- Add Storage. One thing most small apartments tend to be short on? Storage. Living room storage may not be as essential as say, a linen closet, but adding a buffet or an armoire to a nook in your room can go miles towards keeping your small space free of clutter.
- Add Something Living. One of the best ways to ensure your small space doesn't feel sterile is to add something living to it. A bouquet of fresh flowers is every designer's trick to finishing a room, but a potted plant or air plant are also great ideas.
- Choose a Large Rug. This may seem counterintuitive, but a large statement rug can actually make a smaller living room feel larger. Not only does a well-placed rug add a lot of texture and warmth to a room, but a small living room can feel grander and more spacious with the right size rug.
- Keep Shelves Clean. The last thing you want in a small apartment is clutter. And that can be difficult, especially if your small space lacks closet storage.
- Go Bold With a Gallery Wall. To pack a punch of personality into your small space, go big and bold with a wall-to-wall gallery wall. “You’ll want to pick one really large piece that paves the way for the surrounding pieces and build out around it,” Yoselin Castro, senior interior designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors, says “One of my favorite things when it comes to building gallery walls is filling in the small gaps with textural decor—think a clock, macrame hanging, or metal links.”
- Devise a Spot to Work From Home. With working from home a new part of our routines, including a desk in your small living room may seem like an unrealistic dream.
- Hang a Standout Light Fixture. If you'd prefer to keep your walls bare, take a risk with an eye-catching light fixture, like Mary Patton did in this living room.
- Layer a Rug Over Carpet. Most of us have been there, stuck in an apartment with less-than-ideal carpeting. If you're renting, pulling it up and refinishing the floors isn't an option, but covering much of it up with a rug is.
- Add an Entryway Bench. Small apartments are notorious for having awkward entryway areas or none at all. Adding a narrow bench provides a spot to slip on shoes.
- Use Removable Wallpaper. If you're renting your apartment, you might be unable to paint your walls. Turn to removable wallpaper for personalized apartment decor while avoiding damage to walls.
- Loft Your Bed. Capitalize on space in a small apartment by lofting your bed. This frees up a ton of floor space for storage. Add a ladder and place a desk or small dining table underneath to create a workspace or lounge area for guests.
- Use Temporary Decals. If temporary wallpaper seems like a bigger job than you're ready to take on, opt for removable decals. Transform your apartment decor by adding vinyl decals that put the finishing touch on your bedroom or living room.
