Making room for a dining space even in small living areas is much easier with the right choice of table. Opt for circular or oval tables rather than rectangular ones, as these rounded edges allow more people to sit around them without taking up so much room.

Flexible furniture is key in a small home, especially when it comes to items that don’t need to be used every day. Think about desks that can be folded away come 5 pm, beds that could become a sofa come morning time – each item will help you reclaim space to enjoy when needed.

One big thing that makes or breaks a small home is light. Overlarge mirrors can create the illusion of a bigger space, while also reflecting light throughout your home for a bigger, brighter feeling.

It may seem counterintuitive to make a small room even smaller, but dividing screens are a great addition in small open-plan homes. Moveable screens can not only look pretty, but they also help you create a flexible, multipurpose space that changes as and when you need it to change.

In small homes, you want to make sure you really use every nook and cranny you’ve got. Corner furniture like desks and storage units can help you make the most of each room.

Color blocking is a helpful technique that separates areas of the home without adding any extra clutter. Grouping different “zones” in the home by color can make a big impact on how people perceive and move through the space.
