Tips for a grand design of a small house
Choose multifunctional furniture, such as a bed with storage drawers or a folding dining table.
Work up height: shelves above doors or a loft bed with a workplace underneath create extra space.
Use light colors on walls and furniture for a spatial effect.
Mirrors and glass reflect light and make the space optically larger.
Minimize items: Choose consciously, mountain up in closed cupboards and keep surfaces empty.
