As the demand for properties grows, particularly in sought after areas such as London, space is becoming more of an asset. Many new examples of residential architecture and elsewhere are becoming notorious for getting smaller and smaller. This is especially true for flats. In recent times, we have seen news items about the more extreme examples such as an one-room property for £275,000, containing just 188 square feet, as well as houses just seven and twelve feet wide on the property market for tens of thousands of pounds. However, you shouldn't have to sacrifice your quality of life just because you're living in a space that is smaller than usual. Obviously, you should do all you can to make the most of the space. You can consider furnishings that have multiple purposes, such as tables with hidden storage space. Colour and light can also be useful when it comes to small spaces, visually opening up the space and creating the illusion of more room. Of course, most important of all is the actual architecture and layout of the home itself. Even the most compact homes can feel spacious and when the right design is in place.
