Apartment dwellers may not have room for big roll top desks or fancy l-shaped workstations. How can you best make use of your tiny space if you need to do some work at home? Read on for some super ways to make a couch into a desk and a living room into an office!

Decorating any apartment room can be difficult due to size constraints, but the living room poses a special challenge. It’s traditionally supposed to house giant furniture—a ten-section couch, a big-screen TV, large lamps, overstuffed armchairs, and long empty tables. You probably don’t want to carry these types of items up four floors to your apartment, and you probably wouldn’t have space for them once they got there, anyway. This article contains snazzy ideas for dressing up your small living room without using hulking behemoths for furniture items.

Colors: they’re a huge part of life, and everyone has a favorite one, but you probably consider size or style over color when decorating. Well, it’s time to reorganize your priorities and move color higher on the list. Color has a huge effect on mood and is a great way to express your individuality. Not only that, color is easier to change than the length of a table or the size of a sofa. Slipcovers, paint, wallpaper, and colorful accents can do wonders to brighten up or change the look of your apartment. Read on to learn what colors best suit you and how you can use them to decorate your home.
