Space-saving wonders: Interior design tips for small rooms

The right furniture can create a sense of spaciousness: For small rooms, choose fewer but larger pieces to create focal points. Functional furnishings with ample storage space can transform a room into a true space-saving marvel. When choosing colors, opt for light shades. This makes rooms appear larger. Sufficient light sources and light-colored fabrics also contribute to this effect. For the flooring, choose a uniform color that is one shade darker than the walls.

Functional furniture for room concepts:
Furniture with dual functions is practical: A living room table with storage or a bookcase with an integrated desk saves space elsewhere. This also allows for the implementation of room concepts: The bedroom serves as a workspace, the kitchen becomes a combined living and dining area. And if you don't want to see the washing up from the sofa, you can visually separate areas using tasteful room dividers. If guests are expected, folding chairs and tables provide additional seating.

Utilizing storage space in your apartment:
Don't know where to put your belongings? Take a close look at your apartment to discover unused corners. Perhaps shelves or wall cabinets could be installed in some nooks and crannies. A sofa or bed equipped with drawers provides additional storage space. Another option: Hang a curtain in the right place, and all sorts of things can disappear behind it. Built-in wardrobes offer another way to create space for your belongings. If they are optimally fitted, they provide even more storage space.

Tricks for Visually Enlarging Rooms:
Experts also rely on several tricks to make rooms appear larger. For example, furniture with legs that leave the floor visible. Additionally, mirrors opposite windows or narrow mirrors spanning the length of the bathtub create a sense of spaciousness. Furthermore, replace doors with glass doors or remove them entirely if they are not in use. This will – at least visually – make your home appear larger.
