Interior Design gets into every type of spaces, no matter how small it is. This is what we will be talking about today: how do you make the best of your small apartment. 

One good question is what is the approach with small spaces? the answer is pretty simple, use of limited amount of furniture and appropriate use of the spacial space. A good strategy to make a space look bigger is to go minimalist on the number and size of the furniture to be use. Another good idea is the use of the shelves, bookshelves and accessories to be used high on the walls or the ceiling.

For a living room on a small apartment I would go with a sofa according to the size of the room, usually one measuring less than 2 meters and the use of very simple armchair. Sometimes you can only need a couple of armchairs and a coffee table and that's it. The rest is just the use of accessories and details, like lamps, a couple of stools that could work as side tables and as a sit when needed.

When you have a small apartment you will try to get a good use of every single are while taking into consideration that you don't want the space to look like a locker. working with a small apartment requires a lot of creativity. Figure out what exactly each room will be use for, your lifestyle, are  there kids involved, do you need extra storage? All  will depend on what you need. It's all possible, you just need to be open to the possibilities and your budget.
