Furnishing one bedroom apartments can be a challenge but with the right furniture that blends utility and style, one could get ample space that would be as inviting as a four-bedroom villa. Here are a few ideas to furnish your one bedroom apartments –

Furniture

Selecting the right furniture goes a long way in creating an inviting space and where one bedroom apartments are concerned, one needs to keep the utility aspect in mind. Multi-purpose furniture is the best bet for limited space. You need to opt for furniture that keeps the storage aspect in mind and it must have more than one function. For example, you could opt for seating that allows you to store books and magazines underneath. You could also open up more space in the living room by arranging the seating in a corner preferably overlooking the window. One way to get more out of seating in the living room is to create a banquette that can double up as a dining room seats. All you need to do is pull up a table across the banquette!

Colours

Bold colours and vivid hues bring small spaces dramatically to life. Go for bold strokes of colours; purple, yellow, bright green that would give the illusion of space. If painting the interiors are not an option, then you could bring in the colour using accessories. Drapes, furniture, cushions, upholstery, there are various options to bring in vivid colours to the forefront. Area rugs can be used to incorporate monochrome colours and patterns and they help to create clear lines to demarcate spaces and nooks within the living room.

Inviting entry

One can’t expect a stunning foyer when they step into one bedroom apartments, but you could surprise them with a large closed cabinet to store footwear. The top of the cabinet can be used a mantle to showcase art, curios or even an antique mirror. Mirrors can be used to create an illusion of a larger space and decorative mirrors are pieces of art in their own right.

Focal Point

The rule of the thumb in interior decoration is to create a focal point that would set the style of the room. In large villas, foyer could be the focal point with stunning chandeliers that would give the right idea of ornate grandeur that could be expected in the rest of the space. In one bedroom apartments, the focal point can be the entertainment nook. A large TV cabinet with a wall mounted TV and comfortable couches around would be more than inviting.

Creative Touches

Rental apartments are tough to makeover because of contractual restrictions, but that need not deter your creative touches. If the sink is an out-dated model then you can work around by draping skirt that would effectively hide it and hang towels around it. Adapt your apartment to suit the style that you want. It just takes wee bit of creativity to do that.
