Maximize Tiny Space with Genius Small Apartment Hacks

Lighting and Color Schemes

The right lighting and color scheme can dramatically affect how spacious your apartment feels. Light colors, such as whites and pastels, reflect more light, making spaces appear larger and more open. Natural light is another powerful tool; keep windows unobstructed to let in as much daylight as possible. For artificial lighting, consider layered lighting with a mix of floor lamps, table lamps, and ceiling lights to create depth and warmth. These strategies are widely recommended by interior design experts¹.
