Townhomes are a popular choice for those who are starting a family or downsizing to a smaller property after the kids are grown up. They’re more affordable, and the more manageable space requires less upkeep and maintenance. Just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean you can’t create a beautiful and functional interior design, however. Here’s how to maximize your decor with a few key steps.

5 Interior Design Tips for Townhomes

1. Create a Dining Nook

Even if your new home doesn’t have a dedicated dining room, there’s no need to eat every meal in front of the TV. Create a small space near the kitchen that’s used solely for enjoying meals.

Lay down a rug and place a petite table on it, then hang a chandelier above the furniture. This makes the nook feel like its own space that’s separate from the rest of the living room.

2. Make the Most of Walls

If you want the space to feel like home without overcrowding it, use the walls wisely. You can decorate them in fun ways, such as hanging a tapestry, adding removable wall graphics, or creating a photo wall that puts your happy memories on display. If you’re placing shelves along the walls, mix books and videos with knickknacks and other cherished belongings for an eye-catching blend of storage and decoration.

3. Get Creative With Storage

Storage solutions should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Add an ottoman in the living room for relaxing as well as holding extra pillows and blankets.

Wicker baskets look amazing and can also hold various items. Mason jars or glass canisters can be used for cooking supplies while adding a dash of life to the kitchen.

4. Add Plants

Keeping living plants in the home improves the indoor air quality and helps balance humidity and oxygen levels. It’s also a beautiful way to bring the outside into your home.

Arrange plants throughout every room to add splashes of color and nature to your design scheme. If you don’t want to worry about watering the plants regularly, purchase succulents or even artificial plants to achieve the desired aesthetic without the maintenance

5. Use Smart Lighting

In rooms that lack large windows, the amount of natural light that gets inside may not be ideal. Fortunately, creative lighting solutions will help create a bright, airy aesthetic.

Use a combination of overhead lights, task lighting, and lamps to illuminate each space beautifully according to the room’s function. You can also use mirrors throughout the interior to reflect light and create a sense of expanded space.
