Vivid colors

When you add vivid colors as these in your apartment, stick to details and small objects such as chair seating, pillows, accessories and similar.
Bedroom privacy

They do not eat space, and can be closed and open at any time.
Drawer style apartment
In the past few years, drawer style apartments have been a huge hit. People have learnt to live in 20 to 30 square meters. The key to making this successful and comfortable living space is everything to be like Lego cubes. The bedroom can have drawers, hidden storage space and much more. When decorating a small apartment, think and try to add as many hidden drawers as possible.
Take advantage of the height
What small apartments lack in width, they more than make up in height. It is an unwritten rule for small apartments to be vertical. And once presented with the opportunity, it is up to you to take full advantage of the height. What this means in the real world? Practically, it means that you should not leave free space up to the ceiling. When you shop for a wardrobe, look for one that will be as tall as your wall. You can buy smaller in width, but taller wardrobe. It will have to be custom made, but it is well worth the price. If you can even make it built in, you’ve saved space for a full room.
