It’s so nice to finally having my own space to live! The size is probably not too big, but I’m free to arrange it the way I like. One of my way to celebrate this stage of my life is decorating it to be a comfortable resting place and accommodating my daily needs from work to pleasure. Here are several pointers I use as guideline during my journey:
1. Storages
When I lived with my parents, our problems mostly circled around messy rooms caused by a lot of our stuffs not having their own storage and ended up scattered on the floor. So this becomes my top priority when building my own home. I take note on my primary needs, calculate how to much space they will take and try to work it out with the actual space I have. I also try to forecast how I will grow as a person for at least 3 years ahead. I find it really helpful to have a little preparation for the future so I don’t have to change things dramatically around the house or move to a new space.
2. Custom Furniture
Memesan perabotan rumah untuk disesuaikan dengan ruangan tempat tinggalmu akan sangat membantu bahasan kita di poin pertama. Ukuran ruangan yang terbatas biasanya membutuhkan perabotan yang tidak memakan banyak tempat tetapi bisa berfungsi secara maksimal. Selain fungsinya, kamu juga bisa mendesainnya sesuai seleramu. Jika kamu ingin warna atau bentuk tertentu yang toko retail tidak sediakan, memesannya khusus dari pengrajin bisa jadi jawabannya.
3. Big Window
Small space tends to give cramped vibe, and that’s when big window comes to the rescue. Having a lot of source of light will greatly improve a room to feel more refresh, airy and warmth.
4. Multipurpose Space
When you have a small or limited space, we need to be creative so our house can serve our need. In this case, I need a working space and work out space because I do a lot of those two things mostly at home. I end up designing my dinner table to also serve as working desk and place it by the window. I also pick a chair and a table that are foldable, so everytime I go working out, I can have more space by folding them up. Voila, 1 space that can accommodate 3 differents activities. The key is to figure out your habit and needs beforehand, and build a home based on that. That way, you will feel more content in your own home and also feel good about living there!
