10 ways to make your Apartment look more spacious:

 

Not everyone is fortunate enough to get their hands on a comfortable, spacious apartment. In such compact apartments, every little design decision counts, causing the owner to wonder how to make the most out of the space.  Lucky for you, you are not the only one faced with such issue. The following article compiles a list of clever tweaks to internal design without relying heavily on your budget.

1.    Aim for the perfect balance

Finding that key balance element is the key to make your living space look more lively and open. The furniture should be distributed in such a way that it neither creates hurdles for passing nor damages the equilibrium of the room. Objects with similar weights must be placed on the opposite axis to achieve symmetry, giving the space a calm feeling.

2.    Choose a focal point

Focal point should be the eye catcher for your space. Use lights or bright colored walls as selection. If you’re willing to spend some cash, a visually appealing ceiling light would just do the job. Otherwise select a piece of furniture that doesn’t make the room look crowded, but at the same time becomes the main attraction of the room. Make the focal point the star.

3.    Color selection

It is a well-known fact that lighter and brighter colors improve the visual appeal of the room. Since these colors are more reflective, the space looks more airy and open than it actually is. For the best results, use softer tons of white, green, orange, or red.

4.    Let there be (natural) light

You’ll be surprised by how this small little hack makes an impact to your apartment. Sunlight allows the room to not only look larger and airy, but also enable you to be more productive (an added bonus).

 

 

5.    Mirrors are your friends

Mirror, if placed in the right spot, helps to create an illusion of an apartment       twice the size of the original. Mirrors also help reflect natural light to make the room look more illuminated, complementing point number 4.

6.    Cover those floors

While carpets do not directly increase the space, adding few carpets, especially under sofas and tables, helps to make the apartment look more tidy and organized. The arranged feeling indirectly spreads a feeling of spaciousness.

7.    Pick your furniture wisely

There are certain furniture qualities to look for before selecting one for a compact apartment. Firstly, opt for sofas with exposed legs. The height of these sofas make the designated space look lighter. Secondly, use multipurpose furniture, for example sofa-cum-bed or beds with cabinets built in.

8.    Get your fabrics right

When choosing cloth for your rugs and curtains, prefer ones with lighter material. These help reflect light and makes the apartment look simpler.

In short, using these few smart and clever techniques, you can make your apartment feel more airy and spacious.
