Love Your Small Unit!
Follow these tips to make your unit
appear larger than it really is.


Pint-sized can still be fun and functional.
Proper placement is key. Mirrors can help broaden your space. Mount the mirror in the room where it will trick the eye to think it extends further than it does. This adds perspective and makes the room appear deeper. The great thing about mirrors is that their purpose is twofold.

Selecting a color scheme for your cozy place. Stick with a monochromatic palette. Maintaining colors within the same spectrum unifies a space. The more crazy patterns and colors you have, the more it visually cuts up the room—the eye does not know where to focus and the room ends up looking compartmentalized.

Leaving the windows uncovered as much as possible lends a lofty, airy feel to a space. If you are not lucky enough to have a sun-drenched apartment with dramatic windows, then strategically placed light sources ought to do the trick. Consider recessed lights, uplights and downlights.

Keep it simple! Fight the tendency to over-decorate. Some people think plastering every square inch will cover up the fact it is tiny, when in fact all it does is underscore what space you lack. Bumping into things is a constant reminder of cramped quarters, so be mindful to clear a path for easy flow (Besides, it’s just better feng shui, too.) De-cluttering all your silly bric-a-brac will help create a larger aesthetic. You want the eye to see large, clean, flat surfaces so your place looks more open.


These are just a few main ways
to maximize a small living space!
