We moved in to our little apartment about 2 months ago. At first I didn't like it at all. It was a bit of a sudden move but it is right by the water so it did have that going for it regardless of it's size. It's pretty small but already had character from the moment we moved in. The kitchen counters are tiled in yellow and black and the bathroom shower is also tiled in yellow. It was pretty clear that we should embrace the yellow already given to us.
I really love how accented neutrals look in a room so I used yellow as my accent with gray,black, white, and cream. I added a floral fabrics over the side tables and then framed the same fabric on the wall. Since the apartment is so small we kept the furniture against the walls and used furniture with legs to show more floor space. Lastly, we added a large scale mirror above the sofa to add depth to the room.
Overall, I don't think I've ever been happier with the living room space of any of our apartments. This is our smallest apartment so far and it almost feels like our largest one.
We are content with our living space and I can now put the other color accent pillows and accessories in storage......at least for now ;)
and yes, that's my husband's surfboard in the corner, it had to go somewhere :)
