How to Increase a Small Apartment: 9 Tips with a Real Example

"How to achieve such a magical renovation?" — you might ask. Read the answer below.

1.Painting walls and ceiling white only makes sense if the shades are completely identical. Among all possible options, choose French grey, silver, zircon, pale smoky, Gainsborough, light blue, pale graphite, or stone.

2.Do not use tall furniture in the interior. Replace wardrobes with dressers, avoid shelves and buffets. If you have no choice, paint tall pieces exactly to match the wall color, as done in the kitchen of this apartment.

3.If you want to save space and maintain a sense of openness, choose only light-colored paintings or small photos with large white passe-partouts.

4.On the kitchen, plan abundant bright lighting that turns simple cabinets without any fancy details into a full decorative element.

5.Transparent chairs are still not outdated, despite their widespread use recently.

6.Use more glass, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces. They add light, shine, and elegance to the room.

7.Vertical striped wallpapers are much less heavy on the interior than floral patterns. If you use only the lightest options, you’ll achieve the lightest walls after plain white ones.

8.Use contrasts as decor. An example is a pillow in the bedroom, featuring a combination of white and capri color.

9.Indoor plants, especially lush decorative-leaf varieties, look great on any light background and make the interior much more vibrant and lively, while also filtering indoor air.
