Designing a small condo or apartment can seem like a challenge, especially when it comes to maximizing space while creating a comfortable and functional environment. Here are a few tips to help you optimize your layout.
Storage is crucial in a small apartment. Take advantage of every nook and cranny to slip in storage solutions: wall-mounted shelves, cupboards under the stairs or drawers under the bed. Open shelves can also add style while providing extra storage space. Remember to use boxes and baskets to organize small items and avoid clutter.
Light plays an essential role in the illusion of space. Well-lit rooms appear larger and more welcoming. Maximize natural light with light curtains or translucent blinds. Complement with intelligent artificial lighting: floor lamps, wall sconces or pendant lights can provide soft, diffused light. Mirrors are also very effective at reflecting light and giving the impression of space.
4. Choose light, neutral colors
Colors play an important role in the perception of space. Light, neutral tones, such as white, beige or light grey, can help to visually enlarge a room. Our white oak and yellow birch are ideal for furnishing a room without overloading it. Dark colors can shrink a space, so reserve them for accents or small areas. Don't hesitate to add touches of color with accessories like cushions, rugs and chairs.
5. Exploitez la hauteur des murs
Walls should not be underestimated. Use them to install high shelves, cupboards or hooks. Tall furniture, such as bookcases or cupboards, maximize vertical space while freeing up floor space. Wall-mounted shelves are ideal for displaying books, plants or decorative objects.
