With land availability becoming increasingly scarce in Perth, many homebuyers are turning to infill areas and smaller, narrow blocks. While this might sound limiting, a compact home doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the lifestyle and features you’ve always dreamed of.
At 101 Residential, our expert team of designers are masters at maximising space. Whether you’re envisioning three or four bedrooms, a stunning outdoor area, or a butler’s pantry or scullery, we can bring your vision to life – even on a smaller block.
Why a Compact Home Might Be the Perfect Fit
We all have busy lives. One of the biggest advantages of a compact home is the reduced maintenance. With less floor space to clean and maintain, you’ll spend less time on household chores and more time enjoying your home.
A smaller home often also means lower costs, not just for the build but also for furnishing, utilities and upkeep. With fewer rooms and less space to fill, you can focus on investing in high-quality standout furniture pieces that elevate your home’s design.
Living in a compact home doesn’t mean sacrificing style or convenience. In fact, smaller spaces can be tailored more closely to your lifestyle. That’s what our design team excel in, every inch of space is optimised for functionality and comfort. Whether you prioritise open plan living for family gatherings or prefer defined zones for work and relaxation, our designers can reflect your unique needs.
Narrow blocks are often located in well-established suburbs, close to city centres, beaches or desirable amenities. Choosing a narrow block allows you to live in a prime location without the hefty price tag associated with larger lots.
How to Make the Most of a Compact Home
- Opt for Multi-Functional Furniture: Think pieces that serve multiple purposes, like a sofa bed or an extendable dining table. These allow you to adapt your space based on your needs without cluttering your home.
- Open Up with Natural Light: Using glass doors and large windows can flood your home with natural light, making smaller spaces feel larger and more inviting.
- Custom Built-Ins: Built-in storage and furniture maximise functionality without taking up extra space. Consider built-in wardrobes, or a bench with hidden storage for a clutter-free look.
