While researching design ideas for my small apartment, I came across the following tips:

• Include vertical storage by adding a vintage ladder to hold placemats, towels, quilts, and blankets.

• Make use of the tops of your bookcases, and doorways to showcase treasures, add lighting, or lean frames.

• For both seating and storage, install a coffee table with integrated storage or a convertible sofa.

Organising your belongings and using your valuable floor space can be achieved by installing wall-mounted cabinets and shelving units.

Also, try to choose hanging and wall-mounted lights over floor lamps.

• As softer hues make a small apartment look bigger and brighter, so apply light colour paints on the walls and floor. 

• You can also select light-colored furniture, and curtains for your small flat. It will give your space a sense of expansion. 

• Make thoughtful placement of mirrors to create the illusion of a larger area. 

• According to my research, I found that putting mirror opposite a window or next to a light source can reflect light and give the impression of depth.
