The way we live is ever evolving and over recent years we have seen a large increase in the amount of people living in apartments in the UK. City centre living is ultra cool and is becoming more and more popular. However living in an apartment is very different to living in a more traditional house. One of the biggest challenges of living in an apartment is when it comes to decorating. Apartments tend to be much smaller than traditional houses and therefore styles which suit a house will not necessarily suit an apartment.
When it comes to choosing colours it is safer to go for light natural colours as these will help to reflect the light and make the room feel bigger than it actually is. You can use accessories such as cushions and rugs to add bold colours and patterns and the best thing about doing this is that you can change these easily to give your room a new look without having to redecorate.
The furniture is a key feature in any home and this particularly important in apartments. In apartments where space is at a premium then the general rule is less is more, think about the pieces of furniture you actually need. One of the most important pieces of furniture is the sofa. Currently very popular are corner sofas as they provide the maximum amount of seating for the space used. There are many styles of corner sofa available and leather sofas are a good idea as they are very hard wearing and easy to maintain whilst providing a modern contemporary look.
Often natural light in apartments is restricted and by installing lots of lights you can significantly change the appearance and mood of a room. By using a mixture of ceiling lights, floor lamps and table lamps you can give the illusion of space and height to a room.
With all the opportunities of a big city right on your door step it is not surprising that apartment living has become so popular. However sometimes the hustle and bustle of city life can be very draining and your home should be a retreat and a place where you go to escape from the stresses of life.
