Smart Living in a Small House A Rising Trend

Smart Living in a Small House- Rising Real Estate Trends
“Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it” Leonardo Da Vinci
That stands true and not only for minimalists but for every family who desires to have a cherishable life with less maintenance & decoration hassle to go through. Small houses exude simplicity and they are larger than life with so much cheerful ambience and classic appeal. The trend for 5 and 7 Marla homes have drastically increased and this interesting fact can be attributed to multiple reasons i.e. more economical option compared to 1 or 2 Kanal homes, family size, personal choice & preference, low maintenance costs & taxes. 
Small houses are a blessing with very little need for renovation & interior décor and regular repairing to undergo. Many housing societies offer 5 or 7 Marla homes and residential plots with standard facilities available in the near vicinity due to an increase in demand for small-scale houses.  Bahria Town Lahore, DHA Lahore, Etihad Town, Hamdan Society, Al-Kabir Town are just naming a few housing societies that offer small plot sizes and let’s not forget the incredible development of residential projects in Gwadar City.
Guidelines for living in a Small House
Small Houses may have less walls & fewer space but love grows best in little homes where the family gathers around in the small area to have a great bonding time.
Avoid unnecessary space because the home is small size, so plan the construction & architecture design of your home in a way that includes basic layout without many extra trimmings like twin guest rooms, corridors or two TV lounges. Make the best of provided space and avoid overcrowding the interior with a lot of furniture or decoration pieces like vases or stone sculptures or coffee tables/Bean sofas because they will eat up a substantial amount of space. Small houses must have open terrace or veranda with many small windows to keep the airflow in check. Don’t think of master bedrooms because in a 5 Marla home it is a luxury uncalled for, so build standard size rooms in the home with a small kitchen/washrooms and a tiny well-manicured lawn to give a warm welcome to outsiders.
Smart Storage is another essential feature to bear in mind when living in a small home. Don’t clutter rooms with unnecessary décor or furnishing. Be practical and become a minimalist, with less furniture to showcase in rooms and install racks and cupboards to hold your belongings. This will keep your stuff more organized.  
Small homes are easier to decorate and their interior decoration is what catches the eye. Use neutral summer tones for wall paints to give it a more seasonal touch! You can check out the latest home décor trends that are hitting high in 2018 on our official website. A quirky sense of decoration is needed in small homes by adding summer hue colour-pop with a statement sofa in bold colours, lightly tinted glass windows, sheer curtains in pastel shades and light-weight wall hangings & small terracotta flower pots on the balcony.
