Most small apartments tend to be box-shaped, so use your furniture to add some curves and make it feel much bigger. Round furniture will keep things from looking too monotone in a box shaped house, and they are usually much smaller. Once you’ve found pieces that suit your needs and your personal style, make sure to add to those curves by using similar shapes in your accessories. This great design tip works wonders all the time.

Layers Add Depth

Large furniture pieces can make a small apartment seem closed-off and suffocating. Incorporating some "floating" elements into your design can open things up by allowing the eye to travel all the way through the space, while still providing the same functionality. Floating shelves can used instead of a big bookcase and a floating sink can give even your tiny bathroom a more open feeling.

Throw Things Away



When you live in a small house there is far less room for all of your unused items to hide. Once or twice a year, make an effort to go through your possessions and revaluate what you really need. You’ll be surprised how many items are less than necessary and how much clearer your home looks once you’ve finished.
