    Default decorating small apartment?

    So I'm finally done with roommates, and am getting a place of my own.

    I found a nice apartment in a fantastic area that is reasonably priced, but it is tiny.

    It's a one-bedroom, but the bedroom and "living area" are very small.

    I'm looking for design ideas for small spaces (especially pictures)...any suggestions?

    Have you ever checked out craftster.org? they have a home section and a subcategory dedicated to decor. It's all DIY though... dunno if you're into that. But a lot of posts are from people with small spaces or apartments they can't make permanent changes to. Again though... depends on if you just wanna go spend the money and buy everything new or if you're a DIY type. Can you post pics of things that you like or that fit your taste?

    1. Buy plastic crates to store stuff under your bed.
    2. Go through your stuff and donate things you haven't used (and may never use) to charity. This makes room for new things that may actually be helpful to you.
    3. Simple things like blankets and pillows, a lamp and plants can decorate a room. You don't need to buy everything right away or even match everything perfectly. Go to swap meets and flea markets. Buy things you like.

    Also, if you don't like the feeling of a room painting the walls can make a world of difference. I don't like white walls. They feel cold and sterile to me. I painted my current home beige and it makes me happy. It feels warm and comfortable. You can also do accent walls.

    An accent wall creates depth in a small space. Also, a large oversized couch in the living area will make the room appear larger, as long as it doesn't take up the whole room.

    Go to IKEA.Perfect designs and ideas for small apartements.People in europe usually live in tiny spaces and look for ideas to use the most out of it.The store is the best for that and very cheap too!
    I love living in small places,easier to clean!

    Instead of pictures on the walls try hanging shelves and use them to store some infrequently used items or books. This will have double duty as storage and decor.
