Needing a way to open up a small home or apartment? Here are some small pointers that will not only allow you open up your space but will also bring more comfort and relaxation to your life.
1. Add nesting tables. The trick with small homes is finding ways to add furniture pieces that do double duty, or that can be moved out of the way and hidden quickly and easily. Three-in-one nesting side tables are a great option.
2. Use lighter paint colors. Again, light is your best friend, and incorporating light-hued colors will open your house up and reflect light better.
3. Include reflection. Sliding mirror doors and reflective paint help toss light around and make rooms feel more expansive.
4. Have a king-size bed. It might sound counterintuitive, but large, relaxing pieces — like a big bed, sofa or bathtub — can make you feel like you have more space. Try splurging on the pieces that help you relax the most.
And if all else fails...
5. Go outside. Take advantage of public parks, walking trails, libraries, coffee shops and other community spaces, and you won’t feel so boxed in.
