Living in a compact apartment doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. In fact, small spaces challenge you to think smart.

First, choose multi-purpose furniture—think sofa beds, ottomans with hidden storage, or dining tables that fold out when guests arrive. Use mirrors cleverly to double the sense of space. Vertical shelving is your secret weapon; stack up, not out!

Natural light makes everything look larger, so avoid heavy curtains. Try airy sheers or simple blinds. For colour, lighter palettes open up rooms, but a pop of bold colour—maybe on a feature wall—adds personality.

If you love art or books, create a gallery wall using floating shelves. Even compact corners can become cozy reading nooks with a slim chair and a lamp.

And if you’re a techie, embrace smart home solutions—wireless lighting, sleek modular furniture, and wall-mounted gadgets keep clutter out of sight.
