we see how it is created in a same room a whole that includes living room, dining room and kitchen. It is a great idea because we have everything at hand and we do not need more square meters. If you can create everything in the same space, you will have a good distribution that is everything when it comes to having a functional home. Avoid hallways, which only take up space. In this large room you can create simple divisions with a rug in the dining area and with an island that connects the kitchen with the living room but clearly delimits its space.
Use the mirrors
This is a simple trick that can help to see spaces as wider. If we add a mirror in front of the windows it helps us to reflect the light. At the same time it gives us the feeling that the room is deeper, although it is only a visual trick.
