5 Smart Design Tips for Your Apartment
Apartment dwellers get to enjoy several perks which independent home owners have to do without. And just because you are living in an apartment doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy loads of free floor spaces either. There are a number of smart designing tips for apartment owners to create the illusion of space. Here is a look at some of them:
Play with Colors
Lighter colors trick the eye into making a space appear larger and more open. Go for lighter shades of neutral colors or your favorite colors and watch your room bloom! Remember that dark colors tend to absorb light while lighter shades reflect light and brighten up the space. And if you are going for wallpapers, avoid loud patterns as they create visual clutter, which makes the room appear smaller and more cramped than it actually is.
Brighten it with Lights
Maximizing entry of natural light into the room brightens it up and makes the room appear larger. Dress your windows in sheer curtains during the daytime for maximal entry of natural light. During the nights, go with multi-level lighting spread across the room as its more effective in opening up a room and making it appear larger. Think in terms of wall brackets, chandeliers, spot or task lighting, standing lamps, table lamps, strip lighting, etc.
Lesser Furniture
Another smart designing trick is to avoid filling up your apartment with furniture. A few statement pieces that fulfill their purpose as well as add more elegance are a better option. Think along the lines of a sofa bed (dual purpose) or glass tables (see-through or invisible furniture), or couches with shorter legs that create a sense of greater height in the room.
Shelves Everywhere
Shelves can be used for storage as well as for display. You can have wall shelves in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the sitting room or even in the bedroom – and replace the floor space-hogging nightstand. You can have open wall shelves or covered in-built shelves. They can be used to store practically anything – from books, to art décor, stationery, spices, home entertainment gadgets, crockery or even your toiletries (in the bathroom).
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
As mirrors reflect light abundantly, they are excellent for brightening up a room. When decorating your apartment, don’t forget to add a statement mirror to amp up the décor as well as to double the light within the room. Mirrors should ideally be placed opposite a light source such as a window or an artificial light source.
