Sometimes everyone feels like their house needs some changes, and that's normal - we all want something new once in a while.

When you feel like your house isn't as comfortable for you as it could be, you can just optimize it a bit without completely remodeling it.

Here are a few tips on what you might do.

Utilize wall space

Walls provide valuable space for storage and decor. Install wall-mounted shelves, floating shelves, or bookcases to display items while freeing up floor space. 

Hang hooks or pegboards to store frequently used items such as keys, bags, or kitchen utensils.

Consider using wall-mounted organizers or bulletin boards to keep important notes, schedules, or reminders visible.

Utilize room dividers or curtains

If you desire more privacy or want to create defined spaces within a room, consider using room dividers or curtains. 

These can help create separate zones for different activities or provide privacy when needed while maintaining an open feel.

Rearrange furniture

Experiment with different furniture arrangements to maximize space and create flow. 

Consider removing unnecessary furniture pieces or replacing them with smaller, more versatile options.

Arrange furniture in a way that opens up pathways and allows for easy movement.

Incorporate mirrors

Mirrors not only enhance lighting but also create a sense of spaciousness.

Place mirrors strategically to reflect light and visually expand the room. 

Large mirrors can be placed opposite windows or in narrow hallways to create an illusion of depth.
