15 Interior Decorating Tips for Small Apartments

You’ve finally moved out of your family home and got yourself your own small apartment, go you! But now it’s time to move in and make it your own. So, how to design the interior and make it your own home? Here’s 15 interior decorating tips for small apartments:

1. Keep it Simplistic

Whatever you do, keep it simple. A small apartment doesn’t need over complicated decoration or styling, it will just make it look its size… and cluttered.

Get The Look:

2. Paint

Make sure you use bright colours, it opens up the small space and makes the room look bigger and brighter. Dark colours make space look small.

Get The Look:

3. Wallpaper

Wallpaper is great for an apartment for a feature wall or just a hint of decoration, yet again keep the patterns simple and light. You don’t want to have too much going on in the designs.

Get The Look:

4. Lighting

Lights, lights, lights! Lighting is important in order to provide the visual illusion that the space is bigger than what it actually is. Even the use of tea light candles adds a nice little touch to the decoration and provides illumination.

Get The Look:

5. Clutter Free

Keep the apartment free of clutter and trivial items, small space gathers clutter very quickly. It helps to have wall units and shelving, by keeping the floor space empty you allow the room to continue to look and feel spacious.

Get The Look:

6. Artwork

Keep artwork around the apartment, bright!

Get The Look:

7. Pictures

Have a few family pictures around the apartment but don’t overdo it

Get The Look:

8. Flooring

Make use of the floor space, have a light coloured rug on the floor

Get The Look:

9. Ceiling

Keep the ceiling free of any oversized lampshades as they clutter the ceiling space

10. Cupboards

Refrain from having too many cupboards and if you do have a cupboard make sure it is a small unit, try to make use of having more wall shelving units rather than floor cupboards.

Get The Look:

11. Curtains

Keep the curtains bright also as a feature on the wall, the curtains draw the attention in a room and make all the difference. Keep curtains at window length also, don’t use drapes as they will yet again contribute to the room looking small.

12. Mirrors

Mirrors reflect the available light and provide the illusion of space

Get The Look:

13. Living Room Space

Keep the living room space as minimalistic as possible, you can be adventurous with the colour of cushions in order to provide a splash of colour to your canvas

Get The Look:

14. Bathroom Space

Bright tiles and make use of the colour white, down to the very last bathroom mat. It will enhance the look and size of your bathroom, however don’t overdo it – white is a cold colour and too much of it will make you feel just that, cold!

Get The Look:

15. Kitchen Space

A small spaced kitchen requires less items on the counter surface and more up on wall pegs or small wall shelves. Kitchens have cupboards, so make use of them! This is one of the best interior decorating tips for small apartments!
