5 Tips When it Comes to Furnishing Small Spaces

When it comes to furnishing a space, don’t let the size of the space determine how much thought and effort goes into maximizing the space’s potential. Though it may be a small space, the functionality of the space isn’t necessarily less than that of a bigger one.

Here are some tips to ensure that you are maximizing the potential of any room you furnish: 

1. Choose Visually Lightweight Furniture

Think along the lines of slender furniture. When furnishing your room, choose pieces that have slender legs as they take up less visual space. Allowing for visual space will make a small space appear larger. 

2. Keep larger items on the perimeter of the room

Place items such as couches and hutches against the wall to maintain the feeling of depth in the space. 

3. Utilize Mirrors 

Mirrors offer a lot, especially in smaller rooms. While they’re a great decorative piece within themselves, they do so much more. If the room doesn’t get much natural light, mirrors can reflect what amount of natural light you do have around the room. Mirrors also help make spaces feel bigger by giving the illusion of more square feet. 

4. Experiment with Scale

Just because the room is small doesn’t necessarily mean the furniture has to be small. Choose large statement pieces wisely, and then go back in and focus on the smaller decor pieces. 

5. Keep Everything Cohesive 

Since the space is already on the smaller side, ensuring that the room is cohesive is important. Stick to a color palette and make sure all items in the room fit well in the space.

Make Buyers Feel at Home and Sell Faster

Make Buyers Feel at Home and Sell Faster - Milla Atlanta Real Estate

There’s never been a better time to sell a home.

Millennials are ready for homeownership and renters are seeing consistent rent increases. This means more buyers than ever are on the market for a home like yours. 

Home equity is also at all-time highs, which makes now the perfect time to sell and get more cash to put toward your next home.

Considering listing your home? Let’s start with the proven ways to maximize your returns: 

1. Clear the clutter. Crammed closets and overfilled garages can give buyers the impression your property is short on space. Declutter aggressively to accentuate the storage possibilities buyers get excited about. 

Pro Tip: Buyers love to open cabinets and drawers. Clear those spaces, too.

2. Maximize the possibilities. A potential home should be a blank slate — a space buyers can imagine making their own. Keep personal items to a minimum and aim for a neutral look. 

Pro Tip: Set the dinner table so buyers can visualize coming home after a long day.

3. Brighten it up. Expose as much natural light as possible. For darker or interior rooms, use high-wattage bulbs in light fixtures.

Pro Tip: A fresh coat of light paint makes a home feel cheerful and shows pride of ownership.

4. Rearrange the furniture. Can people move around without bumping into furniture? Does the layout invite guests to sit down and relax?

Pro Tip: To invite conversation, don’t make a TV the focal point of any room. 

5. Outside views matter. Exteriors make a critical first impression. Ace yours by repainting your entry door and polishing the door handle. Potted plants on patios or balconies also make the outside of your home feel welcoming.

Pro Tip: Colorful flowers on window sills look great indoors and add to the outside appeal.

Do you need help staging your home? Or maybe you have budget concerns about upgrades needed before you list. Reach out today. Let’s make sure we maximize the appeal of your home, simply and cost-effectively.
