Coming home to a comfortable and cosy flat is a pleasure. But comfort is sometimes not easy. Let’s tell you how to organise your space and create a cosy and functional environment, regardless of the size of your home.
Common problems in organising space
Cluttering
One of the most common problems is cluttering the space with excessive furniture or things that have not been used for a long time. Not only does this create a sense of chaos, but it also visually reduces the size of the room.
Lack of storage systems
A lack of cupboards, shelves or drawers leads to things being scattered all over the house. Without a reliable storage system, the space quickly loses its organisation.
Incorrect zoning
Small flats often lack a clear division into zones – kitchen, bedroom, workspace – which can create inconvenience and hinder functionality.
Lack of light
Small flats and rooms often lack natural light, which makes the space dark and cramped.
Tips for organising your space
Minimalism is your friend. Refuse unnecessary furniture and furnishings. Leave only what is really necessary. Use multifunctional furniture. This can be sofas with storage drawers, transformer tables or beds with lifting mechanisms.
Utilise vertical space. In small rooms, every square metre counts, so walls can and should be used for storage. Install shelves, hinged cupboards and hooks. This will help to free up space on the floor and visually expand the space.
Zoning with furniture and light. Divide the space into functional zones using furniture, rugs or lighting. For example, use shelving or screens to separate the living room and bedroom areas, or hang different lights to zone your workspace and lounge area.
Organise storage systems. Invest in quality storage systems such as drawers, baskets, bins and cupboard organisers. They will help keep things organised and make it easy to find the items you need. Use the space under your bed or sofa to store seasonal items or other rarely used items.
Use light colours and mirrors. Light colours visually enhance the space, making the room feel larger and brighter. Mirrors also help create the effect of extra space and reflect light, making the room look brighter and wider.
Space Organisers
- Organisers and storage systems. Special drawers, baskets, hanging organisers and containers help to keep cupboards and shelves tidy.
- Mirrors with storage spaces. Mirrors with shelves or drawers allow you to store small items and visually expand the space.
- Tiered racks and shelves. They help to use vertical space and are suitable for storing books, decor and household items.
Proper organisation of space helps to create comfort and cosiness even in the smallest flat. By following these simple tips and using functional furniture and accessories, you can make your home not only more comfortable, but also more beautiful.
