3 Ways to maximise your home space

Having more space in a home remains a goal for many Australians, according to an article in Domain.com.au. And it’s not only for those with big families. These days, the appeal of big houses or properties with more rooms extends to the range of uses they present.

If you have a big family then you can take advantage of the rooms for individual uses. If you don’t then you can turn the extra space into functional areas.  Extra rooms give you space to do your hobbies, work from home or accommodate more family and friends.

If you have just realised how great or ideal having more space in your home, then consider these ideas to optimise the space and use.

  1. Extend your living space outdoors

Opening up your home up to the outdoor areas can widen your space significantly.

You can install large sliding doors in your living room or kitchen so when the time’s right, you can simply open them to extend outside. This gives you a wide space to accommodate more people and special events.

Choose a door that opens up splendidly to other parts of the house when needed.

  1. Use your space wisely

Instead of having just one big space, consider breaking them down into smaller areas which can offer specific or added functions.

For instance, can you separate your dining area from the kitchen or living room? Is there room to create an office?

  1. Small spaces can make big statements

Look at ways to make your space stand out in terms of aesthetics or functionality. For instance, if you add a small patio to your back, then why not make it multipurpose with a mini-kitchen. It’s also a great way to add more value to your home.

Make sure you work with a professional that can help you achieve your long-term goals. A good builder or interior designer can help you come up with ways to maximise use and space.
