​
However, one can ask about the changes to enhance a small house? How will you be able to maximize the space that you already have? This article can help you by giving you some useful tips to follow. Continue reading to learn more.

Part One: Consider the Layout
The first thing that you need to think about is the layout of your living area. For example, if you have a square space to live in, perhaps a 20 to 30 square foot apartment, the issue that you are going to have with these particular dimensions is storage, among many others. You cannot place big chunks of drawers or cabinets inside the house because it will take up too much space.

Part Two: The Solution

1. Get Functional Furniture
   To solve this, you have to make sure that you get functional furniture. There are a variety of couch fixtures that can double as storage space because of the additional hollow bottom underneath. You can also get a sofa that can double as your very own bed if you don't have enough room for a division.
   
   
2. Utilize Your Walls
   Some designers create storage cupboards and shelves behind the walls so that it will not take up too much space but still provide a place to stow away everything. You can use functional walls to hide kitchen fixtures and appliances that you don't use often.
   
   By doing this, they can easily break up space into sections without having to renovate the house.
   
   
3. Change Your Wall Paint 
   If you want to break up the entire space, you can change the wall paint on one side of the room versus another side. For example, if you are going to use an ample floor plan for both the kitchen and living room, but you don't plan to use a divider, painting the two sides of each wall space can work to delineate the single space.
   
   
4. Get Shelf Dividers
   You can also use flimsy decorative shelves to act as a space divider between the kitchen and living room. That is if you don't have enough money to renovate the kitchen to add a countertop, which can serve to divide your living and dining area. The additional shelves can also serve as more storage space for any décor that you may have and want to put on display.
   
   
5. Add Carpeting
   Another way for you to break up a single space is to add carpeting to one part of the room. For example, if you are going to have a unique space for both your bedroom and the living room, you can place the bed in one corner on top of differently colored carpeting.
   
   By doing this, you will be able to contrast the flooring texture and create a brand new look for the small area at the same time.
