Do you live in a small apartment and have trouble to decorate? The boom of the departments already have in Latin America at least a decade and that makes the space, under the logic of functionality, are dwindling.

According to the architect Humberto Martinez, general manager of the Real Estate Marcan , the market average is now 50 m2 and there is increasing demand for one-bedroom apartments and, in general, in Latin America, the real estate sector has exploded, with strong emphasis on small houses . Farewell, therefore, large old houses in which the path from the kitchen to the master bedroom could take you at least a couple of minutes.

Although it may seem, however, that the decorative possibilities are more limited, here we give you an example that shows that with a little ingenuity, you can make a small space is really comfortable and welcoming :

In this room, we see how the place has been used wisely by using light colors and contrasting modern (such as white and bright green) that give a visual sense of spaciousness. The only window illuminates both the part of the bed (which serves both of drawers and futon) as desktop and wall shelves are used to place, as a bookseller. It is important in this regard, you take advantage of a lot of space up, what can be achieved simply by using dividers . Acquires some boxes to have everything pretty well ranked above them.

If you note, the focus is to illuminate and clear the most of the room and make objects in a dual meet (or even triple, if possible). multifunctional furniture you will, in this sense, very helpful, allowing you to also store objects inside.

The lights are tiny , inside the roof (no big grease spots) and are also strategically placed. The brown color of the floor also helps to expand the space. Forget the traditional long curtains, because the trend is replaced by a much more subtle blinds.

Another important detail to consider is that furniture should be light so as not to give a feeling of “heaviness.” Avoid heavy chairs and sofas (such as lining). And although it’s likely you can not afford a large wardrobe, one advantage of small space is that you “force” to keep your stuff always in order , avoiding unnecessary dishes.

Renouncing everything necessary, will always be organized. Here you can really apply the rule that “less is more” . Paint parts different colors (remember: always clear) will also help create fun contrasts. A thin carpet and some other help box, in turn, give you that personal touch that should have any room.

And if you think a small size is an impediment to move your furniture, then you are wrong! Even, we can install a mirror , it will also give a greater sense of space.

Do you know which room is the heart of the house ? Some may say that his bedroom, the room, but the truth is we all spend more time sitting comfortably in the kitchen , where we usually have breakfast and dinner almost daily. And why almost daily? Because most of us work and lunch out, but dinner always go home.

In this space we usually tell us how it went, share our secrets, to agree to leave or arrange a family outing or just play together at home, be a monopoly, a memory card or a game of poker .

As the most important area of the house, we can not leave abandoned because often our friends and family will join her and we always give a good impression. Therefore I will give some guidelines how you can improve the lighting in your kitchen to give it that touch of personality and warmth that every home should have.

Tips and recommendations

• A general recommendation given to us by experts in decoration is reviewing all of the lighting of the house, that is, see what kind of light in every room, so from there we can make the necessary changes.
• The main source of light in the room must come from the main focus comes from the ceiling , which should reach every corner of the kitchen after this and come-ons of light in specific corners.
• Usually the kitchen cabinets and drawers equipped with a kitchenette, a refrigerator and a dining room set aside where the family gathers to share breakfast, lunch (weekends) and dinner. One way to give personality to the kitchen to is placing light bulbs suitable for every room and corner.
• An example is light between the upper cabinets and kitchen furniture (where you put the blender, rice cooker and kitchen buckets), and in many small kitchens such as department, this part is used for chopping vegetables and finish preparing the food.
• It is therefore important to have enough light to perform this task with ease; to provide you with this job , you can install some lighting fixtures and recessed lighting to the naked eye does not see, but when you work a lot and will make you look smart and tidy your kitchen.
• Another area to highlight is the breakfast area (where we spent more time sitting in the kitchen), here we put warm lamps pendant that will enhance the area with incidental light.
• The recommended distance between the table and the lamp should be no less than about 60 cm. so that the brightness does not bother the guests feel very warm and the environment. If your cabinets are stained, you can enlighten them so that the dishes inside look striking and elegant.

Then I let some examples of how to light your kitchen with style and following the guidelines above:
