It’s hard to feel like a space is yours (or functional) if it’s filled with things you don’t need or love. So, you might want to think about instituting a “one-in, one-out” policy.
If you buy something new, you can donate or sell something old. This will keep clutter to a minimum and allow you to actually enjoy your space.
Additionally, you might want to adopt seasonal storage solutions. Keep only the current season’s clothes and items out and store the rest. It’ll make your life simpler, and your space feel less squished.
Color Is A Game-Changer
Believe it or not, the colors in your space can make a huge difference in how big (or small) it feels. Using lighter colors can reflect light and make the room feel airy and open. Conversely, darker colors can make your space feel tiny and cramped.
Also, don’t be afraid to play with mirrors. You can strategically place them to reflect light and space, creating the illusion of more room.
Embrace Being Minimal
Minimal doesn’t have to mean sterile or boring, and it can really be a blessing when working with tight quarters. So, think about what you love and what makes you comfortable, and find a way to incorporate that into your design.
Adding personality with accents like a quirky lamp, a colorful rug, or an interesting piece of art can add character without cluttering. Finally, choosing quality over quantity and investing in pieces that you really cherish (and that will last) can elevate your space.
