Advantages of living in a small house
Buying a small house can be a very wise decision, especially in the current context:
- Save money: The most obvious advantage is that smaller properties are less expensive. Smaller houses tend to have lower purchase prices compared to larger properties. This not only translates into a lower mortgage, but also lower costs e.g. utilities.
- Less maintenance: Smaller properties are easier to maintain, allowing homeowners to enjoy more free time without the hassle of extensive chores.
- Energy efficiency: Smaller homes are naturally more energy-efficient. With less space to heat or cool, homeowners benefit from lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Strategic location: Small houses are usually in urban areas or prime locations, allowing easy access to services, public transport and cultural activities.
Tips for maximising space in a small house
Maximising space in a small home can be challenging, but there are numerous strategies to help you make the most of every square metre:
- Multifunctional furniture: Choose furniture with dual functions, like a sofa bed or a dining table that also serves as a desk.
- Custom furniture: Consider custom-made furniture tailored to your space, such as a built-in wardrobe or a bed with integrated drawers.
- Mirrors: Placing mirrors on the walls can make the space feel larger by reflecting light and creating the illusion of depth.
- Sliding doors: They are an excellent alternative to swing doors, saving space and allowing for smoother movement.
- Smart organisation: Keep your things organised with storage boxes, baskets and organisers. Make the most of the spaces inside wardrobes and under beds.
- Foldable or collapsible furniture: Opt for furniture that can be folded or dismantled when not in use, like a folding dining table.
