How to make a small house feel bigger?
Comments (22)I just want to add that this is a great thread full of lots of practical advice. My home is small, 1200 sq ft with the same # of rooms as yours. The room that feel the smallest (IE the Living ROOM) has too much furniture in it, the seating is overstuffed/oversized for the room, and it has clutter hanging around. My boys share a small bedroom (I think it's almost 10x10). We didn't get a bunk bed because they are crazy monkeys, they have matching twin captain's beds that take up almost the entire room. Furniture that has multiple functions (bed/storage) is so practical for a small house. When we moved in ~12 years ago, I didn't fully realize that most new furniture was scaled for the LARGE homes currently popular, hence how I ended up with living room furniture that is inappropriate for the size of the room. I don't have any unique advice to add except that, for me, it takes a lot of self-discipline not to let the day-to-day stuff pile up. And still sometimes it does and i just keep putting it into a big box until I can deal with it. I have made several pocket organizers that hang on the wall and I think they have helped a lot in terms of adding storage/organization without taking up space....See MoreMoved out for the 1st time ... when does home start feeling like home?
Comments (7)What you are feeling is perfectly normal for your first home away from home, especially if it's with a significant other. Moving out on your own without moving in with a significant other gives you the space and privacy of getting used to such a change. Once everything is in place and you establish a routine, you'll start to have your favorite cozy spots in the house, you will start to create memories there, and it will start to feel like home. But no place feels like home quite like the one you grew up in, and that is perfectly normal as well. Everyone goes through this part of life. Good luck!...See Morehellppp! i want my house to feel like home but i hate the colours
Comments (6)I'm assuming this is the current renters' living room furniture. The style of the house isn't country, and neither is a black leather sofa or a Kallax unit. So let's work with what you have that will have a warm, comfy feeling that isn't necessarily country. Do you have budget for some chairs, a coffee table, curtains, shelves and art work? Here's a direction: --Add a comfy chair or two with black legs in grays and a little tan--not necessarily this chair. (Later on you can get a nice gray sofa that will go with the chair.) --Add pillows to your sofa. Curtains: Large art work for the big wall: Long white low shelves for storing toys and for a TV if that's where you'll be watching. A couple of these for more storage. All of these pieces relate to each other and will go with new furniture down the road. Good luck!...See MoreHow can I️ make this room feel like the TV isn’t so far away?
Comments (16)3sq is a closet. The other door is the apartment entrance and then there’s a door to the bedrooms on the chair side of the dining room area and a opening into the kitchen on the bench side of the dining room. I’ll probably try it out and see but my main concern with the new layout option is that it’ll make the room feel smaller....See MoreSabrina Alfin Interiors
