The living room is often the largest area of a house, but many people use it exclusively as a family or TV room. To open up more space, try dividing your living room into multiple zones with their own unique designs. These quadrants can stand in for rooms that you don’t have enough space for, such as a dining room, playroom, or den.  To partition the area with dividers, purchase large curtains, tides, or free-standing walls and arrange them inside your living room. To create quadrants without using dividers, arrange objects in the room based on their specific function. For most people, a bedroom is a private area that doesn’t easily convert into a family or guest room. However, bedrooms are often the perfect location for a home office, personal den, or other private space. Converting your bedroom into a multi-purpose personal area will open up more rooms throughout your house without removing any privacy.  If necessary, divide the room into quadrants so you have distinct areas for sleeping, relaxing, doing work, and the like. For particularly small rooms, see if your furniture items can serve 2 or more purposes, such as using your bed as a sofa or office chair. Dining rooms make a lot of sense for people that entertain guests regularly. However, they’re a bit out of place in tiny homes that don’t get a lot of visitors. To open up an extra room for more important things, clear out your dining room and eat in the kitchen instead.
