The truth is that small apartments are pocket-friendly, comfy, and usually pretty adorable. But when you start your design journey, you feel stuck. You purchase a piece of art, a world map for living room, and a chandelier, but…something goes wrong, and you have no idea of how to arrange stuff to ensure there’s also a place for you. We’ll take a look at some simple tricks on how to decorate a small apartment and stay sane.
Let Mirrors Do Some Magic
This is a time-tested trick for those who need to make a small setting look bigger. Buy a large mirror and place it on one of the walls. It’ll reflect light and make your room look more airy, creating some depth in the interior. To add a stylish ambiance, pick mirrors with frames.
Add Plants
There’s no doubt that a mini-apartment needs more life, and greenery can do the job well. Purchase tasteful planters and hang them on the wall. At the same time, you can opt for wall-mounted shelves to display all of your greed buddies. They make the place colorful and boost the overall quality of air (excellent for freelancers working from home!).
Create an Accent Wall
By creating an accent wall in a place, you add a focal point to the setting without overwhelming the apartment. It should be only one wall that you will highlight using wallpaper, a piece of décor, a visual board, or any other element. This simple trick can add character to the dullest space and draw the attention of every guest.
Take Advantage of Vertical Space
Try to decorate your room vertically using things like vertical garden walls, bookshelves, or a range of stacked frames famous for making any setting look more expansive. Needless to say, this strategy helps you maximize storage and display more areas.
Use Rugs
The main aim of the process of decorating the tiny apartment is to make everyone see more than there really is. In other words, when you provide small rugs, you see a mini room. However, when you use large ones, they provide your guests with a feeling of being in an airy setting.
Mount Floating Shelves
One of the best ways to decorate a microscopic room and provide enough storage and display area is by incorporating floating shelves in the interior. Thus, you won’t take up the floor area but will have an opportunity to showcase your decorative items, plants, works of art, books, and other stuff that is dear to your heart. Make sure to position all the shelves at different heights to add a visual appeal to the environment.
Finally, we would strongly recommend you to get rid of stuff. One of the key advantages of living in a small apartment is that (like it or not!) you have to keep a particular number of items at home without overbuying. If you bring in loads of belongings, you will end up living in a kingdom of mess or facing the necessity to get rid of things you don’t really need.
