A modern home is often a lot smaller than its traditional counterpart and therefore requires more intervention when it comes to creating space. In this edition of homify we take a look at 6 small apartments that may be compact in size, but they’re big on space saving tips that our team of interior designers are letting you in on today.

1. Niche space

This petite modern apartment sees a few simple niches acting as extra space. The kitchen fits perfectly into the home without impacting on walking space or décor.

The bedroom is located in another niche and shelves add simple storage above the bed.

2. The platform game

Walls limit the look of space in a small home, while platforms are an excellent choice to enhance a spacious looking interior, it’s like designating areas in the home to serve different functions and is great for a studio apartment.

The platform serves as extra slide out storage for those items that you don’t always need.

3. Railed door

Sliding doors are an excellent choice for a tiny living space as they don’t take up any extra centimetres when open, giving a home a loft-like feeling.
