Whether you reside in a cozy apartment or a spacious residence, the art of interior design lies in optimizing space and style to create a harmonious and functional living environment. At Mackenzie Collier Interiors, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by homes of all sizes.

In this blog, we offer creative solutions that cater to the diverse needs of various living spaces, ensuring that every square foot reflects your personal style while maximizing functionality.

Embrace Multifunctional Furniture

In small spaces, multifunctional furniture is a game-changer. Invest in pieces like sofa beds, fold-out desks, and storage ottomans to make the most of every nook and cranny. Make sure that furniture will grow with you and your family over time.

Smart Storage Solutions

Maximize storage capacity by utilizing clever storage solutions. Incorporate built-in shelves, wall-mounted units, and under-bed storage to keep your space organized and clutter-free. Nothing makes a space feel un-designed like clutter. It’s critical to stay on top of it.

Open Concept Design

For smaller spaces, open concept design creates an illusion of more space and enhances the flow of natural light. Removing unnecessary walls can open up your home, making it feel more spacious and inviting.

Mirror Magic

Strategically placed mirrors can work wonders in smaller spaces. They reflect light and create an illusion of depth, visually expanding the area and adding a touch of elegance. Don’t forget, white wall paint is a mirror’s best friend when it comes to maximizing and clarifying light. 

Scale and Proportion

In larger homes, scale and proportion are key to maintaining a sense of balance. Choose furniture and decor that complements the size of the room, creating a harmonious and visually pleasing environment. Our advice - we typically suggest clients go as large in scale as the room can handle. 

Create Zones

Divide larger spaces into functional zones to give each area a distinct purpose. Use rugs, furniture arrangements, and lighting to define different zones, creating a cohesive and well-organized layout.

The Power of Color

Color plays a crucial role in space perception. Lighter shades can make a small room feel more open, while darker hues add warmth and intimacy to larger spaces.

Utilize Vertical Space

Incorporate vertical elements to maximize space in both small and large homes. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, hanging planters, and tall cabinets utilize vertical space efficiently.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Connect your indoor spaces with outdoor areas through thoughtful design. Sliding glass doors, patio furniture, and greenery create a seamless transition, expanding your living space.

Every home is unique, and customizing solutions ensures that your space is tailored to your specific needs and style. Work with an interior designer to craft personalized design elements that make your home truly one-of-a-kind.
