4 Furnishing Ideas to Enhance Small Rooms with Sliding Doors and More!!
Furnishing small rooms can be quite a challenge. Choosing the right furniture and the most suitable furnishing solutions is already a long and complex process, which becomes even more complicated when space becomes a primary factor. However, with some adjustments, it is possible to make the most of even these situations.
Do Italians live in small houses?
According to research published by TrueNumbers, the average size of a house in Italy is about 117 square meters. However, this figure drops to 67 square meters when considering the space available per individual resident, and it generally varies from region to region.
Having a house that isn't very large, therefore, is quite common. In these cases, compromises are often made, sacrificing aesthetics or functionality. However, a small size doesn't necessarily mean sacrifices. There are numerous high-quality furnishing solutions designed for small spaces.
Flush-Mount Wardrobes: Capacity and Elegance in Small Spaces
If you have a small bedroom but still want a well-stocked wardrobe, you can install a flush-mount wardrobe. This option combines aesthetic appeal and practicality.
Visually, the wardrobe doors can be decorated in various ways. The color itself can be matched to the wall color, creating a uniform furnishing solution that ensures a sense of harmony.
Practically, the flush-mount wardrobe can be installed on plasterable or drywall walls. Its sturdy aluminum structure also ensures durability and stability over time.
Sliding Doors: Defining Spaces Without Obstacles
We have already discussed the strengths of sliding doors. This furnishing solution is perfect for small rooms because it eliminates the possible obstacle caused by the door leaf's movement.
Sliding doors or pocket doors also come in a wide variety of models and styles, and use very different materials. Alternatives in wood and glass are available, with external or pocket leaves.
Sliding doors excel in situations where it is necessary to define spaces without giving up the possibility of having connected rooms.
Pivot Doors: Flexibility and Discretion for Every Environment
Pivot doors are a particularly original and flexible furnishing solution, suitable for small rooms. Their use is recommended both in domestic and professional environments. Vertical pivot doors, for example, can blend perfectly with the surrounding environment. They can be applied on existing floors, plasterable or drywall walls, making them a valid and customizable option.
This type of door can be easily painted to match the rest of the room. The magnetic lock and vertical pivot hinges also save even more space.
Pivot doors can also be integrated with a bookshelf. This way, you can create actual secret passages and limit access to a specific area of the house.

Cover-Old Skirting Boards: The Furnishing Solution to Cover Exposed Wires and Cables
In addition to furnishing solutions such as doors and wardrobes, equally important elements like cover-old skirting boards should be considered. When renovations use pre-finished parquet to be laid on the existing floor, there is a dilemma whether to remove the old skirting board or leave it. Using flush-mount skirting boards allows you to cover the old skirting board without incurring the costs of dismantling and possible patching or repainting.
Flush-mount skirting boards serve the important function of covering cables, wires, and secondary elements that have a negative aesthetic impact. Their structure is particularly compact, with a thickness that in most cases is around 1.2 cm.

Additionally, the LED solution allows the installation of step-marker LEDs in the skirting board, an innovative and impactful solution. |
Modern skirting boards are also made of water-resistant material, making them capable of withstanding infiltration, mold, and wear. They can be installed on resin, laminate, and ceramic floors.
