Small homes have been trending for the last couple of years and we are deep diving into 4 clever ways you can spruce up your micro space with ease! Interior design is incredible because you can be creative, save money, and go about projects on your own time. Read more below to be inspired for your next petite project!

When it comes to small homes, space is everything. Our first trick of the day: multifunctional furniture. Utilizing each piece in your home is crucial for making your home feel 10x bigger and this can be done by using an ottoman for extra storage, a desk that converts into a nightstand, a murphy bed that functions as a sofa during the day, and a kitchen island that can be rolled into the corner on wheels for larger gatherings. You can find a multiude of furniture pieces that serve more than one purpose on websites on higher end storefronts such as Uttermost or even every day storefronts such as Ikea.

Small spaces may not have the floor area for decorative items, so we suggest "Going Up." This can mean displaying decorative and family herilooms on shelving, window frames, and floor to ceiling custom open cabinetry. Your creativity can truly soar in this department. You should be able to display all of your items so why not utilize wall space and hidden nooks to do so. We love this inspiration photo from City Home and you can build this all on your own!

Want to know the secret on saving space in bathrooms...decorating those corners! Small bathrooms may be tough to provide enough storage especially if more than one person is using the space, however, if you place the sink and small cabinetry in the corner of the bathroom, you can actually open up the space by twice its original size! You can create a visually stunning corner filled with an over the faucet mirror, artwork, and even a cool hanging pendant light fixture to create a unique ambiance for the room. The possibilities are endless and when it comes to decorating those tiny bathrooms, don't forget about those corners.

Keeping the floors clean and living simply will help you during your small home renovation. We love the idea of wall sconces in the primary bedroom, over the door hanging racks for storage, bench seating instead of chairs, and getting creative with nooks and under the staircase spaces. By keeping your space clean and free of clutter while also being resourceful with your decor and furniture, this is the ultimate combination for any small space.
