Modern interior of a small apartment: ideas and trends
In recent years, small apartments have become especially popular among young professionals and single people.
The small area of such apartments places special demands on interior design.
Yulia Tychino tells us how to make the interior of a small apartment convenient, comfortable and stylish.
Firstly, when planning the interior of a small apartment, it is important to use the space as efficiently as possible.
This can be achieved with the help of competent zoning of spaces and multifunctional furniture.
For example, using transformable tables, fold-out sofas, and built-in wardrobes will save space.
Secondly, it is important to choose the right furniture. Give preference to compact pieces of furniture - bedside tables, chests of drawers, cabinets without massive parts. It is better to choose furniture on legs to visually increase the space.
Thirdly, use light colours when decorating the interior. Light walls, floors and furniture will visually expand the room. Dark colours are best used in small doses - as accent elements.
Fourth, use lighting correctly. To visually expand the space, diffused light from several sources is suitable, rather than bright concentrated light from one chandelier. Built-in lamps, spotlights, and light lines look good.
Fifth, use mirrors and glossy surfaces wisely - they will visually enlarge the room. Place a large mirror opposite a window or light source to enhance the effect.
Sixth, when decorating your interior, avoid large pieces of furniture and accessories.
Give preference to light chairs, transparent coffee tables, and small decorative elements.
Seventh, save space when storing things. Use rational solutions - store dishes and supplies on open shelves, clothes and shoes - in cabinets with a door lifting mechanism.
Eighthly, plants will help to visually enlarge the space. Tall narrow ficuses and palm trees will make the room airier.
As for design trends in the decoration of small apartments, several popular directions can be identified.
Firstly, minimalism. It is characterized by simple forms, monochrome color scheme, absence of bright accents. In such an interior, everything is laconic and functional. The feeling of spaciousness is created by free space and correctly placed accents.
Secondly, the Scandinavian style with its light shades of wood, uso zoning of space, cozy textiles. Such an interior looks light, modern and elegant.
Thirdly, vintage and boho-chic with their non-standard design solutions. Bright accent walls, unusual lamps, vintage furniture make the interior of a small apartment unique.
The main thing when creating a design is to take into account the features of a specific room and correctly place accents. Then even the smallest apartment will look stylish and modern.
