Maximising space and comfort in small apartments

With storage and a little consideration for scaling down, you can make the most out of your small apartment. If you have the right design, you can pack a lot of style in a small space. Here are a few ways to make your space look a bit bigger.

Keep it tidy

The first rule of living comfortably in a small space is to keep it clutter-free and make sure you keep it as tidy as possible. It is important to keep the things you love and use regularly in a small apartment. Do not be tempted to keep collecting new items you don’t have space for. Keeping your apartment free of clutter makes it organised and homely.

Pick dual furniture

You would be surprised at how many combinations you can create with the right pieces of furniture. When buying furniture for your small space, get furniture that folds out, folds up, and doubles as shelving. Make furniture pieces work harder in your small space.

Make use of the walls

Walls can be your storage best friend in a small apartment. Use your walls as hanging space. From floating shelves to mounted TVs, you can utilise your walls to make your space appear bigger. You can also make your space look bigger by adding plants to your decor, such as vines, by hanging them on your ceiling. This adds a touch of green to your home, making it more inviting.

Be sure to add mirrors

Mirrors can help you maximise your living area and make a smaller space look larger. They reflect light and open up any tiny area. Mirrors can be a great way to brighten up your apartment and are functional. Place your mirror where there is light, whether artificial or natural.

Good lighting

Good natural lighting may give the illusion that the room is big. If your apartment has good window space, consider adding a flow of natural light with blinds and shutters. Artificial light can be used to illuminate your small home. Keep your windproof as you want, as much light entering your space.
