Limited space has made apartments all the rage in India, offering a stripped-down, minimalist approach. The micro lifestyle has captivated the minds of millennials, with creative solutions that transform small spaces and make it possible to live large while living small. Maximize space to make your apartment feel spacious and welcoming. Here, we present some smart solutions that would be ideal for small spaces in apartments.
keep it neutral
Fool yourself into thinking that the apartment is more spacious by adding calm, even tones. A cheerful color, such as pale turquoise, is a good idea to create a cheerful atmosphere in a small room. Be sure to add a variety of textures to keep the apartment interesting.
be resourceful
When space is limited, limit the purchase of bulky new furniture, such as cabinets and dressers that take up a lot of floor space. Buy just a few large-scale furniture pieces to make interiors grander. Don’t stack all your furniture against the walls because the space behind the furniture makes the room look wider than it is. Be resourceful about using all of your surface space, even a window sill, for decor, lighting, and other essentials when there isn’t room for an extra table.
opt for openness
Separate rooms with pocket doors that have glass windows that allow light to flow throughout the space while creating separation. And even better, they slide right into the wall when not in use, taking up much less space than swing doors.
Use the space on the walls
Mirrors on the walls make your space feel bigger, lighter, and airier. And a convex mirror to give a lot of personality to the interiors. Mount your TV on the wall, as a media console is the biggest waste of space in a small living room. Use wall-mounted open and closed shelving to move bookcases and storage furniture off the floor and onto the walls. Another option is to go for a wall-mounted desk, as it takes up much less space, and you can even mount shelves on top for even more storage space.
Multipurpose Furniture
Opt for furniture that can serve multiple purposes. Find a table that can double as a desk and dining table, buy a deep sofa that can double as a guest bed, or buy cubes that double as a coffee table and extra seating when guests are done. Buy extra seats that fold up and are super compact so you can stow them away while the guests aren’t done.
