Embroidery

You don’t need designated space in your apartment to do embroidery because you can do it from the comfort of your couch. Your tools and materials will also be super easy to store, especially if you repeatedly use the same hoop and don’t buy more thread than you need at the time.

Pressing Flowers

If you have a lot of books at your apartment, how about using them to press flowers? You can later use them to create all sorts of interesting designs, or simply frame them and gift them to your friends and family after decorating your own apartment with your floral creations.

Drawing Notebook

Traditional paintings can require a lot of room, but that’s not the case with regular drawings. Just get a notebook and some colored pencils and use them to rediscover your love for art. Adult coloring books are also an option if drawing isn’t your strongest suit.

Curtains

The best way to make your apartment look bigger is to ditch the curtains and let the sunshine in. Bright spaces always look more spacious, so if your neighbor’s home is not too close, forget about the curtains and let those windows shine.

Too much furniture

One of the most common interior design mistakes is having too much furniture in a room. If there’s too much going on in your living room that’s overcrowded with different items, maybe it’s time to eliminate something and make your home feel more spacious.

Wall Decor

Too many bookshelves and paintings on the wall can also make a place feel claustrophobic, and in this case, you might want to think about redecorating. If your apartment is small, there’s probably no room for a big gallery wall, so try to replace it with one or two statement items.

Clean

Cleaning and decluttering the space is the first thing you need to do. Move everything that just sits around without a purpose—that gym bag that’s always next to the front door, magazines, move plants that sit on the floor to the shelves. You’ll instantly get more space for people.

Prep Food in Advance

Whether you’re cooking for your friends or ordering food, do it before they arrive so you have time to put away the dishes/boxes and only take the minimum amount of space. It’s a good idea to have a self-serving corner where everyone can come and get what they want.

Fresh Air

Small space with a lot of people in it can quickly turn into a sweatbox. Prevent this by opening the windows or air conditioning, depending on what you have and the weather outside.

Just Hanging

Placing pots on your floor and furniture isn’t the only option at your disposal. If you take a closer look around your apartment, you’ll notice many empty spaces where you can hang your houseplants – starting with your bare walls.

Work of Art

Speaking of walls, you don’t have to decorate them with paintings and bookshelves alone. Plants can look just as beautiful as any work of art, so why not put them up on your walls for everyone to admire?

Go Small

The room in your apartment is extremely limited, don’t buy gigantic plants if you haven’t already made some extra space for them. Going small is your best option, and it’s more fun because you can pick several different houseplants and have fun decorating them.

Smaller Budget

Studio apartments usually come with lower rent, but that’s not the only way they’re saving you money. Your bills will also be lower, and you’ll be forced to stop buying unnecessary things because you have nowhere to store them.

Creative Spark

You can let your imagination run wild when you’re living in a small apartment because it really takes a creative mastermind to fit everything you need into a small space and make it work.

Cleaning Time

Keeping your house clean is no easy feat, but things tend to get easier when you’re living at an apartment. The smaller it is, the less time you’ll spend cleaning up after yourself.

Moving Out

The smaller your apartment is, the easier it will be to pack everything you own in a couple of boxes when the time comes to move somewhere else.

Glass

Having mirrors around a room can make the space feel bigger because it is reflecting everything around it, giving it the illusion that you are in a large room. Also, go for pieces like coffee or dining room tables that have a glass top. The more you see of a room, the bigger it will feel.

Rugs

Rugs can sometimes swallow a room, so make sure you get one that is smaller than the piece of furniture underneath it. That will make it a focal point of the room without taking up too much space.

Kitchen

If you have a small kitchen, make use of all the cabinets you have. Use simple things like baskets and command hooks inside the cabinets and cabinet doors to make sure as much is off the counter and hidden away as you can, giving you more space to work and a better display for guests.

Lighting is the Key

The more light there is, the bigger your space will look. Make sure furniture isn’t blocking the natural light. In the evening, turn on several lamps instead of just one big bulb on the ceiling.

Every Inch Counts

It’s best if you can have your furniture custom made so you can use the space to the max.

Baskets and Bins

They are trendy, can hold all kinds of stuff, and fit in perfectly with the surroundings.

Multifunctional Furniture

Have you thought about the furniture that has more than one function? We’re talking about desks that are also dining tables, beds with storage drawers, and anything else that can make your life easier.

Looks better now, doesn’t it?
