It’s time to start thinking big in order to make your tiny space have expansive feels. Here are 4 simple tricks to elevate your apartment decor.

Optimizing space is the name of the game in a small apartment. If you don’t have much square footage to utilize it’s essential that you start thinking vertical. Consider installing floating shelves and emphasizing high ceilings with floor length curtains. This will help shift the focus upward and create an illusion of a more spacious apartment.

 

Keep it minimal.

As the saying goes “Less is MORE.” To keep your apartment looking clean, spacious, and sophisticated, you’ll want to decorate with simplistic pieces. After all, filling your space with too many trinkets will only add clutter.

 

Strategically place mirrors throughout your space.

Mirrors have the power to transform your space from small and cluttered to expansive and charming. Consider placing a mirror behind your bedside lamp to bounce the light and create the illusion of a brighter more open space.
