Small Apartment Renovation Ideas
Make Way for Natural Light
The best thing for a small space is ensuring there is enough natural light to brighten the area. Darker apartments are going to feel closed in and claustrophobic, which is why it’s always best to add windows where possible, or simply get rid of any obstructions that may be diluting any light that has the potential to be filtering through.
Repurpose Your Kitchen
Adding a modern touch to your kitchen is another one of our great small apartment renovation ideas. Whether you’re living in your apartment or it’s simply an investment, a beautiful and functional kitchen is going to add considerable value. Lifting the look can include repainting your cabinetry, replacing your sink with something deeper and more sleek, and updating your appliances to something smarter and more energy efficient.
Multifunctional Designs
Consider implementing designs that are multifunctional instead of serving only one purpose. For example, a built-in kitchen island that you can also use as a dinner table. These are becoming increasingly popular in small apartment designs, giving you the option to tuck your chairs all the way under the tables and use it as an island bench (making food prep so much easier) and using it as a place to eat on weeknights or when your friends/family are over. These tables are generally attached to the wall right by your kitchen, conveniently situated for all lifestyles.
Light Colour Scheme
Painting the interior of a small space is a brilliant way to completely open up the zone. If you’re apartment is feeling claustrophobic or small, and you feel like there is potential for that to change, a lick of paint is going to completely change the game. The best thing to invest in are natural shades, as this is going to mimic more expansive areas within the apartment, but also create a calming environment. It’s also going to be a lot easier for you to furnish each room, as natural tones blend easier with furnishings and additional colour.
Studio Apartment Renovation Ideas
Consider Your Layout
Studio apartments are an acquired taste, and although they may seem hard to furnish or design, there are a multitude of ways to manipulate the space. The first step in studio apartment renovation ideas is to consider the layout. Now, we know you probably think of a simple square layout when it comes to a studio, however, they come in an array of floorplans. Looking at the floorplan on paper is the best thing you can do, and having a few copies is going to help – this gives you the opportunity to play around with the layout, drawing in walls/furnishings an additional design ideas to get your renovation journey started.
Monochromatic Colours
When your renovations have finished and you’re up to furnishing the space, implementing a monochromatic colour scheme and minimalistic design is going to pull your zone together perfectly. A studio apartment is one space that can really benefit from a more simplistic approach, as this is going to allow you to make the most of each and every inch. If you’re unsure about what monochromatic colours are, it simply means using different tones and variations of one single colour throughout your furnishings and décor items.
Keep Things Simple
There are an abundance of tips and tricks when it comes to keeping your studio apartment simple. If you’re someone who loves patterns, bold colours, textures and so on, try to use this as a feature wall in either against a portion of the wall where your sofa/television sits, or behind your bed. This is the best way to create a dedicated ‘zone’, creating an illusion of a room in a space with little to no dividers. Renovating a studio can be tricky, which is why it’s best to contact a professional to ensure it’s being done the right way.
