Creativity may conquer time and space, as what happen in this very narrow apartment design under the attic by Queeste Architecten in hague, Netherlands.

Although narrow, the use of the space is truly effective and made possible. I actually think that this design will be much better when applied in space a bit extensive and not with the sloping walls :)

They paint the entire wall with white color to make it looks wider. Indeed, then it become visually wider. With total area of 30 square meters, with sloping roof... This apartment is completed with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and some other feature like sofa room. Used for lodging for 2 people, with complete facilities like a good hotel room. All colors are dominated by white and black colors that give modern impression, with the exception of orange colored custom sofa.

So if you have a small house, for example, 36 square meters, we can be sure that it may appear wider, visually with the right design.

To decorate small room, we must consider some aspects. First, we should choose from bright color, and not choosing dark color because it will make your room more narrow. Bright colors may be pastel colors, white. Then, we should select simple and unsolid furniture. Small furniture is good and will not take so much space, visually and literally.

For example, select lamp that stands in vertical appearance, furniture with high feet, etc. Also, choose furniture with slim shapes, like using slim wood or metal, and pick the one with simple design that fit the house character.

Apply this for every furniture inside your small room, like the cupboard, locker or bed that does not need so much room. If you like plants, choose plants that have tall appearance. In choosing furniture we should also select furniture that has multifunctionality as well as correspond to basic requirement.

By doing this, we should have made our small room looks a bit wider.
