Making a small home look bigger

Few of us can afford the luxury of living in a large, expansive house. Most of us don't have the budget to buy, maintain and furnish a country house, mansion or manor house.

However, whether you live in a small bungalow, terraced house, apartment or compact town house, you can certainly make the most of your humble home, and at very little cost.

These tips will show you how to make the most of what you've got and will hopefully help to transform your home into a beautiful space of which you can be proud.

Choose a neutral coloured scheme you will of course know that most home makeover programmes advise viewers to decorate their homes in neutral colours. Not only does it make the property look clean and well cared for, but will also help to give it the impression of being a larger, lighter space, which is always great when you come to sell. White is preferable as it is brighter, but cream can also look beautiful.

Have an assortment of mirrors mirrors work well in both narrow rooms and corridors. They work by reflecting the image shown of the room, making it appear twice as large. Most sizes and shapes work well, but steer clear of large, obtrusive frames, particularly if they are dark or wooden.

Chandeliers as well as being beautifully feminine, the glass drops in a chandelier catch the light superbly and reflect it in all directions across the room.

The minimalist look to make the most of your space, avoid filling it with clutter. Choose one or two light coloured vases, planters or other accessories and display them in prominent positions which will catch the eye of anyone walking into a room. By being able to focus on these objects, the size of the room no longer becomes obvious.

Space saving ideas if storage space is an issue, look at the storage solutions which are now available, or consider renting a lock up which will keep your belongings safe and in your possession.

By ensuring that your home remains free of clutter and feels light and airy, you too will feel calm, organised and content. The smallest home can be made to look its best with just a few small touches and a minimal budget. The minimalist look is one which can be achieved very easily, which is why it is so popular.
