Apartments typically have small rooms. But they can be made neat, cozy and convenient by incorporating some basic design principles, without spending much.
Have a look.
1. Go for a Queen-size bed
A bed occupies maximum space in a room. For a small room, a King-size bed may not be a great idea, so opt for a Queen-size bed, which is quite spacious and occupies a smaller place.
2. Murphy or transformable bed
These beds are most convenient for apartments. They are designed in a way that they can be hinged at one end to fit vertically on the wall. You can think of getting one designed for your room.
3. Built-in furniture
Built-in shelves, cabinets, and desks can provide storage and functionality without taking up too much floor space.
4. Storage-bed
They are extremely convenient and a lot many things can go inside the bed, thus helping declutter the room.
5. Wall-shelves
Wall shelves keep the floor free and can be an excellent option for storage
6. Choose the right colour and material
Heavy teak wood and furniture with carvings are not meant for small rooms. Go for lighter materials like plywood or wrought iron to make your furniture. Always go for lighter colours for a sense of space.
7. Make use of mirrors
Large mirrors on wall give a sense of space, so have one opposite a window or door.
8. Do not overcrowd
You don’t need to keep and display every piece of home decor that you get as a gift. Keep the room light and decluttered.
9. Curtains
Keep away from heavy blinds and use curtains light colour and fabric.
10. Use light
Brightness makes a room look large. So use different types of lights in your room to illuminate it.
