Small Space

Space is the greatest luxury of the 21st century, and two important elements to consider are unity and proportion. To create a harmonious environment, use similar colours and textures in the area or connected spaces. Additionally, employing the same basic materials for surfaces and finishes can enhance cohesion.

Proportion is another vital aspect; one effective solution is to scale up furniture and fittings to achieve definition and visual weight. A small space with minimal furnishings will always remind you of its limited size, but a thoughtfully furnished room that is appropriately scaled can create a unique atmosphere and character, starting with a strong design idea.

Here are some tips to maximise small spaces:

1. Build up, not out.

2. Work with the architecture of the space.

3. Incorporate storage into furniture designs.

4. Maintain a high window-to-wall ratio.

5. Make use of all visible space.

6. Keep the flooring light.

7. Add skylights, glazed floors, and ceilings.

8. Focus on natural elements and neutral colours.
