Rising property prices together with budget constraints often means having to let go of that dream of a beautiful big house and investing in the reality of a small apartment. However, there is no reason why a small home cannot be beautiful as well! All it takes is a bit of careful planning and an eye for design to attain optimum functionality with no compromise on elegance and style! Today we’ll head to pretty Paris to take a look at a small apartment of 710 square metres. The project, undertaken by the skilled team of interior architects at Blackstones, is nothing less than inspiration in small houses! Let’s take a tour of this very trendy and functional home, and glean 7 design tricks for small homes!

1. ​Sliding doors

Sliding doors are ideal for a small residence – they take up much less space than a regular door and also allow much more natural light to enter. Notice how subtly the sliding doors separate the living and dining areas from the rest of the house!

2. ​Neutral colours, vibrant accents

Where the colour theme is concerned, light hues are the way to go! White or beige tones are ideal for a small home since they create the illusion of space and brightness. Once you have a light background, add a few lively accent notes like the vivid orange panels in this picture. Another way to heighten a sense of spaciousness is through floor-length curtains that make the windows appear bigger.

3. ​Kitchen corners

Note the clever use of the oft-neglected kitchen corners, and the ingenious corner-mounted faucet that saves countertop space! The stainless steel appliances reflect light and make the kitchen look brighter and roomier. The wooden countertop and marble splashback are perfect for a stylish look.

4. ​Simple bedroom

The master bedroom is a lesson in refined simplicity. The focus is the extra-large bed and a very stylish wall-mounted light. The wooden furniture is minimalist and elegant.

5. ​Linear style

Streamlined, linear furniture is ideal when constrained for space. Custom-fitted furniture along the walls and snug little shelves help achieve a simple, stylish, clutter-free look in a small space.

6. ​Using a common wall

The entrance and the bathroom share a common wall that may form the back of a hall cupboard! The entrance is simply furnished in white and wood, with two uniquely designed pieces of furniture.

7. ​Marble tiles in the bathroom
