Alask apartments are fun and exciting, but they can also be small and very space restricted.  Getting the furniture that you want into a small space can be a problem.  With a little help, you can make your space seem larger and get the furniture that you need.In small spaces, stay away from dark colors.  The lighter the colors in your space, the larger you space will seem.  You can mix dark colors with light colors, as long as there are more light colors than dark, you will still be able to give the appearance of more space.  This goes beyond paint; the color of your furniture, lamps, tables and even artwork and drapes will either add or take away from the appearance of size.

Using light colored curtains will give you a softer look, while still making the space appear greater.  If you are looking for great way to do this, use pastels, or spring colors to maximize the appearance of size.  Using light colors will help you a lot.

Your furniture is another way you can maximize on space. Arrange your furniture in a way that emphasizes the space within each room, rather than blocking the view or taking away from the perceived space. Moving couches so that they do not block entryways, tables so that they can sit along walls and large furniture into inconspicuous spaces will help you in your endeavors.

Avoiding large furniture in the first place will help you make more out of the space that you do have. Find smaller pieces, loveseats instead of large couches, for example, will give you more real space, as well, rather than only the appearance of more space.
