How to make small apartment seem so much bigger?

This charming small apartment on Paekalda Street is a perfect canvas for those who appreciate the beauty of tropics and the tranquility of a well-designed space. This modern studio apartment has just 36 square meters to work with. It is a great example of making the most of a small space. Step in!

The key to successful interior design in a small apartment is cohesion. Interior designer Loreida Hein decided to pick modern tropics as the main theme. She used the palm leaf motif as a unifying theme throughout the living room, bedroom, and even balcony. This created a sense of flow and harmony. It makes the apartment feel larger and more connected. The light grey mural wallpaper on the bedroom wall plays a crucial role in this design approach, adding depth to the space without overwhelming it.

The bespoke furniture plays a crucial role in defining the layout and functionality of this small apartment. This custom-made piece acts as both a partition and a multifunctional storage solution. It efficiently divides the kitchen, living room, and bedroom areas. Therefore, it achieves separation without the need for traditional walls.

The Bedroom – Without a Wall

The bedroom, though not separated by a traditional wall, still offers plenty of privacy. The main feature wall is anchored by the Palm Leaf Shadow mural wallpaper. This subtle palm leaf wallpaper design adds a natural, calming vibe, making the space feel open and inviting. The soft grey of the wall mural enhances the room’s warmth and create a peaceful backdrop.

The natural tones and clean lines of the custom pieces seamlessly complement the minimal tropical theme. This ensures that every element of the design works together in harmony. The combination of tropical style mural wallpaper and bespoke furniture transforms the small apartment into a stylish retreat. The result is a perfect blend of beauty and practicality in a compact living space. Remember – it all started with one keyword: modern tropics!
