Embrace Maximalism

It’s tempting to limit the amount of stuff in a small space, but that’s not always necessary. There’s no reason your small apartment shouldn’t match your maximalist style.

This bold living room by @thefrankiedlc features dark walls, neon trim, a bright pink sofa, and even a mini refrigerator. But thanks to the clever layout, the room feels welcoming and cozy instead of cramped.

Accent With Pattern

This small-but-chic living room by @katelynsailor is mostly done in white, including the walls, sofa and coffee table. White can make a small space feel bigger and brighter. Bold patterns in the pillows, accessories, rug and artwork create the perfect balance of sophisticated and fun.  No one would ever call this room bland. Even a tiny apartment can be tidy and organized with these creative and renter-friendly storage solutions.

Minimalist Design

This small apartment living room by @kate_aubrey_creative is all about minimalist design. Limiting the amount of accessories and artwork in a small space makes it feel open and airy.

Allow your room to breathe by selecting furniture with clean lines and solid colors instead of busy patterns. To avoid the room looking too stark, layer textures, add a plant and use a pop of color like the red cabinet and light fixture seen here.
