Do you also think your home has lost all the space over the years? It happens gradually. You start with a clutter-free space, but over the years, the space gets crammed with memories, moments, and useless stuff around your home. Be it the attic, the divan in the living room, or the drawers in the kitchen, all would agree that you need remodeling for multifunctional spaces.

The process is simple- deep cleaning of the house and then hiring a remodeling expert who can create multifunctional spaces to maximize space and efficiency. An expert can help transform your home into a versatile, functional, and stylish living environment. 

Here are some expert tips for designing multifunctional spaces that suit your lifestyle. Read on!

Define The Purpose

“Which Area Do You Need Remodeled?”

You should have the answer to this question. 

  • Do you want to maximize the space in your kitchen?
  • Do you want to expand your home office or create a study in the attic?
  • Want to use your living room as a workout area? 

By defining your needs, you will make it easier for yourself and the remodeling expert to create a remodeling plan.

Invest in Smart Furniture

What takes up the most space in your home? In the living room, it's the couch and tables. In the bedroom, it's the bed and the closets. In the bathroom, it's your vanity. 

In short, every space is taken up mostly by the furniture. Thus, you should invest in smart furniture which serves multiple purposes.

Consider investing in:

  • Murphy beds that fold into the wall when not in use.
  • Extendable dining tables that can serve as workstations.
  • Storage ottomans that double as seating and hidden storage.
  • Modular sofas that can be rearranged for different uses.

These pieces of furniture help you save space while working as a storage space, too.

Use Built-In Storage Solutions

Have you planned for multiple storage units around the house, such as cabinets, shelves, etc.? Why don't you invest in built-in storage? 

Your remodeling expert will guide you through the process. There are many spaces in your kitchen which can work as a storage unit, such as:

  • Hidden storage under stairs.
  • Wall-mounted cabinets or foldable desks.
  • Floor-to-ceiling shelves or china cabinets. 
  • Window seats are also a great idea.

These ideas can save your home from getting cluttered.

Prioritize Lighting For Functionality and Ambience

Maximizing space is not merely about creating storage units in every nook and corner. It's the ambiance of a space that makes it look smaller or chaotic. Imagine a room painted in the darkest shade of moss green paired with a dim yellow lightbulb as the only illumination source. It will negate the color and its effects. 

Thus, you should always pick your colors carefully and invest in ambiance lighting. There are three layers of lighting- task lighting, accent lighting, and ambiance lighting. A remodeling expert will help you create the perfect layer of light that would give the place the illusion of a large space. 

Natural light maximization through large windows and mirrors is a popular idea. Also, dimmable LED lights allow you to set the mood for a quiet evening with your partner or having a horror movie night with your friends. 

Lighting can make all the difference when you use it right.

Flexible Room Dividers

Are you still relying on permanent walls when you have the option of a flexible room divider?

Gone are the days of permanent walls to divide space inside the home. You can use flexible partitions to divide your open floor plan or create zones in the house. Consider installing:

  • Sliding glass doors for an open yet private feel.
  • Curtains or foldable screens for a temporary partition.
  • Bookshelves or modular partitions to add storage while creating defined zones.

These take less space, which makes them a preferred solution these days.

Carefully Choose Your Color Palette

While most minimalistic modern homes rely on pastel shades and whites, you can still create a distinct look for your home while using the richest shades. A consistent color scheme helps different functions blend seamlessly. Neutral colors such as white, beige, and gray create a unified look, while accent colors can define specific areas. For small areas, remodeling experts suggest a lighter tone. For private space, you can go for the bolder shades. For example, painting the ceiling blood red in the bedroom will make it look elegant and royal. Using moss green in the study makes it look rich and inviting. 

Play with colors and design a space that reflects your personality without being chaotic.
