Breathtaking skyscrapers and highly advanced apartment complexes are an integral part of Dubai's cityscape. The evolution of urban living has increased the requirement for compact living spaces in some Dubai apartments. As a result, construction of more and more apartment complexes continues in cosmopolitan Dubai.

Starting a new life in Dubai is  the dream of many, however, the ever increasing cost of living is something everyone needs to consider. Often accommodation is one of the largest expenses in Dubai and as a result, smaller spaces are often more affordable. However, living comfortably in small spaces comes with its own set of challenges. Having said that, there are a myriad of creative options for the smaller living space. We can help with luxury residential design solutions and this post covers some options for making the most of these limited spaces. Read on for some suggestions on how to create a beautiful and functional smaller living area that reflects your taste and style.

Multifunctional Furniture For Smart Space Saving

What takes up the most space in an apartment? Obviously, it’s the furniture, right? Furniture is essential for comfortable living, regardless of the size of your space.  However, too much furniture can make your rooms feel overcrowded and stifling. Sometimes less really is more.

Installing multifunctional furniture that serves more than one purpose, can save space without compromising comfort or quality. Foldaway tables, sliding dividers, beds and sofas with in built storage, mobile coffee tables and more can all add style, luxury and practicality to the smaller living space.

Vertical Storage Options

In smaller Dubai apartments with limited floor space, installing floor cabinets or wardrobes that take up that valuable floor space is not ideal. Cabinets standing on floors occupy a lot of space that ideally we want to keep clear.  Instead, let’s look at vertical storage solutions like hanging cabinets, wall mounted bookshelves and wall mounted storage shelves. These allow you to make use of the otherwise unused wall space and preserve your super precious floor space.

Maximise Your Space With Colour and Light

The impact of colour and light on a room is often underestimated. The use of specific colours and the placement of lights can make a room feel larger than it actually is. Whilst they can’t physically make the space bigger, they can help to make it appear so. Which is often a big plus for the resident and also anyone visiting them. Light colours like whites, beiges, and pastels reflect natural and artificial light, brightening up rooms while giving the feeling of a lighter, more open and airy space. Consider these colours for your bedrooms and living room, and strategically place lights to enhance the sense of space.

Space Planning For An Uncluttered Environment

A well-thought-out layout is the key to maximising the limited space available in your Dubai apartment. Open-plan living area ideas will enable you to create a sense of flow and make small spaces feel larger. However, making the most of those awkward smaller areas will also enhance the overall feel of your space. Too much furniture can be overwhelming but not just too much, the size of it is important too. As much as you might like that sofa, it could be just too big for your space. The minimalist approach, with custom sized furniture can help maintain an uncluttered open environment.
