A small house can be completely transformed if you carefully manage the spaces horizontally and vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1-137x205.jpg 137w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1.jpg 1868w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shelves can be precious allies, able to make the most out of our walls.\nWith a larger room you probably would have chosen a table for your lamp but in\nsome cases it is preferable to opt for a shelf. Even the floor comes to our\nrescue and helps us transform spaces. Choose floors that match the walls and\nwith large-format slabs. A marble floor without gaps will produce an optical\neffect that will help make the room feel bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little solutions for every room<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-307x205.jpg 307w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2.jpg 1950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A small kitchen can create challenges. It is a particularly lived and\nused room, it requires space for appliances and to prepare dishes. The\nsituation becomes more complicated if there is no dining room. In this case it\nis also strategic to make use of the walls and add suspended furniture and\nshelves to store appliances and useful cooking tools. The snack counter is\nuseful and aesthetically pleasing, a solution that will also save you precious\nspace. There are several solutions for the bedroom. The simplest one? Using a\nbed with a container. This way the room will be a lot tidier. Is the living\nroom too small? Make use of light with large windows and mirrors, useful to\ncreate an optical effect that immediately makes the room bigger. In general,\nchoose furniture with a minimal style and essential design and do not\nover-decorate the rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspirations from Japan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Japanese are masters in making the most out of their spaces. Suffice to say they invented capsule hotels, tiny hotel rooms widely used by workers. In Japan, apartments are often small and require spaces to be optimised. In fact some apartments are around 15-20 square metres. One of the most popular Japanese solutions is centred around the mezzanine. If the height allows it, obtaining a mezzanine for the bed or study makes it possible to save a lot of space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>The Editor<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decorating a small house is often a challenge.
