Argued that in a small apartment is difficult to arrange everything so that it was practical and pleasing to the eye. Many designers prefer to avoid orders, if the square meters in the house are too small.
Nevertheless, we have collected 16 clever tricks that will help you competently and beautifully arrange a small apartment.

Furniture made of transparent glass and plastic.

2. Small parts
Terms of use of small parts.
Decor objects are fine, but if we are talking about tiny spaces, they should be used very carefully. In small rooms, it is better to limit to a few paintings and a couple of photos, leaving room for important and functional items. Small trinkets, such as scented candles, figurines and toys are best kept in cabinets. The abundance of such things will create a sense of chaos and disorder.
3. Open shelves
Open shelves and color schemes.
Open shelves will help to add space to a small room and provide additional storage space. However, such a solution is suitable only for those who are able to maintain perfect order in them. Ideally, place on the shelves several knick-knacks of one bright shade, which will also be present in textile elements.
4. Light shades
The color scheme of the room.
Despite the mystery and intimacy that can be created with the help of dark shades, the owners of small rooms should better choose light ones. White, beige and light gray wallpaper will help to visually enlarge the room, and in combination with the furniture of the same shades will create a feeling of free space.
Light monophonic furniture.
Remember, dark tones of upholstery and patterns make the furniture heavier, visually increasing its dimensions. Such furniture will create a feeling of congested space. For small rooms it is better to choose uncluttered furniture with a monotone neutral upholstery. And so that the room does not look faceless and boring, add a few juicy details, like bright-colored silk pillows or a soft plaid with a spectacular pattern.
6. Curtains
