House Design Tips 2016: 10 Ways to Make your Home More Functional Without Compromising Style

There are ways to improve your home décor's functionality without compromising the style. Check out these 10 tips:

The first thing every home owner should take note is to maximize the vertical space of the house. This will allow the house to look spacious. To achieve this, add some tall bookcases, cabinets or shelves or hanging hooks for jackets in the hallway. They can also add a desk in the corner of the bedroom or living room. Allow the natural light to get in, too.

Second, get rid of any clutter inside the house. Try to segregate the items that are still needed and those that aren't needed anymore. This will allow more space. For pieces of paper, files from office, so on, there should be some filers available to make everything much more organized.

Third, make direct paths in the house by leaving enough space where the people could walk efficiently without really bumping to any piece of furniture. 

Fourth, avoid disorganized lids or plastics, supplies and any other stuff inside the cabinets or in the pantry, or even shoes elsewhere in the house. There should be proper containers where all of these small things should be placed. A lot of storage options are already out in the market like boxes specifically for this purpose.

Fifth, if the house owner needs to have an office or a study area and there is no separate room for this, add a desk in the corner of the room. This should not be placed in the middle of any room either the bedroom or living room.

Sixth, make use of the customized pieces of furniture to maximize the space.  For example, look for a table where it has drawers to store all the papers, magazines, etc.

Seventh, do the specific work in the area where it is intended to be done. For example, don't do paper work in the kitchen area. It will make the area more untidy. This can also defeat the purpose of the room.

Eighth, in relation to storage, there should be a proper storage for big linens or towels and any other fabrics needed inside the house. From the table linen down to face towels, there should be a cabinet where all of these will be stored neatly.

Ninth, to make the home function much more effectively, allow the arrangement of the house invite the natural lighting of the house. There is nothing more that beats the natural way when lighting the house.

Tenth, make use of the space. If the house only measures 160 square feet, the entire space should be properly consumed with all of the functionality every home owners need to feel comfortable  when they stay at home.

There should be no hassle or unnecessary bulky stuff kept inside the house. Start decluttering and do research as much as possible to the latest trends in house décor especially to the home functions which is really the crucial part for home design for 2016.
