Give a more spacious feel to your apartment with these innovative ideas…
Effectively Use The Height. Most apartments do not put the benefits of wall heights to optimal use. Make the storage ceiling-height. Do not make cabinets with open shelves. Keep the paint finish on the cabinets close to the wall colour.
Avoid Clutter. In a small living space, the one thing you cannot afford is clutter. Keep things stacked away in storage areas. Keep the lines clean and the décor simple. Arrange books, mails and magazines in one place.
Add Colour With Accessories. Use cushions, lamps, paintings, rugs and artifacts, which will not only look creative but will focus attention on anything but the size of your room. One wall in a bright paint finish will make a place look large if everything else is in a monotone. A bright carpet of reasonable size also works best. Use multiple photo-frames on a single wall with a focus light, instead of having them lying all over the place.
Curtains and Drapes. Use sheers for drapes wherever possible, and blinds instead of curtains. Go in for cheap fabrics if you must save on cost, but stick to ivory and use a bright border to create warmth. Use plain linen in white or pastels with a plain bedcover in a bright colour, for your bedroom. For kids’ room get cardboard boxes in different colours and stack them one on top of the other, at angles. Looks funky and keeps their stuff stored.
TV Room Essentials. Get a cabinet that fits all the gadgets in. Use a long straight-line sofa in a bright colour and remove every other colour from the room. Keep a folding table, or a center table, but no other furniture.
Walls And Windows. The ceiling can offer lots of possibilities. Mould detailing on POP and corners will pull up the line of vision, and make a room look a lot larger than it actually is. Varying ceiling heights in different areas is an effective way of breaking space visually. Full-length windows with lots of light streaming in will flood a small apartment with the illusion of space. An open kitchen makes a place look bigger and if you have a chimney fitted you won’t have to worry about the smell floating around the house.
So work up your way to design your own interiors for a more spacious look.
