Small Apartment Decor: Smart Tricks to Make Space Feel Bigger
A small space does not mean giving up on style. With the right plan, small apartment decor can feel more spacious than larger homes. Here are the tricks GSC designers use to enlarge space visually and practically.
Colors That Make Small Apartment Decor Feel Bigger
Light, neutral colors reflect light and open up the space; add a darker shade on one wall only for depth.
Multi-Use Furniture
- Sofa beds.
- Folding tables.
- Beds with storage drawers.
- Desks built into wardrobes.
Smart Storage
Use walls with floating shelves and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and the space under stairs or above doors.
Lighting and Mirrors
Hidden ceiling lighting and large mirrors double the sense of space; avoid oversized chandeliers on low ceilings.
Open Layouts
Opening the kitchen to the reception or using glass partitions instead of walls makes a small home feel much larger.
