Choosing the Right Furniture For a Small Home

Small homes may seem difficult to furnish at first but if you custom homes, from the furniture to the colors, you can make it seem so much larger. The biggest decision to make is what furniture is essential Kitchens can be very tight and you may want to exchange an island for a small table. Then you have furniture that plays a double role, a place to eat and an extra place to store those little kitchen essentials that you just can't have too many of. Get the island on wheels and you now have a piece of furniture that you can move whereeven and when ever you may need to. When choosing and island I always recommend getting one that has a counter with space below it or has a counter that swings up. Then you can silde your stools under it getting them out of the way. Obviously the barstools can thave backs if your looking for maximum benefit. Backless barstools are a great way to help save space in the kitchen. For a small family of 2 - 4 people getting a table in the dining room that is only large enough to seat everyone is a great way to save space. If you have a great room instead of a standard dining room and living room something to consider is that a square or rectangular table works really well because you can push it up against a wall which gets it out of the way and maximizes the room you do have. The chairs should be small but comfortable. Something else you can do, especially if you have kids is put a bench on one or 2 sides of the table. This will give you a chance to fit more of your kids on each side of the table and you can slide it under the table when it's not in use. Benches should be sized so that they fit under the table and between the legs if you have a leg table. For your home office getting one or two pieces of furniture that serve as many functions as possible is the best solution. This more often than not means an L desk, The beauty of an L desk is that you get a hutch but can still arrange it so that the desk is under a window. Not to mention the extra storage the hutch gives you for books, folders and other items. Chosen properly they can easily be everything you need. The bedroom can be a tricky depending on how much room you have. In the case of not much room at all it may be better to choose 1 piece of furniture to put your clothes in like a L-Dresser . The advantage is that it's quite tall and has more than enough storage for all your clothesSometimes a lingerie chest works out very well too. They have a small footprint and go quite high . If there isn't much space on the sides of the bed for nightstands you might want to consider using taller plant stands or long narrow end tables. Living rooms are generally the most flexible. The first thing to do is mount the TV on the wall, this will free up a lot of space that would be taken up by a plasma stand or entertainment center. When it comes to furniture for the living room I have found that the coffee table is one of those things that is definitely optional and only necessary if you have the extra room. A great way to save space it to make sure that all the end tables you choose are shared by 2 seats. That way you get the bggest bang for your buck. Chairs, couches or loveseats that have cup holders built into the armrest can help cut down on the end tables that you need. Color can have a big effect on the way a room looks. To keep a room looking nice and open choose colors that are bright and cheery without lots of detail or intricate borders.. Keep in mind that darker colors have a tendency to make the room feel smaller. Stay away from furniture that is very ornate as lots of detail and decoration can make the piece of furniture seem larger than it is.
