1. Choose a Minimalist Color Tone - Soft Yet Elegant
- Color accounts for 70% of the first impression.
- For small houses, you should choose: White – cream – beige – light gray tones: create a sense of openness, cleanliness, and modernity.
- Combine light-colored wood or light wood-like materials for the floor and cabinets to enhance a warm feeling.
- Avoid using more than 3 primary colors to prevent confusion.
Style suggestion: Scandinavian or Japandi (Japanese - Scandinavian)
2. Use Compact Furniture - With High Legs or Wall Mounted
A small tip from interior design: when exposing the skirt or hanging it on the wall, the room will look more spacious and taller.
- Use chairs, cabinets, and tables with slender, high legs.
- Utilize wall-mounted shelves instead of standing shelves.
- Beds with drawers underneath or foldable beds that turn into chairs.
3. Add a Large Mirror - Double the Space
A large mirror placed in the right position (opposite the window or at the end of the room) will help:
- Increase natural light
- Create the illusion of a larger space
- Add a touch of luxury to the overall appearance
Suggestion: A full-length mirror with a thin frame or a round mirror in Korean style.
4. Choose Curtains & Bed Linen in the Same Tone
A small space can easily become visually cluttered if the colors are not coordinated. Choose:
- Curtains, bed sheets, pillow covers, and cushion covers in the same color scheme or with the same pattern.
- Prioritize natural linen or coarse cotton materials to enhance the 'eco' aspect and create a relaxing atmosphere.
5. Create a 'Highlight' with a Painting, Lamp, or Potted Plant
Don't let the space become boring. A small highlight will help to create personality for the house:
- Abstract canvas paintings or light-toned landscape paintings
- Japanese or classic style pendant lights
- Small green potted plants or tall corner plants (for example: snake plant, money plant, monstera)
6. Use soft yellow light instead of harsh white light
Light is an extremely important factor in living spaces:
- The soft yellow LED lights create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.
- Combine decorative string lights, bedside lamps, and reading lamps to add depth.
Pro tip: use motion sensors or smart switches to control the lights more conveniently.
7. Seasonal Decoration - Smartly Changing the Space
You can change your living space according to the season in simple ways such as:
- Change the pillowcases, tablecloths, small plant pots, bed covers.
- Hang additional seasonal accessories: Christmas, Lunar New Year, summer beach...
- This is a tip to help you not feel bored when living long-term in a mobile home.
