Design ideas for small spaces!
Small apartments don't have to be boring, and we have proof of that.
The small apartment is perfect proof that miniature homes don't necessarily have to shy away from darker colors. In fact, although it is a rather dark base, the design of small homes should be cheerful and colorful, and many details will create a really playful mood. Wall shelves with colorful and modern books, a red sofa with a rounded shape, art in various sizes and themes - all this diversity together will look impressive and quite harmonious.
And that's where some lesser-known design and decoration ideas are hiding and they can help you maximize a small space. For starters, there's the reliance on vertical space. Utilizing empty walls by hanging shelves and cabinets frees up floor space, which will make your space appear larger. Another smart space-saving trick is to place wall lamps and sconces instead of table or freestanding lamps in bedrooms, bathrooms, workspaces, hallways and living rooms.

Built-in shelves can help you gain floor space while providing a place to store and organize items. If you are working with a small bedroom, mirrored wardrobe doors will perfectly open up the space, while in a small kitchen or living room, placing shelves up to the ceiling can create the optical illusion of higher ceilings.
There are a few little tricks that can help create the illusion of a bigger space. For example, mirrors placed in strategic locations can help reflect natural light and illuminate the space. When it comes to the floor, placing planks parallel to the longest wall can also visually extend the space and make it appear larger.
When choosing a floor, keep things as simple as possible. If you use wood, choose wood species with consistent color and subtle grain, and avoid excessive variations in color. This also applies to your choice of vinyl or laminate flooring.
And finally, all those who live in small homes know very well their limitations when it comes to choosing the perfect furniture and accompanying decor. Small apartments can quickly become overcrowded, and the best way to avoid this is to remove clutter and constantly organize the space, which will make things more functional but also more aesthetically appealing.
