In a city like Dubai where apartment living is the thing, many people struggle to resonate these apartments as homes. Living in an apartment doesn’t mean sacrificing your style or functionality. With a bit of creativity and research on the latest interior design trends, you can 360 transform your cozy space into a haven of comfort.

Let's have a look at some of the latest interior design trends specifically tailored for maximizing apartment space and creating a stunning aesthetic in apartments.


THE RISE OF LESS IS MORE. A SHIFT FROM MAXIMALISM

In the past few years, there has been a surge in maximalist décor. Though this was overwhelming for apartments, this trend is now shifting to a more curated and edited look, a more of a “less is more” approach. This doesn’t mean your space needs to be empty and stark; all you need to focus is on an intentional selection of furniture and decide on its placement and décor.


FOCUS ON MULTIFUNCTIONAL PIECES

When you are opting for a minimalist approach, look into investing in multiple-purpose furniture. Opt for ottomans with hidden storage compartments for those extra blankets or toys. Get sofa beds that can turn into guest sleeping quarters, or coffee tables with built-in shelves for displaying books and magazines.


EMBRACE MINIMALIST DÉCOR

Don’t hoard unwanted things. Set a day once a month to declutter your apartment. Go for sleek furniture with simple silhouettes and avoid excessive knick-knacks or overly busy patterns. This creates a sense of visual calm and makes your home feel more welcoming and open.


THE POWER OF NEUTRALS WITH POPS OF COLOR

You can't go wrong with neutral color palettes for an apartment. White, beige, and light gray offer a clean slate, reflect natural light and make your home feel airy and expansive. However, adding a dash of color will give your apartment a character.


STRATEGIC USE OF ACCENTS

Adding pops of color to various spaces in your apartment injects life into the four walls. You can do this with bright or color-coded pillows, artwork, statement rugs or a vibrant armchair.


CONSIDER JEWEL TONES

While neutrals will rule the space, jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple are now increasingly popular. These rich colors will add a touch of luxury and drama in smaller doses to apartments.


VERTICAL STORAGE IS KEY

When it comes to apartments, making the most out of space is key. Take advantage of the vertical spaces with floor-to-ceiling shelves and cabinets. This allows you to store belongings efficiently and keep areas clutter-free. Explore cleverly designed, space-saving furniture like foldable dining tables or nesting coffee tables that will offer flexibility depending on your needs.


BIOPHILIC DESIGN. BRINGING THE OUTDOORS IN

When you have limited access to outdoor spaces in your apartment, biophilic design offers a way to connect with nature indoors. The biophilic trend is used to incorporate natural elements and organic shapes to create a sense of peace and well-being in our natural environment.


Apartments can be made into beautiful and cozy spaces to reflect your personality. Tastefully designing your apartments has a big impact on your mood and well-being. A well-designed apartment creates a sense of calm, promotes relaxation, and caters to your lifestyle needs.
