1- The Right Color Choice
The thing we want to avoid is the feeling of being cramped, crowded, and closed when sitting in a small house like PPR housing. So, we have to prioritize first before starting to decorate to make our cute house look more spacious.
The trick is to use soft and light colors such as white, beige, pale gray, and soft blue on the main space, such as the kitchen and living room. Automatically your tiny house will look spacious!
Wall color plays the most important role, so make sure you choose the right color. Contract on smaller items like cushions or rugs for an exciting color spill on your living room.
If possible, do not use too many different colors to maintain a minimalist and orderly feel.
2- Use the Concept of Reflection
Aside from playing with colors for a brighter and more spacious living space, you can also use the concept of reflection, especially for tiny houses like PPR housing, where sometimes there is not enough light to enter the house.
If for a living room or dining room, use various sizes and shapes of mirrors because they help reflect light in the cute space. If you don’t like many mirrors, you can also use a large mirror as a decoration.
Another way to make your space look bigger is to use a glossy surface on the finishing cabinet, for example, in the kitchen. The shiny surface will reflect light, and automatically, your kitchen will continue to feel spacious.
You can also use a cabin with a bright surface to get a bright and airy atmosphere. If you feel brave, contact an antique mirror as a back splash, and instantly, your kitchen will be more unique and spacious!
3- Use a Space Divider
If a studio apartment is your choice, you must know how dizzy it is to separate the space when the kitchen, bedroom, living room are all in one box.
Take a moment… Don’t stress, okay. This is your chance to use decorations that not only beautify the house but at the same time can give the illusion of different zones on your residence. Interesting, right?
If you have more budget, choose a glass-type space divider because it does not obstruct the passage of light and at the same time gives an elegant and exclusive result.
A high bookshelf can be a practical room divider because you will have storage space and a place to put decorations.
Meanwhile, the use of curtains or ‘floating art’ will give you the division of space without spending a lot of money. The installation is flexible and easy according to your creativity!
4- Provide Storage Space
Storage space is the essential element in residence, especially in a small apartment or PPR housing, due to the lack of available space.
Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, we have to maximize the storage space. If we take it easy, the increased items will cause the house to become littered because we run out of reach to the store!
Prevent this from happening by making sure each space is maximized as storage space.
For example, put extra storage space above the kitchen cabinets. There you can place practical, cheerful colored decorative items such as a set of bowls of various sizes or containers that can hide your other things.
Don’t forget to maximize vertical space as well! Use an appropriate wall position to place a floating shelf or shelf according to your needs. So, don’t let your stuff take up too much floor space.
You can DIY an old picture frame in the bedroom and turn it into a place to hang earrings or other jewelry.
Cheerful colors will continue to look like attractive decor without having to use a lot of space!
5- Choose Multifunctional Furniture
For this small but cute house, the size of the furniture must play an important role.
Want to buy quality furniture must cost a lot, so we do not want to choose the wrong. No matter, it will take up space and make our house feel cramped. Another, when looking for furniture, choose the one that is comfortable and beautiful in our eyes.
To ensure we get what we want, take the time to research the right furniture for our home layout. Get used to looking for furniture that has more than one function to maximize our use and spending.
For example, a sofa bed is very suitable as a studio apartment deco because of its ability to fold after use. Use it as a sofa during the day and bedtime, turn it into a bed. You don’t have to waste space for a big bed!
If a sofa bed is not enough, add a seat for guests with a storage chair or storage bench that can also be used to store your sheets or towels. Are these tips wise?

Start decorating your small bathroom by choosing a wall color according to your taste. Bright color concepts and a retro or classic theme can give a high-class touch and a luxurious look.
While dark and bold color shades such as black and dark blue are suitable for bathrooms with natural light from the windows, make sure the color matches the whole bathroom no matter which one you choose.
Then, add a fresh flavor by placing artificial plants or suitable ornamental trees. The green color can prevent the bathroom from looking dull.
The natural touch that plants provide is not only beautiful but also inexpensive and easy to care for.
10- Luckily There Is A Balcony!
Every inch of space is beneficial, so if you have a balcony outside the house, don’t waste it. Use home yard elements suitable for rainy and hot weather throughout the year, such as deck tiles.
Besides being cheap and durable, it provides beautiful packaging and brings a difference to your balcony.
If it fits, add seats made of wood pellets and cushions. Your regular balcony will continue to transform into a comfortable lounge.
