SMALL HOUSES AND APARTMENTS
With the
appropriate use of colors, you can make a small room appear larger and more
spacious. Whites, greys, greens, lilacs or blue create a feeling of space,
while red, pink, orange, terracotta, brown or rich cream create intimacy. Cream
and beige create a restful atmosphere and are good for smaller houses.
It is better
to paint the walls in natural soft shade. The color in the room can be provided
by dressing up the floor and decorating the walls with artefacts and paintings.
Dark wood and
ornately crafted furniture tends to make a small room claustrophobic.
Similarly, too bright and bold-patterned upholstery should be avoided in small
homes. Pine colored wooden or tubular steel furniture in simple lines creates
the effect of space. For small homes, it is ideal to team it with small
pattered fabric or plain smooth leather.
One can also
add color to interiors by placing the right artefacts. Crystal wares, photo frames,
silverware, books, paintings and family heirlooms also add color and personal
touch that makes a house a home.
Storage areas
must be planned judiciously in small homes to avoid clutter. You can give your
room a spacious look with correct balance of storage cupboards, dividers, light
furniture, color and lighting. Go easy on knick-knacks, collectibles, and
picture frames, etc. Use closed storage like built-in-closets, cabinets and
drawers because open storage spaces create visual chaos.
