Creative and Inspiring Design Ideas for Small Apartments
The interior of any small apartment should be carefully furnished and decorated in a way that you can fit everything you need into the space without it feeling crowded and cramped. Here are several golden rules to consider when designing your small apartment:
- Look at your daily routine and decide what things you really need. Pay particular attention to storage space, such as drawers, cabinets, shelves, etc. and try to use it just for the items you use daily.
- Maximize the utilization of your vertical space. Use furniture (kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, etc.) that extend all the way to the ceiling. Wall-mounted floating shelves are another smart way to use vertical space. Choose furniture that is sleek, stackable, easy to move and lightweight. Built-in wall-mounted beds are another smart solution for small apartments.
- Choose furniture pieces that have multiple uses, such as coffee tables and benches with storage space or wooden chairs and stools that can also act as bedside tables or flower tables. Sofa beds and futons are other smart solutions.
- Glass and transparent furniture like ghost chairs and glass-topped dining tables, wall-mounted mirrors and painting the walls in light colors give the illusion of a larger space. A large carpet or rug also makes the space feel larger and more cohesive.
