Designing a small home can be challenging. With limited space, even tiny mistakes can make your rooms feel cramped and cluttered. Here are the most common interior design mistakes to avoid if you want a stylish and functional compact home.
1. Choosing Bulky Furniture
Oversized sofas and heavy units overpower small rooms. Select multi-functional and streamlined furniture to maintain a spacious look.
2. Ignoring Vertical Space
Walls are valuable storage and display zones. Add floating shelves or tall cabinets to maximise height and free up floor area.
3. Poor Lighting Planning
Dark corners make rooms look smaller. Use layered lighting—ambient, task, and accent—to brighten and visually open up the space.
4. Too Many Colours and Patterns
Mixing too many elements can create visual chaos. Stick to a cohesive palette and use patterns sparingly as accents.
5. Blocking Natural Light
Heavy curtains and furniture near windows block sunlight. Use sheer drapes and keep window areas clear to expand brightness.
6. Not Decluttering Regularly
Small homes need smart organisation. Built-in storage and minimal décor help avoid a crowded feeling.
7. Pushing All Furniture Against the Walls
Contrary to belief, placing furniture slightly away from walls can improve the flow and create a better layout.
8. Forgetting Multi-Purpose Zones
Rooms can serve more than one purpose with foldable desks, wall-mounted tables, or modular seating arrangements.
