THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE BUYING FURNITURE FOR YOUR HOME

Buying the correct furniture for your apartment is always a tough call to make. And if your home is small, then it requires more effort and thought. To buy smart furniture with good storage capacity and also to create optical illusions that makes your house look bigger, here are some decor tips from experts.

Hang a curtain around your bed. Choose a soothing colour that compliments the walls of the room as well as your bedside lamp shade. This simple trick will make your sleeping space cosy and comfortable.

Another way to liven up small space is by bringing in smart furniture. In a small space, every single piece of furniture must provide multiple functions. There is a wide variety of multipurpose racks available in the market.

Be smart with storage. Use vertical space with floor-toceiling shelving for your bare essentials. If you plan to stay longer, use store knick-knacks in wicker baskets or embellished boxes to keep everything clean and organised.

Invest in a centre table, which doubles as a coffee table, and when you pull the top up, it becomes an instant work station. All your documents, books, remote controls or other small stuff can also go into the storage when the table opens up.

An extendable table is also a perfect idea if you prefer eating on a dining table. You can easily convert a four seater to six seater depending on the number of guests at your place.
