Your Space, Your Story: 5 smart interior hacks for urban living

There is a myth that a nice interior style fully depends on the size of a living space. People does not consider tiny apartments as a place which can be comfortable and at the same time stylish and unique. In this post I want to show you 5 hacks how to transform even small apartment into a voguish area.

1. First of all start with a general space cleaning. Give yourself 1-2 days to get rid of old and unnecessary things or furniture. Even if you think that one day you will use – believe me, you will not. In addition, it could be useful to buy organizer-boxes to decrease “litter level”. After By doing this you will not only reorganize your space, but also set up your thoughts and let in new style ideas.

2. Don’t be afraid to implement colors in your apartment. “Beige life mode” have been already out of fashion for 2 years. Experiments with color accents will bring new energy to your apartment. Furthermore, you can present part of your personality in this way. For instance: if walls are white or beige, do not hesitate to buy a light blue sofa or armchair. This will make a big difference to the look of your room. More about designing your space, that reflects your personality you can find in this post. Below you can find inspiration from Colombo design.

3. Home décor and accessories.  Nowadays there is a huge variety of home décor products – starting from typical candles or paintings, finishing with crazy and unique items as abstract form mirror. Home accessories have 2 main benefits, especially for small flats: you can find it for any budget and they do not take a lot of space at all. My personal recommendation – go to flow/vintage market. In such places you can find rare items for really cheap price. Here I give you some examples interesting accessories from Colombo showroom as well as vintage options.

4. Dark walls. According to Oonagh Turner, design expert, a dark accent wall can really pack a punch, adding a bit of drama to an otherwise lackluster interior and bringing a feeling of glamor and sophistication to a space. But a mere lick of dark paint also holds the power to creating depth in the room, as well as a sense of size and space. Moreover, even “beige” furniture looks much more better with dark walls.

5. Carpets. A carpet isn’t just something soft underfoot—it’s a statement. When a room feels flat, empty, or just meh, adding the right carpet can completely transform the space. Think of it as the bright accent and useful of your interior style: it sets the tone, adds texture, and brings coziness to a room. A carefully chosen rug adds that polished, curated vibe you see in design magazines and Pinterest boards.

I hope this post gave you inspiration for your new design ideas. By the way, it is not too late to get prepared to Easter, so check my previous post about Easter decorations.
