Small but cozy apartments are becoming the norm in the city. A single room serves as living, dining, and kitchen all day long. But with the right design thinking, even a small space can be made open, useful, and beautiful.
Prioritize furniture
Use a sofa-cum-bed, nesting coffee table or extendable dining table. Multitasking with one item saves space.
Use vertical space
Use a tall safe, full-height cabinet or wall panel with hidden storage that doesn't cover the floor. This makes the room look bigger.
Think about color
Light colors, soft neutral tones, pale wood and soft textures make the home look open and calm.
Use smart doors
Where possible, using sliding doors instead of doors is very useful in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
Put a mirror
Placing a mirror on the wardrobe shutter or wall reflects light and makes the room look deeper and larger.
Incorporating built-in storage
Drawers under the window seat, under-bed storage, and wall-to-wall wardrobes make the most of the space.
Paying attention to the decor
Opting for a bold piece of artwork, a statement light, or a unique chair over lots of small decorations. The home looks clean and inviting.
Making use of corners
Setting up a reading corner, small workstation, or mini bar in an empty corner.
Investing in smart lighting
Cove lighting provides soft light, wall sconces save space, and slim floor lamps make the home feel light.
