Houses have changed over the years. The different spaces have adapted to successive fashions and many aspects of the construction have evolved: living rooms and dining rooms have narrowed, kitchens have become smaller, bedrooms have become areas not only for sleeping… Everything has been changing, but some houses have become obsolete, and they are not as modern, bright and efficient as they could be. We’re going to give you a few ideas to refurbish spaces in your house.
How to reform spaces in your house: ideas
Reforming spaces in your house means rethinking the way we live. It’s not only about making it prettier, but we can also make it more spacious, more luminous, more energy efficient… it’s about a complete chip change, for which we’ll give you some tips below:
In small homes, make the most of space
A small home can be very comfortable and spacious if well designed. The key is always to enlarge the spaces, pulling partitions so that the light reaches everywhere.
In addition, you have to learn how to make the most of the space with the furniture: a built-in wardrobe under a staircase, changing the bed for a sofa, opting for an integral kitchen… In this way we convert the openings into useful space.
In old houses, it enlarges the windows and provides light.
The great problem of old houses is the spaces communicated between them, which give rise to unusable rooms or interiors, without light. One way to avoid these interior spaces is to enlarge the exterior spaces, pulling partitions to create large and luminous rooms. Another option is to leave the interior rooms for specific uses (bathrooms, passageways), keeping the exteriors as areas to enjoy.
In modern dwellings, use warm materials
Modern houses have the problem of being normally very cold, so one way to give warmth to the different rooms is to use warm colours on the walls and materials such as wood, which give a more natural air to all spaces.
