Interior design of 300 sq. ft. small flat|8 useful tips for designing your new home

As the city’s housing prices continue to escalate, many people are opting for small flats. However, that doesn’t mean you have no control over the interior design and couldn’t cosy up your apartment. We’re here to help you make the best use of every inch of space and transform your poky flat into an intimate space you can call home.

Tips for interior design of small flats

1. Use glass partitions to add dimension

Glass partition is a must for small flats! Not only are they thinner and more space-saving than wood panels, but they also give the room dimension and a touch of sophistication. If you want some privacy, just add a curtain and pull it up to create a more personal space.

2. Switch up wall colours to divide spaces

If you’re living alone, you might want to try the open concept room design, which omits the need for partitions. You simply have to paint the walls of the living room, kitchen and bedroom in different colours to visually separate each space. This will make the space feel less cramped and closed-off.

3. Add a loft with high ceilings

Although many subdivided flats are small, they have extra-high ceilings. Residents can consider making use of the space by adding a loft and turning it into a stylish bedroom. Keep in mind to add a wooden fence to the loft bed to avoid accidents.
