What are the tips and tricks to maximize the space of your small apartment and make it cosy at the same time?

MAXIMISE THE SPACE BY: Using a light colour palette (beige, whites) to give your apartment more depth and make it appear visually larger. Using tall drapes instead of mini sheer curtains to give you an illusion of more vertical space in the apartment. Using the concept of ‘levels’ in your small apartment to make it feel airy, less cluttered and more organised. Using multifunctional and closed storage solutions to accommodate more types of items in one single space. Using folding furniture and couches, coffee tables, box beds and ottomans that can double up as storage space. Using rugs/carpets to define and demarcate each specific area/zone in the room. Lining one of your walls with a large mirror to reflect the light around the home and make it feel more spacious. Clearing the floor space by using floating nightstands and shelves to avoid accidental falls, etc. Using wall lights and sconces as lighting fixtures instead of floor lamps. MAKE THE SPACE COSY BY: Using a glass/wooden screen or partition curtains to segregate different spaces without feeling claustrophobic. Using sliding doors for a perfect balance of privacy and elegance, and the right amount of natural sunlight. Using flush mount lights or pendant lights for a bright and cosy atmosphere in your living space. Avoiding the habit of keeping less or no space between various furniture pieces. Let your home breathe freely. Using a warm colour palette and a brightly coloured rug that is large enough to fit almost all your furniture on it. Using decor pieces/cushions that help keep the apartment’s theme cohesive. Play around with textures too. Using fewer statement pieces with regular-sized furniture to draw the viewer’s eye. Play with the concept of ‘scale’. Using a ceiling-high bookshelf that also serves as a partition wall whenever you need it for your privacy. Using furniture pieces that help you make the most optimum use of corner spaces like corner couches, side tables.
