Besides the soaring price of real estate, many people love living in small houses since they want to keep things simple and cosy. Such houses are easier to maintain and can be perfect for relaxation especially when inhabited by young couples or nuclear families. But making small homes functional and aesthetically pleasing is often a challenge. A bit of creativity and innovative solutions are required to achieve this. So today, we bring you 10 superb ideas to make your small home a stunner in every way!

1. Transform your attic

Turn your unused or under-utilised attic into a stylish living room with light-hued walls and warm wooden accents. In this room for instance, the burgundy armchairs and the vibrant painting add pizzazz, while the asymmetrical shelving unit looks classy. And if your attic opens up to a bright and airy terrace, then there’s nothing like it!

2. Brighten your entryway

Make sure that your entryway receives natural light by installing a glass door or glass and wooden door as shown here. Light hues like white or pastels will also help. The stained glass above the door adds visual appeal, while playful hooks and a sleek shelf help in organising coats and hats.

3. Mirror power

Mirrors can make the smallest of spaces look roomy and bright. Check out these wall-mounted wooden shelves with mirrored backdrops which not only lend spaciousness to the foyer, but also help in showcasing artefacts. Credit for this idea goes to the interior architects at Urbana 15.

4. Simple yet stylish bedroom

Light and soothing shades make this bedroom truly relaxing and perfect for undisturbed sleep. The decor is minimal, and the elegant headboard adds texture to the smooth walls. A couple of chequered cushions, a trendy light and an artsy vase make this space very modern.

5. Bunk beds are smart

Do you have more than one child or maybe your kid’s friends keep staying over? Then introduce bunk beds in the bedroom so that minimum floor area is wasted. The space under the bed can be used to install a study desk and practical shelves with ample artificial light.

6. Narrow but vibrant bathroom

Despite its sleekness, this bathroom looks ravishing with its curvy wall cladding, round mirror, trendy fixtures and an abundance of creamy white tones. The bold red ceiling and artwork add a dash of cheerfulness here.

7. Studio apartment hacks

Since studio apartment merge living, dining, kitchen and sleeping areas seamlessly, keep the decor minimal and designs sleek. Smooth and white surfaces will enhance spaciousness and brightness, while wooden flooring will ensure warmth. Choose simple and trendy furniture and one or two colourful items for an interesting look.

8. Smart designs are in

This small living room makes use of light colours and a glossy TV unit for brightness and visual depth. The sofa and coffee table are very contemporary, while the tall bookshelf acts as a partition between the living and other areas.

9. A small bathroom can be cosy

A floor to ceiling storage unit with cabinets and open shelves or niches is a must in a small bathroom. This can not only hold towels, cleaning supplies and laundry items, but can also accommodate the washing machine! Wooden flooring or wooden wall cladding will make the bathroom cosy, while a large mirror above the sink will lend the illusion of space. Add wicker baskets and towel rods for convenience.

10. Charming conservatory

If you have a small room overlooking a lush garden, turn it into a stylish conservatory by welcoming large glass windows. Wooden surfaces will keep the room warm in winters when you can relax here with a coffee or chat with close friends over snacks. Simple but trendy furniture along with colours like pastel blue will make for a charming ambiance. You can also create a skylight if you love watching stars at night.
