Smart interior design offers many tricks to make a space feel and look larger. Because space comes at a premium in New York City, which famously has some of the highest rents and housing prices in the country, you can apply some of these tips to your small NYC studio apartment.
1. Install curtains. To make the room look taller, hang curtains above the window as far as they can go, so that they run from ceiling to floor.
2. Use rugs. Rugs are a great way to divide spaces in a studio apartment. Use one rug for the dining area, the living area, the bedroom, and so on.
3. Hang lights. Rather than taking up space with floor lamps or table lamps, considering installing wall lamps, which provide light and save room.
