There are many good reasons for downsizing into a small home. Bigger isn’t always better, contrary to what people usually say or think. The extra space of a larger home encourages us to fill them with things we don’t need, sometimes leading to a disorganized mess. Cutting out that clutter in your life will do wonders for your psyche.

If you’re considering this kind of lifestyle change, read more about it in the accompanying guide!

Few of us are lucky enough to live in a place of our dreams, which means most of us must work with what we got. No matter how small your place might be, there are simple techniques to create the illusion of additional space. Manipulating things like color, texture and patterns won’t add any square footage to your home but will help you feel less cramped and claustrophobic. For example, using a monochromatic color palette will make a room feel more airy and open, compared to a room with loads of contrast.

The accompanying guide contains many more ideas on how to make your small place feel like a big space. Apply them to your home and it will feel much closer to the dream space you’ve always wanted.
