Design tips for furnishing a small house

Furnishing a small house is certainly a challenge for every designer: in fact, there are several factors that must be taken into consideration to create the right environment. When you have little space it is necessary to optimize your home in such a way as not to overload the rooms and make them comfortable and functional at the same time.

 

Nowadays, in fact, the real estate market is permeated by requests that see small houses as protagonists. This happens essentially due to the changing society. In fact, among the most requested types of houses, there are three-room and two-room apartments, especially in large cities where costs are higher.

 

Having a small house could present some advantages such as simpler maintenance, as long as there is a rational organization of the spaces.

The importance of light

 

Natural light is one of the main allies when it comes to furnishing a small house, as it the light makes the environments seem more airy and spacious.

 

However, precisely to amplify this effect and make the environment less suffocating, it is It is important to choose neutral and light colors for both furnishings and fabrics. Choosing dark colors, in fact, means nullifying the positive effects of natural light.

 

We can personalize the environment with colorful furnishing accessories, precisely to avoid creating an environment that is too neutral or depersonalized.

 

Take advantage of the height

 

An ancient adage states: “height, half beauty!”. Perhaps this rule is more valid for interior designers, as it is precisely the height that allows us to conceive solutions that can be not only functional, but also aesthetically successful.

 

This aspect particularly concerns bookcases, which when characterized by large volumes can be cumbersome. Among the freestanding solutions, the DNA bookcase by Dainelli Studio for Cattelan Italia stands out. With its spiral movement, this bookcase not only takes advantage of the height, but with the overlapping of the books it becomes a real sculpture.

 

Focus on multifunctional furniture

 

Another piece of advice is certainly to focus on multifunctional furnishings, which not only help maintain order, but also increase the surfaces in which you can preserve and store your items. For the living area, storage poufs are ideal for reducing clutter. In the bedroom, however, the storage bed helps to have extra space for clothes and linen.

 

What if the bedroom isn't there? Then go ahead for the sofa beds which with a few simple gestures transform the living area into a comfortable one sleeping area.

 

Use mirrors, curtains and carpets to create depth

 

One of the most loved to create depth effects they are the mirrors. Using mirrored surfaces allows you to expand spaces. The design mirrors can be positioned in front of windows to reflect natural light or in strategic points to expand visually the space.

 

Use carpets with vertical designs to visually lengthen the space, and curtains that start from the ceiling to give the illusion of wider ceilings.

 

Choose quality furniture

 

It will seem trivial, but when you have a house it's simple. It is more fundamental than ever to choose quality furniture; focusing on clean design lines.

 

In this sense, it is always advisable to also choose solutions with rounded shapes. When moving inside small houses it is very important to space the various elements appropriately, to avoid accidents and make the environment not only comfortable but also safe.

 

Having to focus on a limited number of furnishings, invest in quality it also means safeguarding your wallet. Designer furniture, in fact, is not only characterized by that unique and sometimes visionary charm, but because it is they are made of innovative materials that make the difference in terms of performance over time.
