Overload of furniture
Arranging too many furniture can make the space cramped and stuffy. You should prioritize multi-functional furniture, serving many purposes such as sofas with storage compartments or folded furniture to optimize area.
Ignoring vertical space
Vertical space is often neglected, leading to waste of storage space and creating a messy feeling. Arranging high shelves and wall-mounted cabinets will help increase storage space, while keeping the room neater and more airy.
Dark coordination
Dark colors easily make small spaces more cramped and heavy. Therefore, you should prioritize bright and neutral colors such as ivory white, beige, cream or pastel tones to create a feeling of ventilation and openness. If you like bright colors, you can use this color as a highlight through decorations or small furniture items to keep the space harmonious.
Ignoring natural light
Light is an important factor in making small spaces look larger. Avoid using thick curtains or dark-colored curtains that obstruct natural light. Instead, choose thin curtains or curtains that allow sunlight to pass through, making the room brighter immediately.
Ignoring personal aesthetic taste
Even if the space is small, expressing personality through decoration is still very important. Instead of chasing trends, you should choose and combine details and items reflecting your own style to create a harmonious living space with personal imprints.
