Living in a densely populated city like Hong Kong, it can be quite challenging to have an ideal living space. In a small 500-square-foot home, striking a balance between functionality and style becomes a true test for interior designers. In this case, Designpedia has selected 5 different styles of small home designs, showcasing design techniques that are worth considering and potentially implementing in your own small home. Let’s explore these designs and see if they can be utilized in your cozy abode!




1.


家庫 Designpedia-The-Hermitage-帝峰.皇殿


Even though this unit is only a little over 400 square feet, the designer has made perfect use of the high ceiling to create a duplex design, effectively doubling the living space. The upper level houses the bedroom, providing the homeowner with increased privacy. By utilizing a combination of white and light wood grain, the minimalist design imbues the home with a serene and comfortable atmosphere while visually creating a sense of spaciousness.

This small home combines modern and industrial styles, skillfully incorporating different textures to create a rugged yet comfortable effect. The semi-open design reduces the feeling of confinement and allows for more flexible use of space. The combination of wooden and concrete walls, along with vibrant leather furnishings, adds a lively touch to the industrial aesthetic.

家庫 Designpedia-Tai-Koo-Shing-太古城


In this cozy and casual Scandinavian-style home, the designer has utilized built-in wall cabinets to create additional storage space, ensuring that even a small dwelling can be well-organized. The combination of light wood grain and gray tones creates a soft and rustic ambiance, allowing the homeowner to instantly unwind from the pressures of the day.

家庫-Designpedia-Yick-Ga-Building-益基大廈


If concerns arise about the lack of privacy in an open-plan design, using glass partitions can be an excellent choice to balance the sense of space and practicality. In a color scheme that contrasts black and white, the designer has cleverly incorporated tinted glass accents to soften the sharpness typically associated with mirrors. Additionally, utilizing the floor platform is a great way to create storage space and extend the functionality of the sleeping area.

家庫-Designpedia-Hollywood-Terrace-A-荷李活華庭


When it comes to maximizing every inch of space, this home design is a prime example! The commonly seen window sill in Hong Kong-style units has been transformed into a cozy space that serves both as a storage area and a spot for reading by the window. Additionally, a rotating shoe cabinet becomes a cherished item for many women, effectively doubling the storage capacity and conveniently displaying their entire shoe collection.
