Do you feel bad that you don’t have a large apartment? Well, there’s nothing wrong with a small apartment either. Small spaces are easier to decorate, clean, and organise than larger ones.
But you may feel confused about how to decorate the space and if there was any way to feel less cramped. Check out these easy tricks will help you make a tiny space appear larger without breaking the bank.
- Declutter & open the way
There’s nothing like having too many things to make a tiny area feel even smaller. Things will feel ordered and open in the space that is visible if they are nicely arranged and out of sight.
A room will appear tight if furniture and accessories restrict the view into it. You may open up the area and make it feel larger by shifting furniture away from paths. Choose small pieces of furniture, such as an ottoman or a low table, and arrange large, towering pieces against a wall rather than in an open space. The room will appear larger if you can see the floor.
Paint your home with edgy colours and add interest to your walls easily.
- Choose light and soft shades for the walls
Light, cold colours make a space feel open and airy, whereas dark, warm hues make it feel snug and intimate. Choose gentle blue and green tones for the best effect. Dark green and magenta may feel too strong and suffocating in a small space. You can also try pastel shades for the living rooms and bedrooms to feel absolutely airy and make the space look larger.
- Keep your colour palette neutral
Use tone-on-tone woven upholstery fabrics, textured wall treatments, and tonal drapery fabrics to keep the colours in the same family. On most surfaces, cool colours and delicate warm colours offer a tiny room a more open appearance. Contrasting colours tend to break up a space and make it appear smaller than it actually is. Furniture that matches the wall colour is less jarring and blends in better, providing the impression of a larger space.

- Add the right textures
Anything beyond will appear farther distant if you use see-through materials. In a small bathroom, for example, replace an opaque glass shower surround with a clear, frameless one. Although the room is the same size, it will appear to be larger.
On a wall, hang a giant framed mirror or lean an oversized framed mirror against it. You’ll achieve the same room-enlarging effect as a mirrored wall but in a more stylish manner. The room and light will be reflected, giving the impression of increased openness.
Apart from these tips, use a few large, straightforward pieces of furniture or accessories instead of a lot of small ones, which can make a small area appear cluttered. The area will appear more tranquil and pleasant with wide space and large blocks of colour. Keep your upholstery plain and use sheer curtains to allow more light to fill your space. With these smart ways, you will never feel the need of a larger apartment again!
