The neighbor used these 4 tricks for decoration, and their 99 square meters is larger than my family's 120 square meters.

"Why is this 99㎡ bigger than my 120㎡?"

Dreamedhome often receives similar questions in the background. In fact, with the help of good design, a small space can look more spacious.

Take, for example, Mr. Xiao's house in Quanzhou, Fujian, which has a construction area of only 99㎡ but looks much more spacious with these design tricks:

1. Use a narrow and long entrance aisle with an integrated entrance cabinet and sideboard design.
2. Implement a dry and wet separation design in the bathroom with an external washstand and transparent glass partition.
3. Install full wall cabinets in the living room and master bedroom to maximize storage space.
4. Avoid using a main light in the whole house and opt for elegant hard assembly pigments to make the space feel refreshing.

Despite not having an independent entrance hall, the entrance area in Mr. Xiao's house looks spacious with the row of 4-meter-long combination cabinets along the wall. These cabinets provide ample storage for shoes, daily sundries, and even consumables like paper towels. The use of a warm color light strip and walnut cabinets further elevates the elegant and restrained feel of the entrance.

The kitchen and dining area also utilize space-saving techniques, such as dividing the sideboard into upper and lower cabinets and leaving the waist empty as a storage table. The handleless cabinets are customized to hold all the pots, pans, and kitchen supplies, while the flip cabinet above the refrigerator is used to store unused kitchen supplies.

In the living room, the use of gray tiles and pure white cabinet doors with no main light creates a calm and unique atmosphere. The TV wall area is also full of storage cabinets, while the handle less TV cabinet and smaller-sized sofa and coffee table minimize clutter and make the space feel more spacious.

The main bathroom features a dry and wet separation design with a suspended bathroom cabinet and ultra-thin light strip under the mirror cabinet. The use of semi-high cabinets and long rainbow glass for the partition not only creates a spacious feel but also provides more storage. The inner shower room also has a niche for storing toiletries.

The master bedroom features a spacious aisle on both sides of the big bed, a bay window for natural lighting, and a large-capacity wardrobe with eight doors. Leaving a 50cm aisle at the end of the bed provides enough walking space and leads straight to the main bathroom with a first-line layout sink, toilet, and shower area.

The second bedroom has a fresh Morandi green painted wall and a simple sliding door wardrobe with a black waistline design for decoration. The curved open area outside the wardrobe forms a hanging area with a snug bedside table inside.

In summary, good design can make a small space look more spacious and meet the storage needs of the home. The use of full wall cabinets and handleless cabinets, dry and wet separation design, and semi-high cabinets with rainbow glass partition are some of the tricks that can be used.
