**Small in space, big on style: How to decorate your small city apartment**

Tiny houses, which were earlier considered unsuitable to live in compared to their more sprawling counterparts, are now all the rage as people are discovering the holistic benefits of going tiny with their dwellings. Be it studio or capsule apartments, multi-functional spaces or even a house-on-the-move, decorating any small space doesn’t necessarily call for you scrunching on the personality of the space. It is more than possible to add personality, luxury, as well as functionality to your space without making it feel and look cluttered and chaotic.

**Multi-functional furniture**

When it comes to a small space, make every inch count with dual function furniture which allow you to make the furniture work for your space, as opposed to styling it as per the furniture. [Space saving tables and chairs](https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/product/arbor-decor-bow-chair), couches that double up as guest beds, and ottomans with hollow space for storage, there’s a lot you can do to make your space look stylish and make every corner functional. When choosing living room furniture for small spaces make sure you pick size-appropriate pieces as opposed to something too grand that can overwhelm your space. Many furniture and decor companies customise furniture for micro apartments.

**Make the light work**

The last thing your tiny home requires is darkness. Open up as many sources of natural light as possible to give the space an illusion of a size bigger than it actually is. After sundown, you can rely on the wisely situated lights in your home, like a stunning pendant light, a ceiling fixture, sconces, or the good old table lamps. This will ensure that your home never looks dark and hence, smaller. Explore homegrown **[luxury home decor](https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/category/home-decor)** brands who will work with you to understand your home, and help you choose the best kind of light for the space. 

**Create designated areas**

While an open space might seem lucrative at first, consider delineating spaces according to their function. Lay a rug under the table and chair you work in to make that your floating office. Similarly, put an entryway rug, your shoe rack and a coat hanger near the door to define the entrance for your guests. 
Mirror mirror on the wall

If your home doesn’t have enough natural light sources, use the few (or the one?) you have and capitalise on the light with the help of mirrors. Place a big mirror on the wall opposite the light source or get creative by placing different mirrors of varied sizes and shapes to reflect the light around the room, making it look brighter and bigger. 
Go vertical 

Since you have limited floor space in a small apartment, economize on every bit of it by keeping your storage spaces off the floor. Wall-hanging shelves and other vertical storage solutions will be your best friend. Living room furniture for small spaces can even consist of a floor-to-ceiling entertainment unit that you can use as a space divider between your living room and your bedroom. 

**The right sized rug**

A rug adds to the character of a space, so it is only natural that you opt for a rug that covers the larger area of your floor as opposed to a small one which looks out of space and makes the space look incoherent. You can either opt for a wall-to-wall rug or one that covers most of your furniture. 
Don’t be afraid to go bold

While it is true that wise decor decisions can make even the smallest space look full of life, character, and even bigger than reality, you should also trust your impulse to add pieces that are special to you. Perhaps a big vase that was handed down to you, or a piece of art gifted to you by a friend. No matter what the piece may be, or how bold, you can always find space for it even in the smallest square feet. 
Lastly, let your home breathe

No matter how many stunning pieces you invest in from luxury home decor brands, if your furniture is pushed up against each other or you can’t see your walls behind all the decor, then it is highly unlikely that your house will look and feel like a home. Give it space to breathe, leave a wall empty, and some space to walk around in your home. 

A house becomes a home with the presence of people, and objects close to their hearts, and not by more space and decor that doesn’t hold sentimental value. When it comes to a small home, you can use the space to fill it with pieces that have value beyond just functional and aesthetic, and make it look like a space that you look forward to coming back to everyday.
