There are people who own large houses, but its contents are so haphazardly placed that the space looks all cluttered and small. On the other hand, there are couples who live in tiny apartments, but everything including the insignificant knick-knacks is so orderly kept that one can live quite decently here. As such, don’t worry if you live or have to live in a small home or apartment. Just choose the décor for your small home intelligently and half your problem will be solved.

Take help of a professional interior designer or a home interior decoration book. This will help you plan out what furnishings will properly fit into your small apartment without taking too much space. Opt for multi-purpose furniture. For instance, a bed that can fold up into a sofa set in the morning time. You could also do with a multi-shelved bookcase, one of whose horizontal doors can be opened flat to be used as a study table.

Color co-ordination in small home is as or perhaps more important than in bigger homes. Try to choose light colors for the walls, floor, ceiling and even furniture as they provide a very roomy feel. And avoid using dark colors as much as possible because they seem to constrict space. When selecting décor furnishing for small home or apartments, try sticking to the least fussy and compact looking items. Try making optimum use of odd shaped corners in the house by putting lampshades or bookcase there.

When living in small homes or space, try keeping the house as clean and organized as possible. This measure is most crucial because otherwise all your efforts to innovately decorate your hearth will go in vain. This is the responsibility of each and every family member occupying that house to keep it tiny and not just of one person. Start with your children as they tend to scatter things the most. And make the most of the available space.
