Closet Space vs. Room Size
The first quick tip in this mini-series of 10 Must-Know Interior Design Tips for a Stylish Modern Farmhouse Home is weighing the pros and cons of closet space vs. room size.
When considering the design of your modern farmhouse home, it’s important to weigh these two options for all cases, but especially the small to mid-size square footage homes.
While ample closet space is essential for organization and storage, it’s also crucial to ensure that rooms are not sacrificed in size to accommodate larger closets. If you do this, you’ll feel cramped because the room size is smaller.
Striking the right balance between closet space and room size will ultimately contribute to the overall functionality and aesthetic appeal of your modern farmhouse home.
The big questions you need to ask yourself are:
What type of items do you plan on storing?
Will the current closet space vs. room size accommodate all seasons of life (e.g. you plan on having kids and need extra space to store toys in the living room)
Will excess closet space make the home feel smaller, and does that matter to you?
Do you have unique items that require a special type of storage (for example, the items are large like a guitar case)
You need to look at the design of your home as an extension of your lifestyle. This also applies to the people renovating, because although you are bound to the current footprint, there are many updates you can do to change how the room flows.
So the quick tip: Think about your current lifestyle, needs, and wants and how that reflects into adequate storage space.
