How to Make a Small Space Feel Large



You found a great apartment to rent, but it feels a bit small with all your furniture. There is no need to worry; in this blog, you will find tips on making a small space feel large.

Multi-Purpose Furniture

With a small space, you have to get a bit creative. One way to do that is to use furnishing with a dual purpose. Find a kitchen table that doubles as a desk. If you're short on bedrooms, get a pull-out couch that will provide you space for your guests to stay.


Quality over Quantity

Having a small space requires you to be selective with the furnishings you choose. Here are some ideas of items you may want to splurge on and where you pass:


The Couch

The living room should be inviting and cozy, so if you decide to go with a full-size couch and coffee table, you may need to omit the side tables. 


Your couch should be the focal point, and if you need your living room to double as a guest room, think about getting a daybed or a sleeper sofa


The Dining Table

No one wants to serve guests on a TV tray. You can use it for multiple purposes, which makes it a must-have. When you are not using it to eat, it can turn into a desk for work, game night with friends, or a place to entertain.


Go Vertical

With any small space, walls are your best friend. Get creative and check for storage options like shelves, hooks, or caged racks. 


These are inexpensive ways to utilize your space without taking up precious real estate fully. 


Lighting is Key

One of the easiest ways to make your small space feel large is to maximize natural light. However, if you only have a few windows, hang a large mirror opposite the window to bounce light around your space.

There are major benefits of a small space.  Cheaper rent is high on the list, but it's less floor space to clean, and it forces you to be intentional with the pieces you use to furnish it.

Having a small space will also allow it to feel more like you and ultimately providing that warm, inviting feel.  With a bit of creativity, you can make your small living space functional and all yours.
