1. What do you want it to be? If you want your home to be a tranquil oasis in a busy world, are your colors soothing or do they shout? If you want a fun place for friends to gather, do you have plenty of seating?

2. What are your main hobbies and activities? What do you need for these activities? For instance, if you have a collection that you work on often, get storage containers for it that can be easily opened or put away. If it’s a lot of trouble to get at your collection, you either won’t spend the time on it, or else might be tempted to leave it out and risk losing or breaking certain pieces.

3. Who will be using the space? How many people will be living there? What ages? It’s important for every person to have a space that’s their own. Whether it’s a special chair, couch, desk or a section of a room, everyone needs ‘their space’. If you’re planning to do video aerobics, you’ll need room to move around in front of the TV!

4. What about your things? It’s easy to become very messy if things don’t have a place. A small filing cabinet is a must for many people – it’s a great place to store all the papers that you don’t know what to do with!

5. How much do you really need? Too much furniture makes a room seem crowded. The bare essentials are a couch and chair, a table and chairs for eating, a bed and place for your clothes. After that, think hard about what you need or don’t need. Will you really use that computer desk – or would you rather sit on the couch with a laptop?

6. Think about the traffic flow. You want to be able to walk anywhere in the room without bumping into furniture. Try drawing furniture placement on paper as a first step.

7. Pick a focal point. What do you want to see when your first walk in the room? If you have nice windows with great lighting, are you emphasizing it? Everyone feels brighter in sunshine.

8. Think about order and organization. Do you bring home work every day, or mail, or sports equipment? Where will you put it? A large bowl or box near the front door is a great place to drop mail until you go through it later.

9. Take advantage of free expert advice. Every store and every product line employs professional designers to put furniture and accessories together. If you’re unsure of your decorating skills, pick a design you like. Study how they did it either by looking through a catalogue or going to a store. It’s all there assembled and displayed for you. If you like the look, simply do what they’ve done!

If you live in a place that doesn’t allow many changes, it doesn’t mean you can’t show your personality. Check with your local stores and you can find many items that you can creatively incorporate into your apartment.

The recently renovated apartment displays a modern white staircase leading up to the second floor. Here we find a different design style that accentuates the shape of the female body and uses elegant shapes to further deepen the idea of modern elegance. The second floor is home to the two bedrooms, the bathroom and the toilet. An elegant staircase in the main bedroom takes you up to the rooftop terrace for some fresh air. Located in Amsterdam, the two floor apartment is a comfortable and bright living space, created for the enjoyment of its inhabitants.

Bathroom cabinet, the lights and lamps, was decorated with wood to keep the style of the apartment. Let’s see the photos of this apartment below, and hope you inspired for decorating your own living space:

1. Try a round table.
A compact round table usually seats more people than a rectangular one, and it can fit into tight corners. Kens' table (shown in the first photo above) is an extra-space-saving vintage Danish modern Hans Olsen dining set.

2. Make it do double duty.
Fold two (or three) spaces into one — a dining area can easily double as a home office or a craft table.

3. Use a folding table.
In Scott's home a round folding table holds a vase of flowers and helps to establish an "entryway," but it also works as a dining table when you pull up a couple of chairs. Plus, it's collapsible, so he can put it away whenever he needs more open floor space.

4. Mount your dining room to the wall.
Anna of design blog Door Sixteen used an IKEA Norbo table to create a breakfast nook in her kitchen. It folds flat against the wall when not in use.

5. Try an expandable table.
A slide-out or expandable table can seat one or two people when you're eating alone, but make room for four to six when you're having company.

Even though it’s only 80 sqm the apartment make an impression of big studio. It is an open-space where rooms are separated by glass walls and folding doors. Just one button click could make bedroom more private by closing glass windows.

Because the owner don’t afraid dominant red there are a lot of things colored with it: furniture in living room, kitchen furniture, bed and wall above it in bedroom and some other smaller objects. Slim furniture closets are responsible for adding the sense of space to the apartment.
