Living in a small luxurious apartment is a dreamy concept for some people, but for others, it is more of a reality. A small apartment has its merits and demerits. Moving into a smaller house means simplifying your life, which is both an advantage as well as a disadvantage. Decorating a small space can be tricky; therefore, one needs to be extra cautious.
Following are a few hacks that can help you decorate your small apartment like a pro. Read on to know more:
- Choose a Lighter Color Palette
Considering the color psychology, lighter shades have the ability to make any space appear more spacious. Starting with the wall paint, choose a color like off white, baby pink, powder blue or any other light color that can visually expand the area. Such colors can create an illusion of a bigger space and make the room brighter and glowy.
- Go Vertical
Think about everything vertically. Unfortunately, your space is small, so you need to figure out a way to make it perform every task you demand your new place smartly. Using vertical space can help you accomplish all that. Create vertical shelves from the floor to the ceiling; make sure the storage is also vertical; it is something that will significantly add to the spaciousness of your apartment.
- Keep the Kitchen Open
An open kitchen attached to the living area can make all the difference. Too many walls and separations can make your space appear more congested. Therefore, remove the wall between the kitchen and living room and make it an open kitchen. To separate the area, you can add a mini breakfast table in-between.
Also, make sure there are limited appliances in the kitchen, and it is not overloaded. Invest in a multi-purpose gas grill, a double door fridge, a mini water dispenser and things that are necessary rather than a luxury.
- Be Sensible With the Furniture
Oversized furniture can dwarf your apartment and make it appear even smaller than its actual size. Hence, you need to choose furniture sensibly. Make smart choices, keep the furniture light and comfy, for example, you can get a set of armless sofas, a foldable iron stand, a murphy bed, and more.
It is no secret that a bed consumes most of the space in a bedroom, and it is hard to make it smaller, this is where a murphy bed comes in. It can be a lifesaver in a small bedroom, where you can fold it into the wall when it’s not in use.
- Layer It Up
Smaller spaces often lack depth and thankfully, it is something that can be fixed, layer it up. Have a little fun with the floor, add a small sized rug in the middle of the room, and throw some cushions on the bed and the couch to add the missing touch of warmth. Remember that layering is all about adding contrast, so make sure not just to pile one thing on top of another, but take care of the textures, fabrics, and patterns as well.
All these ideas mentioned above can save your space from appearing cramped and confined. Also, these are mini changes, and they won’t break the bank for you. Let us know if it helped you out! Have a wonderful day!
