Design and Organization for Small Spaces

Design and Organization for Small Spaces

There is a struggle among apartment renters. The struggle is decorating a small space while keeping the space organized and focused. Small apartments can be a challenge to decorate due to large furniture sizes, restricted room sizes and renters owning more things than they have room for. The following suggestions will revolutionize small spaces, giving apartment renters ideas for storage and decorations.  
  • Armless furniture creates the look of openness. Find couches that remain open on the ends, or bar stools without backs. Add pillows and accents with bright colors to attract attention to detail.
  • End tables in living rooms and bedrooms can be eliminated through the use of floor lamps. Floor lamps provide lighting while also providing more space.
  • Find an ottoman with storage capabilities. Extra blankets, floor pillows and television trays can all be kept neatly in the ottoman, which can also function as a coffee table, holding books and décor on top of it.
  • A single large piece of wall art can draw eyes toward the painting or photograph, while detracting from the size of the room. Be careful to not add too many wall pieces as it will look cluttered.
  • Multitask your furniture. A simple and sleek desk can transform into a dinner table at night. A twin size bed can function as a couch during the day and leave you with a guest mattress.
Some of these simple but effective techniques will allow apartments everywhere to be less cluttered, remain organized, all while maintaining great style. Picture from wonderlane
