What to Do in a Small Apartment

Published July 11, 2012

So, you couldn’t afford a luxury condo, or a penthouse, or a spacious apartment… and now you’re stuck in a tiny studio with a miniature kitchen and a window looking at a wall.  Well, it might be a bit cramped, but there’s a lot you can do with a small apartment, so don’t worry.

  1. Use adjustable furniture – Couches that fold into beds, ottomans that can store DVDs, and desks that double as dining room tables can give your small place some flexibility.
  2. Use mirrors and windows – Mirrors and windows are great ways to make a place appear more spacious.
  3. Make it bright and comfortable – What’s the difference between cramped and cozy? In this mover’s mind, just the details.  If a place looks inviting and has comfortable seating, people will like it, even if it’s small.  However, if it looks like a shed used for ice fishing, then maybe not so much.  Use lighting, color, and furniture to make your small apartment more inviting.
