Smart solutions for small spaces

Limited space has made apartments fashionable in India, offering a streamlined and 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 inviting. Here, we introduce some smart solutions that would be ideal for small apartment spaces.

keep it neutral
Fool yourself into thinking that the apartment is more spacious by adding calm, even tones. A cheerful color, like 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 witty
When space is limited, limit buying bulky new furniture, like cabinets and dressers that take up a lot of floor space. Buy just a few pieces of large-scale furniture to make interiors more grandiose. 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 in using all surface space, even a window sill, for décor, lighting and other essentials when there’s no room for an extra table.

opt for opening
Separate rooms with pocket doors that have glass windows that allow light to flow throughout the space while also creating separation. And even better, they slide right into the wall when not in use, taking up much less space than swinging doors.

Use the space on the walls
Mirrors on the walls make your space feel larger, lighter, and airier. And a convex mirror to give interiors a lot of personality. Mount your TV on the wall, as a media console is the biggest waste of space in a small living room. Use open and closed shelves installed on the walls to remove bookcases and storage furniture from the floor and place them on 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 of it 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 can be folded and are super compact so you can store them while the guests aren’t finished.
