When installing a wall-mounted cabinet be sure to take into account your available space and your needs.
2. Use sliding door
If your home has limited space, consider sliding doors to open up the interior. Sliding doors add more space and airflow.
When shopping for a sliding door, take into consideration the space they will be used in, for example, hinged doors are the simplest and perfect for spaces that have less wall space while tilt and slide doors are more complicated but more versatile.
3. Keep the floor open
If you have a small space, it's important to keep the floor open to allow you to move around easily and allow air circulation so as to avoid air stuffiness.
Having fewer items in a room is encouraged, for example, you can have a small dining table that can also be used as an office table when needed.
4. Use mirrors to expand the space
Mirrors can be used when trying to expand small spaces to create an illusion of more space.
When mirrors reflect light back into the room they create a more spacious appearance and reflect light into dark corners.
You can use a large mirror on the large lonely wall or small mirrors to reflect light.
5. Paint all white
When painting all white, it is important to use a light color palette to help the room feel more spacious. You can also use white paint to create a clean and modern look.
6. Bookshelves
When it comes to bookshelves in small spaces, it's important to think about the layout of the space and what the books will be used for.
You can also create a bookshelf as a room divider in a space.
7. Prints and patterns
When decorating a small space, you have to be creative. One way to add some life and personality to a space is to use prints and patterns, which can be wallpapers or paintings nothing expensive.
A great way to use prints and patterns is to combine them with other elements in the room, such as furniture. For example, you can use a print as a background on a chair or a table, or you can use it as a focal point on a stand or shelf.
