1. Add an accent.

An accent wall is nice, but if you’re looking for small apartment living room ideas, try a small accent area, like the one shown in this Dutch living room. The pleasant green arch creates visual interest in this small space.

2. Utilize under-bench storage.

It’s not just the natural tones and abundant light that make this small living room seem much bigger; it’s also the skilled use of storage for excess items: here, they’ve stowed several baskets under a small bench to keep clutter out of the way.

3. Arrange things artfully.

Not all small apartment living rooms involve keeping items sparse. This 425-square-foot Los Angeles living room has plenty of furniture, but it’s displayed in such a way to avoid looking cluttered and stuffy.

4. Stick with a color scheme.

Incorporating a continuous color scheme throughout your entire space is a clever way to make a studio or one-room space look larger and less cluttered. We love the boho-chic look Senaida Mehmedovic used in her Denver studio apartment.

5. Go long.

Looking for small apartment living room ideas for a  narrow room? Look to this sleek Brooklyn apartment for a layout that’s perfect. To cop a similar look, search for furniture with small dimensions and leggy, airy pieces that don’t have a lot of visual weight. Place key furnishings like your sofa and large bookcases against the wall to take advantage of every square inch of floor space.

6. Elevate an alcove.

Even a tiny alcove, like in this New York apartment, can work as the perfect living room. Emphasize the coziness of a small footprint with soft textures and calming colors, both of which can make a tiny area feel intentionally small.

7. Embrace a multipurpose room.

Not enough space for a separate dining room, living room, and breakfast nook? Follow the example of this dreamy, pink-walled Washington DC studio and carve those areas out of one room. With the right sized furniture, this decorating strategy can make a layout look more like a deliberately open floor plan—not just a one room apartment.

8. Size down and build up.

If your home has been blessed with high ceilings, you can use them to your advantage. Think vertically by decorating with tall mirrors, high shelves, and curtains mounted several inches above your actual windows, which draws the eye up and creates the illusion of a bigger home. All of these strategies—plus, the use of a smaller loveseat sofa and a tiny trunk as a coffee table—are exactly what make this stylish yet small Brooklyn studio look larger and more spacious.

Look to decor stores as inspiration.

Think of the room setups you see in stores like IKEA, West Elm, and Target—they’re great sources of small apartment living room ideas. If a home store vignette reflects the actual dimensions of your home , as in this artsy New York studio, you can simply replicate these ultra stylized setups.

10. Get your reflection on.

Mirrors are one of the best ways to make your tiny space feel open and airy. That’s why Ayesha Curry and Parisa O’Connell chose to create this awesome optical illusion in their diminutive dwelling space. Our opinion? It totally works!

11. Fill ‘er up.

In a tiny space, you might be afraid of overwhelming things with too-large furniture, but oftentimes, if you go full throttle with a large sectional that hugs the walls, you’ll get a room that #1 seats a ton of people and #2 feels super welcoming and cozy. Take notes from this home we toured in the UK that fits a family of four.

12. Embrace the cozy eclectic look.

Another example of a tiny space embracing all things cozy for the better can be seen in this comfortable, sunny Philadelphia condo. Layer in an eclectic mix of objects and furnishings that are special to you, and you’ll be left with a living room full of colorful textures you’ll never want to leave.

13. Keep things linear.

To add to your list of small apartment living room ideas, try implementing varying geometric and linear prints, like the dramatic rug seen here. This gives a small space a sense of structure while also providing the illusion of additional length and width.

14. Invite tiny keepsakes & treasures into your space.

In this charming living room, your attention is occupied and delighted by all the personal accents and accessories that draw you into each area of the little space.

15. Use color to define spaces.

When you’re trying to carve a living room out of a smaller studio space, you can always use color blocking to your advantage. This Brooklyn renter anchored her sofa with a hunter green wall, which makes the space that also contains her bed look like two separate rooms. She kept the look as airy as possible by restricting her living room furniture to the bare minimum—just a couch, coffee table, and two pretty magenta pink stools.

16. Install a wall of books.

To turn a small living space into your favorite room, consider taking an empty wall and turning it into a top-to-bottom mini library. It’ll provide plenty of storage opportunities, but also makes such a statement and gives a luxe built-in effect. For an even more stylish push, pick a rich color, like the hunter green of this room, and add molding to polish off the custom look.

17. Don’t be scared of quirky set ups.

Just because this area’s called a “living room” doesn’t mean it can’t serve a purpose beyond just lounging. The roommates in this San Francisco apartment actually squeezed a washing machine in the corner of their living room. Although unexpected, the white unit almost blends into the space, since it’s close in color to the walls. It even features a fabric accent that matches the living room sofa.

18. Embrace less.

If you’re averse to clutter, just put the good bones of your living room on display. A perfect example is this light and airy Michigan apartment, which has the essential pieces of furniture and just a few select decor items. Sometimes less is more, especially when you have a beautiful fireplace, nice hardwood floors, and large windows that let in tons of light.

19.

The power of the tuck.

The main goal of any small living space is always to use every area as efficiently as possible. And the area under your coffee table (considering yours doesn’t have shelving) can be prime real estate! Mimic the clever space shown here, where poufs that serve as additional seating are tucked neatly beneath the coffee table.

20. Keep your space alive.

It’s no secret that plants add so much value to any room in the home, but you can really get creative with them in your living area. In a tour of her home via House Beautiful, Justina Blakeney shows off just that in her compact living room, and is smart about hanging greenery so as to avoid taking up any precious floor space.

21. Double duty furniture.

This ultra creative Washington DC apartment uses furniture with a dual purpose to save on space. The coffee table is able to go from regular height to the height of a proper dining room table and can seat up to four guests, erasing the need for a separate eating nook and excessive pieces of furniture.

22. Add height with floor to ceiling draperies.

Curtains are the quickest way to add instant height to any space. The trick is to hang them from right around where your wall meets your ceiling and let them slightly puddle on the ground. Light-colored sheer panels are designed this way, popping against a dark background in this Colorado home.

23. Behold the power of threes.

Grouping items into threes is a great way to make a living room feel a bit bigger by adding more pieces to a space without taking up more real estate. (Not to mention you can move smaller furnishings like these around as needed.)

K.I.S.S.

Keep it simple, sweetie! When you don’t have a ton of room to play with but you want to inject some color, it’s best to keep it simple if you’re a newbie. Start with a foundation of neutrals and add in one feature color and one metallic and run with it, like this space which invites varying textures and finishes to add depth while remaining light and airy on the eyes.

25. Fit it all in.

Packing your teeny space with lots of purpose is another way to trick yourself into thinking things are bigger than they appear. In this apartment, living room seamlessly connects to an office area, feeling cohesive and interesting.

26. Brighten up with white.

Nothing brightens and opens up a space like the color white can, which is why this technique is tops on our list of small apartment living room ideas. This coastal-reminiscent apartment in California shows how even the tiniest living rooms can look larger than life when decorated in a monochrome palette.

27. Layer your lighting.

This living room feels big and spacious due in large part to tall ceilings and big windows, but also of note is the layered lighting. Keeping light at multiple levels (via floor lamps, chandeliers, and task lights) creates a moody yet well-lit room.

28. Don’t overlook underused spots.

If you have windows in your tiny living room, put those windowsills to work holding books, plants and other decorative objects.

29. Go big with a rug.

Go vertical.

Blankets are a must for a cozy living room experience. But when you’re short on space to store said blankets, you don’t have many options. Sure, you can stash them in a basket, but that takes up valuable floor space. A better option? A leaning ladder.

31. Skip the coffee table in place of an ottoman or pouf.

This space from Cup of Jo is by no means a small living room, but let’s pretend for a second that it is to learn a thing or two from it. See those two poufs on the other side of the coffee table? Those could easily swap in for the actual coffee table itself in a tighter space, which lends flexibility; crucial in a small space. Opting for ottomans or poufs over larger furnishings is a smart way to still have a spot to place a drink or remote but be able to move things easily around as you please (and of course, create more seating).

32.

Thinking clearly.

Acrylic or glass furniture has long been a designer trick for small spaces. They serve a purpose (i.e., holding drinks, etc.) while basically disappearing into the space. The result is a room with all the function you need, but without all the visual clutter.

33. Be delicate.

Similar to the above trick, choosing accent furniture with delicate frames is another way to tone down the visual noise. This tiny seating living room (the home of content strategist Cole Wilson via One Kings Lane) feels full sized thanks to the delicate gold base and glass top coffee table, thin framed accent chairs and floor lamp.

34. Try matchy-matchy.

While some might tell you that all-white rooms are the key to stretching a small space, we’re here to tell you that no matter what paint you go with, the effect of color is a lot more nuanced than that. A trick that always works, though, no matter what’s on your wall? Matching your drapes (bonus points if they’re a sheer material) to your wall. Here, white walls seem to go on forever as the visual line is not interrupted by different colored curtains. If you flip this and decide to go dark and moody, stick to draperies in equally dramatic tones for a super cohesive, polished look perfect for a small living room.

Decorate with Mirrors via Instagram/reserve_home

It’s the oldest designer trick in the book: a strategically placed mirror can make a small space feel bigger. Hang a large mirror in a small living room or a cramped bedroom across from a window, so it’s in a prime position to bounce natural light back into the room.

Create a Focal Point via Instagram/andrea_groot

The focal point of a room attracts the eye and helps pull a design together. If your space lacks a natural attention-grabber, such as a fireplace or a bay window, create one. This could be a stand-out ornament, a theatrical light fixture, or an arresting artwork.

Lean Wall Art via Instagram/______theo

Leaning wall art in unexpected places provides an interesting, casual look and eliminates holes in walls. So if you find yourself with a lease that’s strict on decoration updates, you can always prop your artwork against a wall to make that rental feel more like your own home.

Hang Curtains Higher via Instagram/bohofrisco

If your home wasn’t blessed with super tall ceilings, you’re not alone. The good news? You can fake high interiors by hanging your curtains higher than the windows. With this sneaky hack, your eye will be immediately drawn upward, making the entire space feel larger.

Display Your Collectibles via Instagram/______theo

Grouping objects with a common theme always creates impact. If you’ve been collecting something for a long time and aren’t sure where to put your prized items, cluster them together on a shelf, a fireplace mantel, or an entryway console table so that every time you pass by, they spark joy.

Go Big with Wall Art via Instagram/mindy_schroor

When in doubt, go big! Select a large-format canvas, like in this bold space from @mindy_schroor, a large tapestry, or an oversized artwork to make a powerful statement and visually open up a room. That’s right! Large wall art is a surprisingly good way to optimize small spaces.

Incorporate Plants via Instagram/______theo

Decorating with plants is an evergreen choice, no matter the style of your apartment. Tailor the size and form of your green display to the setting. It can be anything from a feature plant (above) to a line of single stems in identical containers along a windowsill or a bowl of succulents on a coffee table.

Fill Your Fireplace via Instagram/reserve_home

Just because you have a fake fireplace doesn’t mean it can’t be a centerpiece of your living room! Spruce up the inner opening with an eye-catching filler. @reserve_home used books from her home library and lined the inside of her faux fixture with a beautiful stacked arrangement.

Color Block Your Walls via Instagram/mindy_schroor

Instead of painting your whole wall one color, why not split it up? Color blocking is a fun and exciting way to make your apartment feel fresh and vibrant on a tight budget. On a practical note, it can help section off a part of the space to create a breakfast nook or a study corner.

Give Your Ceiling a Makeover via Instagram/gareth_at_31

Rather than painting walls in a feature color, flip the look and choose a bold shade for your ceiling. Just remember that choosing a darker color will make the ceiling feel closer than it really is. Small apartment dwellers, consider yourselves warned.

Upgrade Your Shelving via Instagram/britdotdesign

Open shelves provide plenty of functional storage, but there’s no reason why they can’t have a decorative value as well. Here, arched alcoves with built-in shelves add instant architectural punch to this modern living space from @britdotdesign.

Wallpaper a Small Space via Instagram/indigoleopardhome

Rather than trying to make your narrow powder room or tiny bathroom feel bigger,  lean into the small space and give it lots of personality with a bold print like @indigoleopardhome did. Her bathroom is the perfect example that small spaces can pull off busy wallpaper and that sometimes more is more.

Swap out Shower Curtain via Instagram/bohofrisco

If you’re not comfortable with wallpapering your bathroom but still want to add a dash of color and pattern into the space, liven things up with a shower curtain! And don’t be afraid of adding other colorful accents to the mix with the help of bathroom accessories (like a small vase of flowers.)

Rethink your Lighting via Instagram/restyleart

Consider where your light is shining from. You may see a world of difference if you combine one overhead light with table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, and pendants. Using multiple light sources also helps break up large rooms, as demonstrated by @restyleart above.

Get That Gallery Wall via Instagram/harrison_nate_and_me

A gallery wall is a no-fail addition to any space, from a boho living room to an aesthetic bedroom. It can be made up of photos, prints, postcards, and even things like wicker baskets. If you’re worried about nailing into walls, try magnet-mounted metal posters that won’t damage the paint!

Eliminate the Uppers via Instagram/briellemariesandra

If your kitchen feels a little dark, try removing some of the upper cabinets, especially those that might be blocking the flow of natural light. You can also ditch your bulky uppers altogether and replace them with floating shelves to open up the space and bring more light into the room.

Introduce Contrasting Colors via Instagram/maties_house

@maties_house used high-contrast colors to create a bold space that feels both inviting and dramatic. For that striking, pulled-together look, consider choosing two shades on opposite ends of the color wheel and using one for the walls and the other for textiles, furniture, and accessories.

Turn Cookware into Art via Instagram/iamhayleystuart

Using walls to display your prettiest kitchen utensils will free up extra counter space and make your kitchen look more stylish. Mount a pot rack with your favorite copperware in place of a backsplash, or install open shelves to show off those kitchen appliances and save space.

Repaint Your Furniture via Instagram/thecrazydaisycottage

Repainting furniture is a great way to give your dated pieces a much-needed lift. Just look at the splashy makeover from @thecrazydaisycottage above! While not a quick fix, we can bet that you’ll fall in love with your freshly repainted desk, coffee table, or even bed frame all over again.

Mix and Match Textures via Instagram/eastdallas_yogi_abode

Incorporating multiple mixed materials and finishes can add visual weight and interest to any space. Assess your apartment and look for contrasting textures. Take your cue from @eastdallas_yogi_abode and combine different fabrics, wood furnishings, leather pieces, and plants.

Frame Your Headboard via Instagram/timlabenda

The space behind your bed is the perfect place to make a statement. This stunning bedroom from @timlabenda features a Gucci crane wallpaper (yes, Gucci makes wallpaper, and yes, it’s fabulous, and yes, it’s extortionate). And look at those pendant lights against that print. So dreamy!

Soften with Textiles via Instagram/andrea_groot

Give your decor a relaxing look and feel with the use of textiles. Toss some throw pillows on the sofa or cover your couch in faux fur. If you have the budget, invest in living room furniture that you can sink into. Put down a couple of rugs and watch as even floor spaces become snuggly spots to get cozy.

Change up Your Paint Job via Instagram/merakikollektiv

We all know that a lick of paint can do wonders to your home. So wave goodbye to those plain white walls and go crazy with bold colors! For a playful, whimsical touch, you can try creating decorative shapes with tape or paint — just remember to stick with hues from the same color family.

Add Seasonal Decor via Instagram/kunis_home

Seasonal decorating is a clever way to change the look of your apartment and keep it fresh.  Don’t be afraid to send some of your everyday decorative objects on a short vacation! Replace the mirror over the mantel with a holiday wreath, or add a few festive touches to your coffee table vignette.

Style Awkward Spaces via Instagram/thecrazydaisycottage

Whether it’s a small space under the stairs or an awkward corner in the living room, these tricky areas are great for flexing your decorative muscles. With the right furniture, accessories, and vision, you can turn them into anything from sneaky storage to cozy reading nooks!

It’s a Wrap!

The idea of ​​a modern renovation of a small narrow room - before and after photos

Often the layout of the rooms in our apartments leaves much to be desired. There is only one way out - fantasy and creativity. Light pastel colors gave the room a fresh and relaxed mood. Our advice for narrow spaces: avoid tall furniture like wall units and bookcases, they visually take up too much space.

Scandinavian style is all about light. In no case should dark furniture be allowed to take away at least a piece of the available lighting. The dominant color is white. A few accents of gray and green plants diversify the interior and make it cozy.

Small bedroom renovation idea

Minimalism is the perfect solution for a small room interior. The same color of the walls and ceiling, white-painted parquet and gray textiles create a unified image. Tip: replace the handles on the cabinets with a push mechanism to open the doors, as in the presented photo. Laconic facades almost merged with the wall, which makes the room seem larger.

Small nursery renovation idea. Photo "before"

Most often in the nursery we need to find a place for a bed, a table, and a closet ... And it often happens that, having placed the bed, we can no longer find a place for everything else. Our advice: do not buy ready-made furniture. Order the manufacture of furniture designed for a specific room.

Custom made furniture for a very small nursery. Photo "after"

When making furniture to order, you will proceed from the individual characteristics of the room and the needs of the person living in it. You will have the opportunity to optimally use every centimeter of space. In the photo above you see a built-in wardrobe and shelves at the head of the bed, made according to an individual project.

Contemporary style nursery with orange accents

At some point in life, all children come to the stage when a person has his own view of what his room should be like. The child has permanent and serious hobbies, interesting topics for him. And in adolescence, when the time for wallpaper with bears passes, the child wants to participate in equipping his own room. A good solution for furnishing a teenager's room is functional furniture with a simple but practical design and color accents placed with the help of individual furniture elements and textiles.

You have a very small bathroom, but you would not like to give up the bathtub. A small bathtub designed for sitting can be a way out. Our advice: choose narrow furniture and light colors.

Small bathroom interior with storage space

Even the smallest bathroom needs storage space. A stone stand for small things and compact built-in cabinets with glass facades will come in handy and present a narrow room from the best side.

Optimal use of the space of a small bathroom

Of course, if a washing machine needs to be placed in a small bathroom, the space will become even smaller. In this case, you need to find a very clever solution. Designers fit the washing machine into a row of built-in wardrobes, bringing the entire lower level under one worktop. A full-wall wall cabinet with mirrored facades was placed at the top. The entire interior is designed in gray and white, which could look rather boring if it were not for the bright green accents placed with the help of textiles and trifles.

Apartment renovation ideas

Repair Calculator

Even five or seven years ago, the only style that was used to renovate apartments was "European style". It was about buying more or less high-quality materials and using them to perform cosmetic decoration of dwellings in the old housing stock.

But now apartment owners want to make their homes not just livable, but also beautiful. Therefore, the repair is carried out in a certain style. Classic, retro, baroque are popular. Such options are beautiful, but not original.

What other style can you decorate an apartment in?

Ideas for apartment renovation and design

Loft style can be chosen for a large apartment. It is characterized by rough finishes made of mineral materials, natural reddish or gray colors, exposed pipelines and electrical cables, and textured wood. It is not recommended to use this design option in small rooms with low ceilings or small windows. Accents will overload the interior and make the room visually smaller.

Loft is a fairly budget option, so it is suitable, for example, for renting apartments. Concrete or brick walls can not be finished with decorative materials, but cleaned and sanded. You do not need elaborate furniture and a large number of accessories.

A similar solution is minimalism. This design option is suitable for small rooms. Minimalism is characterized by:

It is essential that the apartment is lit with as much natural light as possible. Therefore, you do not need to put accessories on the windowsill and hang heavy curtains on the window.

This style will suit owners of smart apartments, lovers of simplicity and creative people.

Scandinavian style is an example of functionality and budget. To understand its features, visit any of the IKEA stores. Shades of furniture are used for decoration, but bright accents are also used in the interior.

Scandinavian-style renovation will not require huge expenses, so it is suitable for young families who have bought their first apartment and people who want to save money.

Provence is a more “feminine” option for housing design. In this style, you can decorate a woman's apartment or a girl's room. This style is characterized by white and purple shades, light colors. It is not recommended to use this option for apartments that will be rented out or for housing in which small children will live.

Advantages of the solution:

Please note that in Russia it is customary to dilute the Provence style with wood and bright green colors, which are not typical for it. This is due to the fact that Provence is a southern style and is not suitable for the harsh Russian winter. Therefore, the pastel will seem too cold in winter and negatively affect the condition of the owner.

Where to go

Do you want to make a truly unique renovation in your apartment? Use the services of a professional designer.
