Shared house

Here is how to furnish it

Although the Covid emergency is the main topic, we also need to talk about who continues to live in a shared house. Whether they are students, workers or business partners, it doesn’t matter. There are many issues associated with those who live in a shared home. How to manage spaces? How to make the most of the house’s potential? And again, how to personalise it, where possible? To answer all these questions, just read the next few lines. At Realigro, we have decided to help you in this enterprise that may seem titanic to you. But in reality, it only requires a bit of organisation. So, if you are also in a shared home situation, read this article!

Space under the bed

The shared home means only one thing: optimisation of the space available to us. In the bedroom, for example, which is usually a single bedroom, you can indulge yourself. On the basis of the permits granted in the rental contract, it is advisable to personalise your environment. But before taking this step, it is advisable to find the space to be used, to make a small room bigger. The first of all, is the one under the bed. Whether it is a bed with a wardrobe underneath, or a simple single bed, it doesn’t matter. In fact, it is possible to use this space as a shoe rack or to carry accessories such as bags and backpacks. Obviously by storing everything in special space-saving containers. Against every dust mite! And why not make everything even more personalised? If you have to put in some drawers or boxes, make sure they are aesthetically pleasing. And place them flush, so that they can be seen and give colour and character to the room.

Magnetic walls

A further problem is that of the walls. Not all rental agreements provide for the possibility of customising the walls. In terms of colours different from the pre-existing ones. Or even, in many contracts, there is a ban on sticking posters or shelves. Therefore, in order to avoid this, we recommend that you buy magnetic blackboards, so that you can create additional space. How ? By gluing magnets to baskets or calendars and photos. In this way you will recover space without altering the existing one. In addition, personalisation will be really simple, without any problems related to the rental contract.

Carpets and curtains

If you really don’t like the floor you have in your room, you can simply cover it. How? With a carpet that brings out your personality! In a shared home it is not always easy to feel comfortable. It is often assumed that you would need to revolutionise it in order to feel better. But a carpet can really do great things! Choose the colour you want and, why not, do the same with curtains. In a very short time and for little money, you will have revolutionised a shared home as you wish!
