City living and spacious living don’t generally go hand in hand. With this in mind, here’s how to make the most of your home, whatever the size with our Shack Hack for small space solutions. We have our three top tips to help you have a clutter-free and calm home, from dining room to living room and beyond.
Clear some space
Clearing some space can in turn help to clear your mind. So in order to declutter, start by tidying. Think buffets, chests of drawers, bookshelves to store away pieces you don’t need out all the time, but would like easy access to at all times. Baskets can work wonders, too. Whether it is books and toys or paperwork, tools and curios, you can easily hide away bits and pieces to create a space of serenity.
Scale your furniture
As much as you may love an oversized dining table to entertain your friends and family night after night, it might not be the most practical solution for your living space. Try an extension table to help you out with extra seating when it is required. Or, a fixed round table can often work well in an awkward shape or size room. And if you have no designated office space, make your table work extra hard, by doubling up as a desk as well as a dining table.
Simplify your designs
Opting for a simple design of furniture, lighter colours and fewer patterns can help create a less busy look at home. This in turn will create a calmer ambience, and what more could you want than feeling at peace in your own space? If you prefer a one-off piece, browse our Antique Chinese collection. There are a few different options depending on the size of furniture you need, all with plenty of storage to help you find some of your own small space solutions.
