Small spaces – a beautiful challenge when arranging a home

We all know that small spaces are a challenge when it comes to arranging a home as practical and useful as possible. One thing that is very real is that most apartments for sale have a fairly small square footage, being the most common in urban areas.
However, any space inhabited by a person must represent that person and make the person feel great when he/she returns home after tiring and busy days.

That's why we thought of gathering some useful tips and ideas and presenting them to you.
Although the small area of an apartment can be seen as a major disadvantage, over time it has been shown that great things can be done in such a home. The essential thing that must be taken into account is the complete renunciation of the arrangement and equipment according to the same rules with which large spaces are arranged.

Pay attention to the needs related to the your lifestyle!

Another very important aspect in arranging a home with a small area, is the needs and lifestyle of those who are going to inhabit it. Therefore, if a family is constantly cooking, the kitchen should be separate and closed, even through a glass wall.

It is very important that the kitchen is equipped with all appliances, but also with many storage spaces. If people cook in a house very rarely or not at all, the kitchen can be delimited from the living room only using a visual aspect that can be determined by different colors or by a piece of furniture.

Choose light color for the walls!

This is another piece of advice that we thought was useful in arranging a small space. The use of light colors, especially white or another color from the range of pastel shades, will give the feeling of a brighter and larger space.

Choose modern but simple furniture!

An important thing in arranging a home is the choice of furniture. Furniture pieces play an important role in the look of a home. So, for a pleasant and practical look, it is preferable to use pieces that can fulfill two roles.

A good example is a bed that also has a storage box or even a sofa bed. This will make the space very efficient and will have a pleasant look especially during the day.

Folding pieces of furniture can be another good option to make a room as spacious and useful as possible. It is also recommended that the cabinets be very well compartmentalized and have a height greater than the width.
Mirrors give the illusion of a large space. 

An important trick in arranging a small space is the illusion that can be created with the help of mirrors. They reflect light and deepen spaces.

Therefore, strategically applied mirrors are a good option to render light in a small space such as a hallway that has no windows or other natural light sources.

Thus, a mirror applied in the access hall creates the impression of large space and it is preferable to be positioned on the wall that is most visible after entering the home.

The option with mirrors can be applied in any room. Besides the wider visual space, they also give elegance to the area in which they are placed. A very interesting trick would be to place a lamp or another source of artificial light near the mirror, which will help spread the light throughout the room.

In conclusion, we can say that these are only some of the important aspects in arranging a small space, but which can become very practical.
If you are looking for an apartment for sale in Sibiu and you do not have a very large budget, do not be afraid to buy an apartment with a smaller usable area. With a little ingenuity and a touch of imagination, it can become the perfect home for any family.

And, above all: fill a house with love and it will become a home!
