If you live in an apartment or condo you may find decorating your space to be challenging. This can be especially frustrating if you’re trying to make room for storage space, or furniture. It doesn’t have to be this way however, by trying out a few of these tricks you’ll be on your way to decorating your small space to perfection!
First things first, if you have a small space, use pieces that fit the scale of the place you’re living in. This will actually make your space feel bigger! You may want to consider built-in and modular furniture systems that can be arranged to fit your space wall to wall, as well as floor to ceiling to accommodate all of your storage needs in one area. You’ll also want to opt for items that can be used for multiple things. For instance, an ottoman may be cozy, but an ottoman with a hidden storage unit is better!
