Maximize Smaller Spaces

Posted by theresadonley 01/08/2019

Using Technology to Max Out Your Small Space

While the housing market trend in the U.S. has been slowing down, Cody Enterprise reports that real estate in Cody remains robust and stronger than ever. Indeed, Cody is one of the best kept secrets in Wyoming. If you’re looking to move from the big city or simply want a quieter life in nature with plenty of fishing and hunting, Cody is one of the best options. As Cody’s real estate is improving, there are plenty of housing options from new builds to farms, ranches, rentals and more. Whatever your choice, there are plenty of ways to maximize the space that you have to make your house a home.

Use Space Wisely

Not all homes are made like the historic Smith Mansion in Wapiti, which recently made its way onto the Cody real estate market. Sometimes, purchasing a home in a new area means there are improvements that need to be made, and there may be limited space. If you’ve got limited space, consider the smart home option. Choosing smarter options for your home will make a great impact despite the size and space you’re dealing with. Smart spaces and home automation allow you to use your home in a smart and efficient manner. Home automation technologies such as automated heating and cleaning systems can also enhance your living space while making your life simpler. It can create more layers and space in a room that is small and lacking utility.

Small Home, Smart Choice

A small space with the right technology and appliances won’t feel like a tight space at all. Think about the space and how you want to use it. Can you knock down a wall and make living room flow together for an open space or use paint to create the illusion of more space? In the living room, consider making your television screen both a piece of art and functional TV screen. Or, incorporate a drop-down TV screen to save on space.The kitchen is also an important room to consider kitting out with the latest in tech and appliances if you have limited space. Consider larger appliances, such as ovens and refrigerators. Do you actually need them? Do you bake a lot? Cook a lot? If not, a smaller fridge will do the trick, as will a and micro-oven combo and airfryer. Using smaller appliances will save space and money.

Modular Solutions

Another easy way to start making your home a smart home is with modifications that are modular. In other words, modular solutions begin with sections and build from there. If you’re short on space, find inspiration in tiny homes, such as intriguing micro-home with innovative features like voice activated technology and smart devices that communicate with each other. Purchasing land lots in Cody is also an option, so you can start from scratch.

Featuring technology in every corner, micro-homes and smart homes utilize the space to make everything sync up - from lighting to security and voice activation. Small house also typically make rooms multipurpose (less walls) have clever storage solutions such as floor to ceiling bookcases and furniture that doubles as storage. The technology is tethered together in a way that makes the overall budget on the equipment much more cost-efficient than it would be to purchase separate pieces altogether.

Whatever you choose for your home, building a smart home is a great choice to make your home more efficient and space-saving. With technology these days, the possibilities are endless to make the most of your space.
