Interior design tips for small Brooklyn apartments and condos: color, multi-functional furniture, mirrors, lighting and storage that feel high-end.
Edit before you decorate
Luxury in a small space comes from restraint. Fewer, better pieces and clear surfaces make a room feel calm and intentional.
Use color confidently
Small rooms don't have to be white. A rich, enveloping color on walls and trim can make a bedroom or den feel deliberate and cozy rather than cramped.
Make furniture work twice
Extendable dining tables, storage beds, nesting tables and wall-mounted desks give back floor space. Raise furniture on legs so more floor shows.
Reflect and layer light
A large mirror opposite a window doubles daylight. Replace a single ceiling fixture with lamps, sconces and picture lights for warmth in the evening.
