7 Space-Saving Ideas for Small Apartment Designs
Small apartments can be sensational with the right decor choices. Here are 7 ways to turn your space beautiful yet well-planned:
1. Multi-functional Furniture
Choose furniture that serves multiple purposes. For instance, a sofa that doubles as a cozy resting space adds extra utility.
Similarly, you can use ottomans, coffee tables, and beds with storage. These reduce visual clutter and help maintain an organised space.
2. Smart Storage
Smart storage options such as floating shelves, built-in cabinets, and drawers can be beyond utility. For instance, you can create a dynamic gallery wall using open shelving to add aesthetic appeal.
On the other hand, cabinets and drawers can fill empty wall areas effortlessly. You can also install under-bed storage for an uncluttered space.
3. Wall-Mounted Desks
Wall-mounted desks are a game-changer for compact spaces. Similarly, fold-down tables can be folded when not in use. They allow the room to serve multiple functions, adding a minimalist twist.
4. Glass Sliders & Dividers
Glass dividers maintain a visual connection between rooms. In small apartments, they make rooms appear in a flow yet distinct from each other.
You can choose any type of glass, such as clear or frosted, for different spaces. Include architectural details such as clean lines for an urban look.
Neutral and pastel colours reflect light, creating an illusion of more space. By sticking to this colour palette for your walls and furniture, you can make your small apartment feel open and spacious.
Create visual interest with a contrasting colour for your accent pieces. For instance, you can pair navy blue throw pillows with a beige sofa.
To avoid a flat look, introduce contrast through accent pieces. For example, navy blue throw pillows on a beige sofa can bring in depth and balance while maintaining harmony in the design.
6. Layer the Lights
In compact spaces, every inch matters. Choose wall-mounted fixtures such as wall sconces to brighten the room. Such lights also create an illusion of higher ceilings. Hence, making the room feel spacious.
Pendant lights can be the statement of your room. Include small spotlights to highlight architectural details. You can also add accent lights near mirrors to amplify light in the room.
7. Vertical Garden
A touch of plants can bring life into your apartment. Hang plants or wall-mount them to create a vertical garden. This adds visual interest, making it a great idea for accent walls.
You can also install a wooden bookshelf and hang plants on the sides. If you’re new to plant care, choose low-maintenance options such as snake plants, pothos, and cacti.
Create Your Dream Apartment
Small apartments are homes too. However small or big your space is, it can be beautiful too. All that it takes is a creative plan and an effort to align the decor.
Instead of settling for cramped living, consider how design can transform your home into your dream home. Whether you are starting from scratch or doing a refresh, thoughtful styling goes a long way.
