Designing a small space with a generous pinch

Every time I design a home, an office or any space there is this utopian craving, wishing that I could expand and elasticize the space by adding a few more inches. Though that fancy never really worked out what but I would want to share with you today are some tips to ways on how a small space could be hacked with clever designing to expand it's function to the brim.



In metropolitan cities, specially in the likes of Mumbai, living space is expensive and the available space has to be used creatively & effectively maximizing the utility. Simple briefs can often be harder than complex ones, but in this case the design team Intento, under the young lead of the principals Suvarna and Mandar Joshi, took up the challenge and came up with a comfortable decor where neutral colours where used to all moveable objects like side tables, cushions, paintings, photo frames and artifacts. Instead of the commonly used foldable furniture, see-through, elevated furniture were designed so that it does not obstruct the vision thus triumphing well over the space constraint. 






Like in this design, playfulness of vibrant accessories can be used in the small footprint of even a 470 square-foot apartment to add brisk and drama to it. Every inch of the space should be efficiently used incorporating all the functional requirements collaborated with trim aesthetics. In a tight space the the trick would be the balance of all design elements put together in tandem to look dapper as well as cater to the dynamics of all functions. 





The steps to designing a small space, with the feel of amazing expanse, is to carefully consider the space, purposefully design and position the furniture and derive space efficient solutions integrating each element to form a part of the larger design as has been successfully implemented and accomplished in the design we discussed today. So go ahead, get your creatives ticking and expand your living space.

  1. This post does come as a relief to all those who are silent sufferers of space constraint in all metros. Be it the home or office, space is certainly an issue. Maximising the visual see through along with the colour balance and dynamic utility of the furnitures or furnishings hold a serious impact which is so well explained in the post. Another meaningful digest for the people who are tight on space is what this post is about.
