There are a lot of options available for expandable couches, Tea tables and also Dinning tables. Make use of the space available and do not occupy space with oversized furniture. Make use of all the Corners, L shaped couches and Corner tables compliment the corners of the house.

Wall Paint

Choose paint wisely. Light colors give a spacious look. Patterns can be done as per choice. If your are moving into the house you own, you can choose the design you wish using stencils available.

There are a lot of designs available like glow and magnet paint for kids and teen rooms. Wall Decals are an easy and economic way to design walls according to the person using it. And in course of time it is also easy to peel off the old one and replace it with a new decals.

Power plug points

Make sure there are enough number of power points in the house, especially in the kitchen. If not, manage to get  power point fixed in whichever place you will need immediately or in future. If there are points reachable for children, make sure they are properly child proofed.

Storage space

Lofts are of great use. Make sure there is adequate storage space available. And more important is these storage spaces have to be furnished to make the place look tidy and clutter free. You can have dressers modeled in wardrobes, long mirrors on doors. There are dressers available which have inbuilt storage space.

Install a rack above your sink to store your wet dishes so the water drops drain in the sink and does not mess your working area.

The space below the kitchen sink can be used to store cleaning materials and it is quite hidden that it cannot be accessed by kids and also pets. Make sure it is closed cabinet

Washroom

Make sure the floor of the bathroom is properly inclined towards the drain. Light colored flooring is the best for bathrooms. It looks bright and spacious and also projects dirt to make cleaning easier.
