Lend Me A Hand

Modern urban apartments have one thing in common which is the lack of space and while this can be a problem for some people, it can also be a great opportunity to use classic as well as contemporary design principles to achieve a great looking home.

Among the things you should focus on when you have limited space is the use of minimalist accents that highlight not only the best features of your place but also redirect the focus away from its limitations.

Here are the top 5 items to consider when decorating your small home:

Rich Rugs

Putting down a shag brown rug in the living room can turn the area around pretty effectively.  Not only are shag rugs very luxurious by nature but the color brown adds a natural touch that is warm and comforting on any given day.

Floor Mirrors

It is essential to achieve the illusion of space when working with tight quarters.  Placing a floor mirror will successfully complete the illusion of wider spaces and eliminate the feeling of constriction.  These mirrors are not only decorative but also practical as they can be used for grooming as well.

Wall Light Fixtures

Illumination plays a very important role in making small homes look beautiful and richly appealing.  There are a number of light accents you can use to brighten up the living room as well as the hallway, one of which is a wall lantern.

Irregular Shape Furniture

When you are looking to improve your home space, it is wise take advantage of free form style furniture because it attracts much attention.  In more ways than one, free form chairs and tables are a big hit when used in apartments that are quite limited in space as they are visually challenging.

When choosing decorative items, always consider aesthetics as well as practicality.  It is not enough that something is beautiful to look at, it also needs to work well with the given space.
