10 Home Design Skills Expand Small Apartment

Every inch of the small-sized house should give full play to its maximum value. How to make the small house live bigger and bigger should be planned in the decoration design. Today, we sort out the reference points for small-sized house design.

1. Open space

The biggest problem of small apartment is that the space is cramped. If you do a few more partitions, the home will be dark. It is suggested that you choose open design as much as possible, and some public spaces can be merged, such as living room, kitchen, dining room and balcony.

2. The cabinet replaces the wall

Replacing the wall with the cabinet not only saves the space of a wall, but also can be used for porch, sofa back wall, book wall and bedroom outside wall.

3. Glass partition

Glass partition is also a popular design method recently, which can not only play the role of partition, but also retain the introduction of light to the greatest extent, and can be used in porch, balcony, even kitchen and bathroom.

4. Bar instead of table

Generally, in a small-sized house, there are almost 1-3 people in the family, and a bar can meet the dining needs at home. In the case of insufficient dining room space, it is a good choice to design a bar from the kitchen.

5. Kitchen appliances are embedded in cabinets

The kitchen is probably the place with the most sundries, and there are many things with effective space, especially large electrical appliances, such as rice cookers, ovens, microwave ovens, etc. If you reserve space when customizing cabinets and embed electrical appliances, the kitchen will be much more tidy.

6. Light color matching

Like wearing clothes, black is thin, white is fat, small apartment should be expanded, and light colors should be used, with wood or color embellishment, which will make the home more warm and lively.

7. The use of color

It's not that we should use light colors. Adding dark and bright colors can make the space more layered. Paint a whole color on the opposite wall after entering the room to create the effect of depth of field. If you paint half of the wall, remember to make the space deeper and shallower.

8. Sliding doors/folding doors

Sliding door does not need to occupy the space outside the door when opening, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of space and has an absolute advantage in the relatively narrow bedroom.

9. Merging balconies

This refers to the inner balcony. The wall between the balcony and the living room (bedroom) is removed to increase the indoor area, which not only makes the living room more functional, but also makes it more visually open.

10. Tatami

Designing tatami in the study room can not only provide a strong demand for collecting books, but also meet the needs of study, work and temporary rooms.

You can design a low cabinet under the tatami, or add partitions in the bookcase, which is convenient for storing books and sundries, and can also make the study look cleaner.
