In large cities, you often encounter small apartments. While this may not be your ideal, for now it's all you can afford. Don't worry! You can turn this into an advantage by putting a few basic decorating ideas for a small space into practice.
Unlike other spaces, in the case of a small apartment you need storage for all the things that accumulate over time. In addition, you want all your belongings to be organized and tidy without giving the impression of clutter and being cramped. Therefore, it's good to adopt a minimalist style in decorating and use neutral, light colors that amplify the space.
Combinations of wood with white are recommended options. White opens up the space and makes it appear larger, while wood beautifies through its naturalness and warmth. Consider the shapes of furniture pieces as well. Not all need to be straight and sharp. Think about rounded shapes and the pleasant impact they have.
Returning to colors. A neutral base is recommended, being the safest option that you can't go wrong with. No matter how narrow and small it is, white, cream, and pale pastels are the ones that sweeten a decor, pampering it with light. Contrary to a common belief, white is not cold.
On the contrary, it allows for the insertion of color accents from the boldest ones: yellow, red, blue, or even black, thus energizing an environment, however spatially limited.
Mirrors are our trusty helpers when decorating a small space. Therefore, use mirrors with confidence, or even several. You can decorate a wall, such as the one with the sofa, with a few smaller mirrors, having different frames. This will give depth to the composition. If this idea doesn't appeal to you, try using smaller paintings or even framed photographs.
