It doesn't matter if your house is
big or small, you can always make it look good with expets of queenslander renovations by following the right advice. To decorate a small
house, you need to know how to create visual effects of amplitude to give the
impression that it is a bigger place than it really is. Here we tell you how to
achieve it!
Light
Coloured Paint
A common mistake in decorating
small spaces is to use dark colors on the walls. You should know that this, in
addition to subtracting lighting from your home, creates the illusion that your
space is smaller than it is. It is advisable to opt for light tones; these will
give the greatest visual effect of amplitude and also give more lighting to
your home.
Avoid
Prints
By adding prints to your
decoration, you will be providing visual weight, which will also make your
space look much smaller. It is better to avoid them and try to use plain colors
to give the illusion of breadth you want.
Use
thin and Clear Curtains
Lighting is also key when we try to
make a small space look bigger. Try not to cover the natural light that enters
your home with very thick or dark colored curtains. Use instead some white or
light colors that allow the passage of light, even if they are closed. This
will give the feeling of being in a wider and more open space.
Choose
Functional Furniture
If your new house is small, it is
implicit that you should get furniture that fits the space, but try to choose
them also according to their practicality. We recommend that you look for
furniture that has more than one function, such as a sofa bed, or a mattress
base with drawers. In this way you will save the space that would occupy two
different furniture with a single function.
Do not forget that light tones in
the decoration of small spaces is key. Like the walls, try to make your
furniture in the same tones. This will increase the illusion of amplitude.
Do not
top up Ornaments
Remember that what you are looking
for is to remove visual weight, not to contribute it. When we talk about
decorating small houses, less is more. Avoid filling your house with ornaments
and better opt for a simple decoration. If there are free spaces it will give
the illusion that the place is bigger. In addition, the less items you have,
the easier and faster it will be when cleaning.
Organize
and Embed Objects on the Walls
Use the walls, do not forget that
these are also spaces that can be used. You can put shelves to store things
that take away your space and thus make it look tidier and at the same time be
part of the decoration. You could also choose to hang the television on a wall
to save you the space of a piece of furniture that supports it.
Although the walls will be very
useful, try not to abuse their use. If you are going to use shelves avoid
placing them on all the walls, it is better that you place them in the same
part to continue having free spaces that make your house look bigger, and that
you put them in a straight line so that it looks tidy and also contributes An
amplitude effect.
Decorate
with Mirrors
Mirrors are a very helpful tool in
decorating small houses, because in addition to their function as an object and
as a decorative element, they give the illusion that the space is larger by
reflecting some part of it and also increases lighting of the place if you
place them on a wall that reflects light.
Use
Decorative Boxes
A usual problem when you have a
small house is the lack of space to store all your stuff. However, there are
also boxes or baskets that can decorate your space and at the same time are
useful for storing your belongings. Make use of them, take advantage of the
space to store things and at the same time decorate your home.
Do not forget that, as in every
house, order is the main thing. If you keep everything in its place, your
decoration will look more and more the feeling of visual amplitude will be
created. Now you can start decorating your little home!
