The
apartment may be small, but the challenge of decorating it is huge. The good news is that there are various techniques and accessories to help make rooms cozy, functional and full of style. If you're looking for ideas to
optimize and make the most of every square meter without giving up a decor full of personality, check out the following tips:
1. Don't waste any corners Projeto de LessaZaneta. (André Nazareth/Divulgação)
Every bit of your small apartment can be put to good use.
Niches, shelves and bespoke furniture can be used to take advantage of empty corners or spaces that would normally be ignored. A simple example is placing a sideboard in the hallway or a small table next to the bed, where you can store books, plants or decorative objects,
without compromising the circulation of the room.
2. Bet on light colors Projeto de Ketlein Amorim. (Lilia Mendel/Divulgação)
Tones such as
white, off-white, beige, light gray and pastel reflect the
natural light and create a feeling of spaciousness, making the room seem larger than it really is. Use these colors on walls, furniture and even accessories to create a neutral base that still brings
elegance and freshness.
3. Verticalize Projeto Morada 31.12 (Júlia Tótoli/CASACOR)
Lacking floor space? Use the walls for shelves, bookcases and tall cabinets. As well as increasing storage capacity, circulation is not compromised. Mirrors can also be placed on the walls to create an effect of
amplitude and personality in the room.
4. Integrate spaces Tom Castro - Loft Tua. Projeto da CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2024. (MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)
In
small apartments, the integration of rooms is fundamental for the decor to flow naturally. Ditching the walls and connecting the
living room with the dining room or the
kitchen with the laundry area helps to improve the flow and ventilation between the spaces.
5. Bet on multifunctional furniture Project by Escala Arquitetura. (Juliano Colodeti, from MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)
Furniture that performs more than one function helps to
maximize the use of space. Sofa beds, coffee tables that turn into desks and beds with chests are just a few furniture ideas that can make a difference.
6. Use organizers Projeto de Vivian Reimers (Luiza Schreier/CASACOR)
Keep your apartment organized. Too many items can create a polluted and claustrophobic atmosphere. Use organizers, boxes and baskets to store objects and accessories in a practical and discreet way. As well as
keeping everything in place, you'll ensure that the apartment has a
clean look.
7. Avoid accumulating unnecessary items Tulio Henrique - Estúdio dos Reflexos. Com predominância dos tons preto e branco, evidenciando o caráter minimalista, um estúdio onde as linhas retas e as orgânicas convergem, traçando um caminho singular. Cada móvel, cada canto é um convite à introspecção, a uma pausa na confusão do externo, como se oferecesse um silêncio essencial. A ideia é a de um lugar onde o ato de habitar aconteça de forma simples, sem abrir mão da sofisticação, da atemporalidade e do pertencimento. (Estúdio NY18/CASACOR)
In small environments, less is more. Avoid accumulating items that don't have a specific function or that don't add to the decor. Leave only
elements that are essential or add emotional value.
