Six Modern Apartment Ideas to Make Your Apartment Look Brighter – Make your space feel bigger!

White walls are always on-trend and chic, plus they are also an interior designer trick to make a room feel clean, bright, and open. Opting to pair the white walls with neutral-toned colours, leather, wood, or woven textures when it comes to furniture will further make the apartment definitely feel larger without sacrificing the welcoming warmth of earthy tones. When it comes to choosing colour palettes for upholstery, décor and artwork consider choosing colorful accents to add depth to your living spaces.

When it comes to decorating a small apartment, saying goodbye to heavy-duty blinds and blackout curtains is a definite must. The use of simple, sheer curtains or even woven shards will let light in and make the room appear brighter while still providing plenty of privacy, without darkening your home. This holds especially true for windows that face the south and west directions, which tend to naturally receive more natural lighting.

If your home features low ceilings, do consider choosing white shade pendant light to avoid visually cluttering your rooms. Adding visual height doesn't require creating more living space. Opting to add this type of light fixture is a great way to add a sense of height to draw the eye up to make a space feel larger, with the fixture blending into the ceiling and making the room feel airy and spacious from top to bottom.

Another beloved interior designing trick is to use mirrors strategically to make small spaces appear larger. By bouncing natural light across the space, adding large mirrors is a clever way to brighten up low-light areas. For a uniform and elegant vibe, consider matching the living room's mirror's finish to the coffee table. When working with small, dark hallways or corners of rooms that don't have much natural light, add full-length floor mirrors that span the wall's height to add visual space.

If your apartment lacks those gorgeous views such as those afforded by most Colombo apartments such as the likes of Cinnamon Life, you can bring the outdoor indoors by simply adding plants to your décor strategy. If you don't have much of a green thumb, simply opt for faux plants to the interior for a refreshing touch of colour without the upkeep.

If you don't have a dedicated home office space, why not try creating a multipurpose dining area and office by cleverly utilising storage and accessories. A nook in the corner of a living room can serve as either a compact family dining table or a comfortable officer table. Strategic lighting and comfortable chairs or stools can keep the space functional.
