Welcome back to The ArchiTalk with Suma.

Designing a small home can feel challenging, but with the right approach, even compact spaces can feel open, comfortable, and spacious.

Today, let’s talk about simple design ideas that make small homes feel bigger.
The first key is light.

Natural light instantly makes a space feel larger. Use light-coloured walls, sheer curtains, and keep windows unobstructed. Mirrors placed strategically can also reflect light and visually expand the room.

Next is smart furniture.

Choose furniture that fits the scale of your space. Multi-functional furniture, like storage beds or foldable tables, saves space and reduces clutter. Avoid bulky pieces that overpower the room.
Layout and flow are equally important.

Open layouts, minimal partitions, and clear walking paths make a home feel more breathable. Keeping the floor visible as much as possible helps create a sense of openness.
Storage planning is another game-changer.

Use vertical storage, built-in cabinets, and hidden storage to keep spaces organized. Less clutter always means more space.

Finally, keep the design simple and consistent.

A limited colour palette and minimal décor create visual continuity, making small homes feel calm and spacious.

With thoughtful design, small homes can feel big in comfort and style.
