If you are preparing to renovate and live in a small apartment, this article will help you make the right choices for a successful interior design.
Opening GalleryIt is important how you approach the redecoration project. Inappropriate colors, bulky furniture, too many pieces brought together without a common denominator, inefficient lighting are just some of the most common mistakes in the small spaces of our apartments. Uninspired choices affect us in the long run.
Here's what we can do to manage the arrangement of a small space.
The smaller your apartment is, the more you need to adapt to the living space. No matter how much you would like a four-poster bed or classic bulky furniture, they will suffocate your home. Therefore, you need furnishing solutions tailored to your needs and adapted to the space. Get inspired by Scandinavian interiors, for example, or those treated as minimally as possible.
Choose your color palette carefully! We know that white seems monotonous to many of you, but it is the most effective trick to amplify a small space. In addition, in specialized stores, you will find many variations of white, up to cream or a discreet pastel. Any of these neutral shades can be a perfect base for your arrangement.
You can then add accent colors in the form of accessories or decorations.
Use stripes! Vertical ones will make the space appear taller, while horizontal ones will widen a narrow room. You will find several models in this regard in the photo gallery. An interesting effect can be obtained with an accent area or accent wall; you can use wallpaper with a discreet pattern or a modest print to distract the eye from the dimensions of a room.
A well-chosen photo wallpaper can have a similar effect (see gallery).
And with the help of a floor, you will be able to create the illusion of more space. A tone-on-tone approach, natural wood essences, colors that complement the shades you have used for the walls are among the recommendations for a small space.
Integrate mirrors! With their help, you will be able to give the illusion of a larger space, with added depth. They can be placed where they reflect natural light, on a wall opposite the window or a nearby wall. Mirrors on wardrobe doors or a dressing room, whether in the bedroom or hallway are handy and effective solutions.
Shiny surfaces work just as well, increasing the brightness of a room.
