SET YOUR SIGHTS ON SMALL BUT PERFECTLY FORMED APARTMENT LIVING

1 GALLERY SHOWCASE

Avoid the temptation to go for a blank wall corridor in a bid to be free of clutter. Instead, let your personal pictures and artwork lead you into the living areas. The structure is key, so make sure your frames rest on an imaginary top and bottom line. This creates cohesion and offers you the opportunity to include other pieces to fill any gaps.

Decorating or renovating your apartment can be so exciting. Yes, there’s no point denying the challenges in making over a home with a smallish footprint, but these are in no way insurmountable. This petite dwelling offers you crucial lessons in how to overcome obstacles without sacrificing style. It’s about creating a space brimming with personality while working harder so you can fit in as much as possible – like the L-shaped kitchen, for one, with its mixture of standard and tall cabinets. As for the color scheme – white, grey, and soft pastels rule!

2,3 TWO-TONE KITCHEN

This kitchen will see you abandon belief in the uniformity of white to enhance the sense of space. Yes, you will need to steer clear of dark, saturated shades, but see how pale grey upper units team with powdery blue-grey bases without visually eating up the space? And there’s no need to go bland and basic with your tiles – opt for gloss textured finishes.
