5 Styling Tricks That Make a Small Apartment Feel Bigger

Good things come in small packages and we happen to think this holds true for homes as well. Small apartments can have big potential and, with the right styling tricks, they can feel just as calm and comfortable as bigger homes. 

Here are some of our favorite ways to make the most of small spaces. 

Choose colors that feel expansive

The color palette you select for your home will have a major impact on how the space feels. We love dark colors for creating a cozy, intimate space, but if you’re looking to make a small apartment feel bigger, it’s best to steer clear of them. You’re better off choosing light, cool colors, as they have the effect of opening up a room, making the ceiling seem higher and the corners deeper. 

Here’s an insider tip. Paint chips don’t tell the whole story of how a color will look in all its glory on a wall. Many people have chosen what they think is a light, subtle color based on a chip only to find it is much darker and more dramatic when it is applied from floor to ceiling.  

Instead of taping up paint chips to your wall to test how they’ll look, get small samples from the store (they usually cost less than ten dollars) and paint a 12” by 12” patch on your wall. This will give you a better sense of what it will feel like to live with the color. 

Make use of multi-functional furniture

Since even a small amount of clutter or excess items can make a small apartment feel cramped and messy, it’s key to be intentional about the furniture you choose. One of the best ways to make sure you’re getting the most out of your furniture choices is to go for pieces that can be used in multiple ways. For example, ottomans that double as storage give you somewhere to put your feet (or additional seating) as well as secret places to stash blankets, magazines, or whatever you want to keep close at hand but out of view. 

Another smart strategy is to look for seating options that you can configure in different ways. Find furniture you like in order to open up a ton of possibilities for arranging the room in different ways. The great thing about modular seating is that all the pieces match, so whether they’re assembled into one large piece or scattered around the room as separates, the room still feels polished and put together. 

Get reflective with mirrors 

This tip is nothing new. But it has stood the test of time because it works. Putting mirrors in a small space instantly increases the sense of volume by reflecting light and objects, making everything feel twice as big. 

There are lots of different ways you can make use of mirrors. A classic approach is to mount a large framed mirror on the wall with the most surface area. You can also simply stand a framed mirror against a wall to achieve the same room-widening effect. 

If you want to get creative, choose a coffee table or end table with a mirror for its top surface, or create your own by simply placing a beveled plate mirror on top of an existing table. Mirrored mobiles or chandeliers are another stunning way to add elegance to a room while adding the illusion of space. 

Reach for new heights

You’re missing out on a lot of decorating potential if you don’t look up to the top third of your apartment. You can make a space feel much bigger by drawing attention to the height of the room. 

Put up wallpaper that has a vertical stripe motif (taking care to remember the importance of color choice and subtlety) or hang artwork that draws the eye upward. A floor-to-ceiling bookshelf will also emphasize the grandeur of a room by creating visual interest above eye level. 

Reconsider curtains and rugs

What you decide not to include in your space can be just as important as what you do include. If you’re going for airy and spacious, curtains and rugs should probably be in the former category. While they do add flair and character to a room, they also tend to add visual clutter, which is magnified in close quarters. 

To cover your windows, vertical or horizontal blinds will do the trick and have the added benefit of drawing up or to the side neatly and more or less out of sight. 

The same goes for rugs. They do have a place in the world of home decor, just not in rooms where the goal is to open up space, not fill it in. A small accent rug here and there can be a nice touch, but anything more than that will start to take over the room.

Final thoughts

Now more than ever, it’s important that our homes beplaces where we can relax and feel at ease. Small apartments are an exciting design challenge that, when handled well, feel just as spacious and airy as much bigger spaces, and provide that much-needed sanctuary from the stress of the world.

Ryan Serhant Partners w/ NYC Dept. of Sanitation This Earth Day

SERHANT. Studios

On April 16, Ryan Serhant, founder and CEO of SERHANT. and star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York, and his eponymous brokerage partnered with the NYC Department of Sanitation’s Foundation and Make a Change World, an environmental non-profit organization, for a spring cleaning of the streets of Manhattan. Approximately 100 volunteers were in attendance to clean up an area of Manhattan identified by the Department of Sanitation as most in-need: Union Square Park and 14th Street between 4th Avenue and 8th Avenue.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, service provided by the NYC Department of Sanitation has been affected by city-wide budget cuts. During 2020, the Department’s budget was cut by $106 million, and litter basket service was reduced by over 60%. Although baseline funding was restored in March 2021, litter issues remain a concern as NYC pursues recovery.

In addition to helping with clean up efforts, SERHANT. made a sizable donation to the NYC Department of Sanitation’s Foundation.  There were nine other SERHANT.-inspired Spring Cleaning events globally last week from Boston to Bali.

The Department of Sanitation collects trash from approximately 25,000 litter baskets across the City, and uses mechanical brooms to sweep the curbs anywhere from one to six times weekly, depending on the street. New Yorkers are reminded to never litter – and that corner baskets are for small items like coffee cups and wrappers, never for household or business trash.

The West

Caspi Development, a leader in the development of residential and commercial properties, today announced the launch of leasing at The West, located at 144 West Street near the East River waterfront in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Inspired by the neighborhood’s industrial past, GF55 Architects designed the seven-story boutique building with a façade clad primarily in red brick. It features 22 apartments, seven of which are part of the Affordable New York program.

Pricing for market rate residences starts at $3,035 for one-bedrooms, and $4,000 for two-bedrooms. Corcoran New Development is the exclusive leasing agent.

Amenities include a top-floor residents’ lounge overlooking the East River and Manhattan skyline, with direct access to a roof deck for outdoor entertaining or relaxing. Apartments feature herringbone wood floors, Bosch cooktops and microwaves, and Kohler fixtures.

“It is exciting to see another great property added to the Greenpoint waterfront. This former industrial zone continues to evolve and provide Greenpointers greater access to the East River,” said David J. Maundrell III, EVP, New Development at Corcoran.

The building is located just one block from the India Street landing for the East River Ferry to Midtown Manhattan or the Financial District, enabling residents to commute to and from work in minutes. It is also one block from the G train, with easy access to the L and 7 trains.

Move-ins are scheduled to begin in June 2021 at the property, which was developed by Caspi Development, Barone Management, and Matt Development.

“144 West Street is prominently positioned in one of the most desirable and vibrant locations in Greenpoint, with superior access to Manhattan as well as the surrounding Williamsburg and Long Island City neighborhoods,” said Joshua Caspi, Principal of Caspi Development
