18 BEST TIPS FOR SMALL APARTMENT

Living in a small apartment can be one of the most stressful things in the world, trust me been here and THRIVING. When you move into a small apartment, you believe that you will be able to handle it without any problems and life will be, Well only if you’re a MINIMALIST!!! Which I’m not as you can tell!. So, over the course of living in a small apartment, I’ve have to find to figure out all the things that I REALLY need to buy and try as much as possible to not buy unnecessary things at all. Well easy task right, well for you it might be cuz I share all the small apartment tips, hacks, best purchases I have had to make in my life that have changed my small apartment living 100x EASIER!!!!

One Room for Everything

If you live in a small apartment, you’ll want to make sure that your room is functional and well-organized. One of the best ways to do this is by dedicating one room for everything. This way, every time you need something or want to relax or entertain friends, it will be easy to find what you need.

Use a Corner & Vertical Space

The next best way to make a small apartment feel bigger is by using vertical space. This can be done in many ways and will give you an entirely new perspective on your home. For example, if you have a corner that’s hidden away, hang something like curtains or drapes to create more of a cozy feeling around the edges of your living room area.

Another thing that’s very important when it comes to making the most out of corners and vertical space is keeping them open enough so they don’t feel cramped or closed off. You want people walking through your house to stop and look around each room because they’re so interesting! One tip I can give anyone who wants their home to feel bright and inviting all year long would be creating windowsills out of materials such as wood or stone tiles (if possible). This way when there aren’t any flowers planted outside yet then no matter what kind of weather comes rolling into town we’ll always have something colorful inside our homes too.”

Get Rid of the Clutter

Though your space may be small, it is important to keep it tidy and organized, or else you will end up with a lot of clutter. How do you do this? Here are some tips:

Get rid of things you don’t need. If you don’t use something anymore, why keep it around? In addition to getting rid of unnecessary items such as old clothes and broken electronics, get rid of any junk mail that comes in the mail every day. You can also use apps like Clean Master on mobile devices or UnrollMe on computers to unsubscribe from emails that aren’t necessarily relevant to your life anymore (or ever). This will help clear out unnecessary emails that take up space in your inbox without being read first!

Organize what remains by placing them into bins/boxes/chests for easy access later on when needed again later down the road – this way everything stays tidy without taking up much space at all! To save even more room on shelves put things vertically instead horizontally; this way only takes half as much room compared next time we’ll see each other soon 🙂 I hope these tips help make living small apartments easier!”

Create the Illusion of Space

There are many ways to create the illusion of space in your small apartment.

• Use mirrors to reflect light and open up a room. A long mirror placed on an opposite wall will reflect the light from windows, making the room appear more spacious and bright.
• A large mirror can make a small room look bigger. To achieve this effect, hang the large mirror high enough so that it reflects the ceiling and upper walls instead of creating an unflattering reflection of yourself sitting on your couch or bed! Alternatively, hang two mirrors side-by-side; this will make them appear to be one tall piece instead of two smaller ones

Erase the Lines Between Rooms

Finally, a bit of advice that may seem obvious but shouldn’t be overlooked: make sure the furniture you choose for your small apartment is multipurpose. For example, if you need an extra table for an impromptu dinner party, it’s best to have one in each room that can double as a dining room table as well as serving as a desk or side table in other areas of the home. And if it’s not practical (or necessary) for all members of your household to eat at the same place every night and on special occasions—that’s okay! You’ll find that having multiple options creates flexibility when entertaining guests or making plans with friends and family alike.

Let There be Light

• Let There be Light

As much as we all love our electronic devices, they are not meant to be the main source of light in our homes. They can also cast a harsh and unnatural shadow over your face, so it’s best to turn them off when you’re reading a book or watching TV (which should not be happening anyway).

Lighting is essential for making any space feel comfortable and inviting. It creates ambiance, accentuates the beauty of objects in your home, adds depth to your space and helps set a mood for entertaining or relaxing at night. Here are some tips on how you can use lighting effectively:

• Use natural light whenever possible—especially during the daytime hours when it provides enough illumination without having to turn on additional lights indoors! This will also help save money on electricity costs throughout the year since artificial lights typically cost more than using solar power (i.e., sunlight).
• Use skylights or other types of windows that capture natural light during daytime hours without letting in too much heat from direct exposure outside temperatures; this way they’ll provide just enough illumination while keeping energy consumption low even though they still let plenty shine through while preserving comfort indoors at night time hours when there isn’t any sunshine present anymore outside due either because it’s wintertime here inside North America where those living along coastal areas might see snow falling down during these months instead because global warming affects many parts across continents which normally don’t experience such conditions throughout their history but now have changed drastically due climate change caused by global warming which has resulted from human activities such as emitting greenhouse gases into atmosphere through burning fossil fuels like gasoline cars need gasoline engines run on gasoline/petrol cars need petrol engines run

Extend Your Floor Space.

There are so many ways to utilize hidden storage spaces in your home, which will help you keep everything organized by freeing up floor and dresser space. As you can see from the photo below, under-the-bed storage is a great way to store throw blankets and pillows that would otherwise take up space on your bed or other furniture. If there’s enough room underneath the staircase (which usually gives more than enough space), you could even build shelves or use it as an extra closet!

Underneath a couch can also be used for additional storage if there is enough room within arm’s reach from sitting position (i.e., it shouldn’t require reaching around things like plants). The same goes for under kitchen tables—you may have already noticed these are great spots for storing magazines until they get read! And if you have an island in your kitchen or bathroom sink area, consider making use of those empty corners by installing pullout drawers that provide instant organization capabilities when needed most!

Get the Right Paint Color Schemes

Now that you have chosen the right furniture for your small apartment, it is time to choose the right paint color schemes.

• Choose a color scheme that suits the size of your apartment. You can choose any color and style you like. However, if your apartment is smaller than normal, then try to choose bright or dark colors. These types of shades add more life and brightness to any room without making it appear smaller than its actual size.
• Choose a color scheme that matches the style of your apartment. If you have decorated your home in modern style, then try using monochromatic colors like beige or browns with some greyish white tones added here and there as accents. On the other hand, if you have chosen traditional styles for decorating your home then go for warm earthy hues such as tans and browns along with some soft yellows thrown in here and there as accents on walls or furniture pieces such as sofas or chairs etc., depending upon whether they are upholstered with fabric material or just plain wood surfaces respectively! So these were 8 tips which will help anyone who lives in small apartments understand how best possible way because living small does not mean having less fun–living big means more excitement!!

Be Creative with Furniture Design Ideas

• Use furniture that comes with multiple functions, such as the dining table and chairs. Some of them are multifunctional and can be used for storage, too!
• Use convertible furniture, especially if you have a small apartment with limited space in every corner of your house. Convertible coffee tables are great options because they can be easily turned into a bed or desk when needed, saving space in your room. You’ll find them extremely useful when it comes to saving space without sacrificing functionality or comfort!
• Stackable furniture is another great way to maximize available living space in an apartment while minimizing clutter at the same time; plus they’re super easy to pull out when needed (and then just put back again). They’re also very versatile since they come with wheels so you can move them around easily if needed — perfect solution if there isn’t enough room inside one particular area but plenty elsewhere throughout an entire building (like an office building).

Keep ONLY a few of your Fav Colors

When it comes to interior design, color is everything. We know this, but finding a place that’s small enough to make it feel like home can be tough when you’re trying to stick with a color scheme. Here are some tips for creating a fun and inviting space in your apartment:

• Use no more than three colors in any given room. This will help keep things cohesive and avoid feeling overwhelmed by the number of different shades you have going on at once.
• Choose colors that work together and have similar tones and saturation levels – for example: red, orange and yellow; blue-green/turquoise with navy/black; browns or taupe paired with green/teal; etc. Don’t use too many warm tones together because they can make something feel smaller (i.e., choose just one or two). Similarly, don’t use all cool tones together because they tend not work out as well when combined (i.e., avoid black unless the other two are very light). If you want to get fancy, use complementary colors such as red/green or blue/orange instead of using traditional “neutrals” like browns/blacks since these go better with brighter hues without being too overwhelming!

Decorate Multifunctional

Nowadays, we want everything to be multifunctional. It’s not just about saving space and money. We also want to save time, energy and the environment. Here are some examples of multifunctional furniture that will help you do all these things:

• Multifunctional bed. The bed can become a sofa during the day (and back again at night). This way, your apartment doesn’t have to have two separate rooms for sleeping and sitting down—it only needs one!
• Multifunctional chair. A couch with an armchair that turns into a bed is even more efficient than having two separate pieces of furniture in your living room: one for sleeping and one for sitting down. You’ll need just one piece of furniture instead of two!

Create an Atmosphere with Texture and Pattern

While the previous tips are all about creating a small space that feels big, this tip is about giving your living room a cozy and homey feel. There are few things more comforting than being surrounded by textures and patterns on the walls of your home. Textures make it easier for your eye to focus on something, which is why we love them so much in our houses. Whether it’s a wall covered in wood paneling or wallpaper with bold stripes, the right texture can make all the difference between an ordinary living room and an extraordinary one!

By adding pattern to your walls, you can also create interest without taking up too much visual space; an additional benefit of using patterns is that they’re often more forgiving than solid colors when it comes to covering imperfections in your wall surface (especially when painting over textured surfaces like plaster). Plus there’s nothing wrong with adding some sophistication into your decorating scheme!

13. Repurpose old items for storage solutions (think baskets)

• Repurpose old items for storage solutions (think baskets)

Baskets are the best. They’re versatile and can be used to store all manner of things. You can use them as a catch-all for socks and underwear in the bedroom, or even hang them on the wall as art! If you have a lot of shoes but minimal closet space, consider buying an over-the-door shoe holder that will keep everything organized. You could also repurpose an old bookshelf into a shoe storage unit if there’s room in your apartment—just fill each shelf with shoes!

Hang a curtain to hide unsightly areas or for privacy reasons

A curtain can be used for privacy and decor. They also help with light control, sound control, air control, temperature control, humidity control and dust control.

Here are the steps for hanging curtains:

• Measure the width of your window. If you want your curtain to hang straight down from the top of your window frame (like a mini-blind) make sure that you measure from shoulder height so that there’s enough room for people to walk through without hitting them in their face or breaking them in half!
• Purchase fabric sheets at a local department store or online at Amazon or eBay (this is where I buy my fabrics). You’ll also need curtain rods but don’t worry about those yet – we’ll get into all of those details later on down this post!

Hang a Mirror to Reflect Open Space Outdoors

• Hang a Mirror to Reflect Open Space Outdoors

Even the smallest apartment can use some natural light and air. If you want to make your space feel larger without actually adding more room, try hanging a mirror outside so that it reflects the open space outdoors. It will make it look like you have more room than you really do!

16. Keep your furniture off the floor when possible and use space under furniture creatively by adding storage space like drawers or baskets under beds and sofas, etc.)

• Keep your furniture off the floor when possible and use space under furniture creatively by adding storage space like drawers or baskets under beds and sofas, etc.

If you have a TV stand with cabinets underneath it, try using them as storage units for things like magazines or linens that can be stored vertically. This way, you don’t have to make any changes to the look of your room when it comes time to clean up after yourself: just store whatever mess is there until the next time you need access!

If there isn’t enough room in those cabinets for all of those magazines (or whatever else), consider taking advantage of that empty space above them by adding extra shelves on top! It’ll provide extra storage without making any permanent changes – just make sure not to add anything too heavy because otherwise they may fall down onto whoever’s head is below them through no fault of their own…
