Apartments with few square meters are more common every day. Although undoubtedly, lots of people dream of having a condo near Kasetsart (คอนโด เกษตร, which is the term in Thai), small spaces also have their charm and advantages. However, to live well in a small place, it is necessary to optimize the spaces following these rules proposed below:
- Do Not Saturate The Home
When space is limited, it is best to use ‘less is more’. For this reason, accessories should be reduced as much as possible, and thus, optimize the space.
You must ensure that you must have the necessary things and not overload the place, because although you may be afraid that the space looks empty, the feeling it will generate is that it is spacious.
- Have Multifunctional Furniture
For small houses, it is recommended that the furniture be folding or multifunctional. Having folding beds, sofa beds or furniture that fulfil one or more functions and also have interior storage capacity are the most suitable models.
Likewise, it is recommended that the divisions between environments be thin, take advantage of the floor-to-ceiling spaces, for example for a library, and have the bed on another level, such as at heights.
- Have The TV Hanging
It is not necessary to have a giant piece of furniture for the television, the best thing is that if you have an entertainment center it is suitable for the space you have, that it can fulfill other functions or put the television on the wall.
- Have Extra Places To Store
Removable columns in which secret furniture is embedded to store things, take advantage of the bottom of the stairs and even convert the steps of the stairs into drawers are a good option.
It is convenient to take advantage of wasted gaps, such as the baseboards of low cabinets and in the case of having a ladder between walls. Some steps with removable fronts will offer a large storage capacity.
