Tip: If something doesn’t serve a purpose or make you happy to see it, it probably doesn’t need to stay out.

6. Add Layers, Not Bulk

Small spaces can still feel warm and inviting. Use lightweight fabrics, like linen or cotton, for curtains and throws. A few textured pieces — a woven rug, wooden stool, or soft blanket — add comfort without heaviness.

Summary

A small home can feel just as open and relaxing as a large one when designed with intention. Focus on light, balance, and simplicity rather than size. The result is a space that feels clear, comfortable, and truly yours — no square meters required.
