Here are some tips for making your small apartment seem larger than it is.

1. Choose your paint color wisely.
When choosing the color palette for a small room, choose a light color for the walls, and instead, jazz up the room with accessories in bold colors. Let the walls ‘fade-away’, and your eye travel to the objects that contain your favorite colors.

2. Paint horizontal stripes that are similar in color.If the room lacks area, paint it with large horizontal stripes that are similar in color.
If your space has low ceilings, paint vertical stripes. This gives the illusion of a taller space.

Play with different thicknesses and different spacing between the stripes throughout the room for a fun and spontaneous look.

3. Choose the right furniture.This is important. Measure your space before buying anything, and use masking tape to block out areas of an empty room that you would feel comfortable filling. Use the space for a couple of days and decide if the size of the boxed-out areas feels okay.
Bring a tape measure to the furniture store. Ask the salesperson if the furniture on the showroom floor comes in different sizes or is customizable. Also, be open to choosing something that is different than the original idea you had in your mind.

Will be back with more. Meanwhile if you have any please do share it with us.

If you are planning to renovate your home follow these simple tips to create a brand new BEDROOM for you:

Ever heard of relaxing bedrooms? Wouldn’t you want yours to be a place where you can actually rest? Then you need a room where energy can flow and where you can relax and think. But how? Lighting is very important. Windows should be wide and open: if there’s a garden outside, take advantage of it; everything green is only good for your mental well-being. For your walls, choose light colors, and with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Also, choose furniture that you find comfortable: few will ever get into your room, so it’s better to privilege comfort over looks.
