apartment?

Choosing the right furniture for a small apartment can be a challenge, but

with a little creativity and some clever choices you can turn your compact space into a

welcoming, functional home. Here are some tips and a few fun facts to get you

help:

Go for multifunctional furniture

In a small apartment it helps to choose furniture that does more than one job.

Think of a sofa bed that seats you by day and sleeps you at night, or a

dining table you can extend when you have guests. You save space without

giving up comfort.

Choose light colours

Light colours on walls and furniture can make a room look larger and airier. White,

beige and pastel shades reflect more light, so your apartment feels more spacious.

Dark colours, by contrast, can make a room look smaller.

Use mirrors strategically

Mirrors can make a room look bigger by reflecting light and creating depth.

Place a large mirror opposite a window to make the most of the daylight and to

make an apartment feel larger.

Make use of vertical space

When floor area is limited, you can use the height of the room. Think of

tall narrow cupboards or wall shelves reaching up to the ceiling. That gives you extra

storage without taking up precious floor area.
