In modern days, houses are becoming smaller and people get less
space to fulfil their choice of design for their house and
apartment. When you are living in a small house or apartment,
fitting in your favourite thing is very difficult. Trying to fit
everything and make it look gorgeous is a bigger challenge for
interior designers, but that makes small space design challenging
for a real interior designer.
Rongin Interior Solution has helped many families turn their compact
flats into homes that feel bigger than they actually are. Let’s look
at a few design ideas that can make your small house stand out.
Small houses and compact flats are common in Dhaka, especially in
areas like Bashundhara, Aftabnagar, and Uttara. The challenge is
that space feels tight, but daily needs keep growing. That’s where
smart interior design plays a big role. With the right layout,
colors, and furniture, even a small house can look stylish and
function well.
It’s not just about saving space—it’s about creating a home where
you actually feel comfortable. Let’s look at the
top 10 practical ideas that work for Bangladeshi homes.
1. Use light colors for a spacious feel
This is one of the oldest tricks, but it works every time. Light
shades like cream, white, pastel blue, or soft grey reflect natural
light, making a room look airy. Darker colors absorb light and
shrink the space. We’ve seen flats in Uttara transform just by
switching to a lighter wall color—suddenly the living room feels
twice as open. Pair light walls with simple curtains and you’ll
notice the difference right away.
2. Smart furniture choices
Not every flat can handle bulky furniture. That’s where
multi-purpose designs help. A bed with storage drawers, folding
dining tables, or wall-mounted desks saves plenty of space. At
Rongin Interior, we also provide custom furniture that fits
perfectly in tight apartments. Sometimes even a small tweak, like
swapping heavy chairs for sleek ones, changes the whole mood of the
house.
3. Open-plan living room layouts
Let’s be honest—partition walls make small homes feel even smaller.
By opening up the living and dining space, you allow more light and
movement. Families in Bashundhara often prefer this layout because
it creates a friendly, connected environment. Add a simple rug to
mark the living area, and you’ll have a clean, organized look
without unnecessary barriers.
4. Mirrors to add depth
A well-placed mirror is like adding another window. Large mirrors in
the dining or living space reflect light and make the area look more
spacious. In one Aftabnagar flat, we added a full-length mirror near
the dining area, and the space instantly looked double its size.
Mirrors also add elegance if you choose the right frame.
5. Maximize vertical space
When floor space is tight, think upwards. Tall cabinets,
wall-mounted shelves, or even overhead storage above doors can hold
items without eating into the room. This works especially well in
small bedrooms where every inch matters. Vertical storage keeps the
home tidy and reduces clutter.
6. Built-in storage solutions
Custom wardrobes and under-bed storage are lifesavers in small
houses. They keep things hidden but within reach. A built-in
wardrobe in a small bedroom frees up floor space for movement. At
Rongin Interior, we design these storage systems so they blend
seamlessly with the interior instead of looking bulky.
7. Creative lighting design
Lighting makes or breaks the mood of a room. Small houses benefit
from layered lighting—ceiling lights for brightness, task lights for
work, and accent lights for style. For example, a small living room
in Uttara looks warmer and more welcoming with a mix of ceiling
lights and wall-mounted lamps. It’s a detail many homeowners
overlook, but it changes everything.
8. Minimalist bedroom interiors
Bedrooms in small homes often feel crowded because of oversized
furniture or too many decorations. The key is to keep it simple. A
low-height bed, compact wardrobes, and light décor work best. Add a
few cushions or a pastel rug, and you’ll have a cozy space without
the clutter. This is where small bedroom interior design really pays
off.
9. Decorating small living rooms
A small living room doesn’t mean boring. You can play with
textures—like adding a jute rug, soft cushions, or a compact
L-shaped sofa. Keep the colors bright to maintain an open feel. At
Rongin Interior, we often mix practical furniture with stylish
accents to create a cozy living space that doesn’t feel boxed in.
10. Balcony & small corner utilization
Balconies and odd corners are often ignored, but they can be
valuable. In many Uttara apartments, we’ve turned small balconies
into mini gardens or reading nooks. Even a single chair and a plant
can transform the space. Corners inside the flat can hold
bookshelves, study tables, or decorative items. It’s about making
the most of what you already have.
Small homes, big possibilities
Honestly, you don’t need a large house to live in style. With smart
design, even a 600 sq ft flat can feel open and comfortable. The
main thing is to plan carefully—choose the right colors, furniture,
and layouts. Rongin Interior Solution specializes in small house interior
design ideas that match Bangladeshi lifestyles and budgets.
Light and neutral shades are always the best choice for small
houses. Colors like cream, beige, white, and pastel tones
reflect more light, which makes the rooms appear larger. In
Dhaka flats, where windows are often small and natural light
is limited, light colors balance the space beautifully.
Pairing them with simple furniture and light curtains ensures
the home doesn’t feel cramped.
It depends on the size of the flat and the design
requirements. Basic makeovers are more affordable, while
custom furniture and premium finishes add to the cost.
Beds with storage, wall-mounted shelves, and sliding wardrobes
work best in small bedrooms.
Yes, choose compact furniture, light colors, and minimal
décor. A rug and a few cushions add comfort without
overwhelming the space.
