Try Folding Furniture
If you are restricted on wall space but still want to make your interior design efforts the best that they can be then incorporating folding furniture into the room is the next best thing. With office desks and beds all available that fold up against the wall, you are able to make your room fit for purpose whilst not taking up floor space.
Make The Most Of The Wall Space
In addition to folding furniture, there is the option for storage and decoration on the walls. This not only helps to free up all space, but strategically placed framed photo prints can make the room look larger and draw the eye to a different part of the wall. This is a simple, yet highly affective way of designing the room without the size of the room limiting your creativity. Shelving units are also a great way to make storage space for trinkets and other elements without having to worry about taking up to much wall space.
Mirrors Can Make The Room Look Bigger
Making the room look larger is one of the many benefits that mirrors can bring into your home. So why not incorporate them? Whether it is on top of a fireplace or hanging on the wall, this can help to bounce light around the room and make it look better as a result. In addition to this, the use of cluster mirrors can also make the room stand out and hep to make use of the negative space in the room. This will make it feel more welcoming and freer up floor space as a result.
Be Clever With Your Storage
Storage is another aspect of interior design that can be difficult to facilitated when you have restricted floor space. However, it is not impossible. By being clever with your storage and using shelving as well as draws under your bed to limit the amount of space being used, you can store all your items whilst still having space to move. In addition to this, tall shelves on the wall can help to make the room stand out and appear much taller than it is. This can help to make the room look larger as it creates the illusion of taller ceilings.
Natural Lighting Is Your New Best Friend
Natural lighting is one of the easiest ways to make your room look larger as a dark room often feels smaller and more cramp. As a result, it is important to ensure that the colour theme of the room is as light as possible as this will help to bounce the natural light around the room to make it feel larger. This is a huge benefit for you as this can make the room look more appealing and more welcoming to those that are visiting from the outside all whilst generating a coherent theme with the outside of the house.
Paint The Walls White
Another way to brighten a room is to paint the walls white. This will help you to make the most of the space you have by maximising the small amount of natural light that you have. In addition, the blank canvas allows you to completely change the colour theme of the room without having to repeatedly repaint the walls. This is great for those on a tight budget as you can do anything that you want with the room. This is also a great idea for when it comes to selling the home as this is a complete blank canvas for them to design.
Make Each Room Multipurpose
The final way that you can make the most out of the room you have is to make it multi-purpose. If you don’t have enough room for a separate office space, use a corner of the dining room to house your computer and work from there. The same is to be said for the dining room, you can combine a kitchen diner to make the most out of the space and still provide you with somewhere to sit as a family without taking up too much space in other areas of the home or flat.
Regardless of the space that you have, there are a number of ways that you can optimise and still make the most out of your interior design efforts whilst generating a coherent theme. Which of these design efforts will you be trying in your space?
