Do good things come in small packages? Here at homify, we just might have to agree.  We love decorating and planning small homes and interiors and helping you in the process. 

Really, decorating a small home takes just as much consideration as decorating a large home – only the space is adjusted. There are decisions that might seem drastic, yet thinking minimally and essentially will help you in this decision-making process. Your aesthetic, no matter your taste, will need to be essential, minimalist and multifunctional. You will need to focus on balance, both vertical and horizontal balance, as well as balance with colours.  This article will introduce you to the various techniques that homify users, designers and writers are using in order to decorate and beautify tiny living spaces, making them feel grand, modern, and one-of-a-kind…

1. Furniture

In smaller homes, consider furnishings that can perform more than one task. This might include a coffee table equipped with storage, or an accent table with a built-in lamp.  All of these items are now available in high-end designs and they cut down on the amount of items that you feel you need in your living room. 

Retro and vintage-style furnishings also tend to be smaller in size, so consider mid-century design or Danish design with filling your tiny home with wonderful chairs, tables and a sofa. 

2. Colours

Obviousy most designers will tell you to stick to light and neutral colour palettes in smaller homes as to widen and deepen the space. This is a great tip, and the tiny living room here uses it perfectly. However, if you want to consider colours, don't be afraid to!

Depending on your style and where you live, certain colours might attract you more than others. For perfect colours in your Malaysian living room, have a look at this article!

3. Accessories

Going too far with accessories is one easy way to immediately clutter and overcrowd your small home. A few pieces of wall art, hung in a cool way, and plants are the two easiest options! Shelving systems are also a great way to both hold items and to display your favourite decorative pieces. For a more cohesive look, choose shelving that matches the finishes of your other furnishings.

When it comes to more functional spaces, like bathrooms and laundry rooms, there are definitely certain decorating mistakes to avoid

4. Lights

Lighting is a tried and true method to totally change the atmosphere of a home and smaller homes are no different. Both interior and exterior lights can give a certain appeal to homes that those without will lack. 

Under-cabinet and under-shelf lighting are quick and easy ways to highlight certain features of your home, and give your home an extra light boost if you have lack natural light. 

5. Multifunctional spaces

When it comes to the living room and especially bedroom, consider furnishings that will allow for hidden storage compartments for organisation. 

This sofa has perfectly sized drawers underneath and a sofa that folds out into a bed is a great way for those of you in tiny homes to still feel hospitable to your traveling guests and friends.

6. Making it about you

In the end, no matter what size your home is, make it all about you. Yes, it should be functional and efficient, but don't skimp on items that are meaningful to you in order to pull off a certain look. Find creative ways to include items you love, and use shelving systems to display art and unique items to provide a sense of self into the atmosphere. 

Small and tiny homes are cosy, efficient and surprisingly can provide you with a life built around happiness and essentialism. This ideabook can give you a direct plan on what to do and not to do to achieve your personal taste goals in your tiny home!
