It's no secret that a small apartment in terms of repair is a real punishment. But even after it is safely completed, the owners face another question - the question of the interior. Contrary to the common misconception, the design of the interior of small apartments, even from specialists, requires a lot of effort and time. However, if you want, you can do it on your own and turn your home into a small paradise.

Small tweaks: expand the space
So, our first task is to visually increase the room. You can achieve this in many different ways. The first and, perhaps, the most expensive, is redevelopment. As practice shows, the most successful interiors for small apartments are obtained in studios. Simply take down the walls (of course, first making a redevelopment), and instead of two cramped little rooms and a tiny kitchen you will become a happy owner of a spacious area, divided into zones - bedroom, study, living room and dining room. The separation can be done with several types of floor covering, lighting, shelving with books or bar counters.

If you are not ready for such bold experiments and want to see something more traditional at home, use the classic technique of all designers - refer to the light palette. There is no doubt that coal-black wallpapers and heavy curtains of dark crimson velvet look luxurious, but such delights should be left for mansions or, at worst, penthouses. Almost all modern interiors of small apartments are built on the use of delicate, pastel shades.

Another secret is mirrors. If you correctly place them, you can achieve a truly amazing effect: the room will look twice as large and, importantly, lighter. It can be a wide mirror in the whole wall or just a wardrobe. Do you want to let in the air? Place the mirror directly in front of the window, or even put two at once - opposite each other. This method is suitable not only for creating an interior of a living room in a small apartment, but also for decorating a bathroom: tile the wall with mirror tiles mixed with ordinary tiles - it will look amazing.
Finally, minimalism in the interior of a small apartment is very popular, which is quite logical: the fewer things you surround - the more empty space you can enjoy.

Bedroom
The interior of the bedroom in a small apartment also leaves room for imagination. For example, this room can be combined with a dressing room: for this purpose it is enough simply to install in it a high cabinet of a compartment with illumination. Do not forget that we are trying to save space. Follow the principles outlined above: a minimum of unnecessary things, wallpaper and curtains of light tones, the rejection of non-functional objects such as chests of drawers and beds with massive carved backs - and your bedroom will turn into a cozy nest.

Kitchen and hallway
Thinking about the interior of the kitchen in a small apartment, it should be remembered that it will simultaneously play the role of a canteen. Therefore, household appliances are better to choose the built-in, the TV is attached to the wall on the brackets, and the dining table is put along the wall. By the way, about the tables. What if we replace the traditional object from the tree with a light glass table, and the usual chairs - with stylish designer stools? All this will allow you to save a place that can be used more rationally - for example, to install a washing machine.

As for the hallway , here you have to literally fight for every centimeter. However, you can also cope with this: high shelves for small items made on an individual order, directional lamps, mirrors in light wooden frames, metal elements in decoration - these are the cornerstones on which the interior of the hallway is kept in a small apartment.
