Small One Room Apartment Interior Design Inspiration
Last week I was in Bucharest to meet a few people that I knew from the internet. We spoke for a long time online but we never saw each other in real life, and I’ve decided that right now I could go to visit Bucharest and meet a few of my “digital friends“. Now to avoid paying between 50 - 100 euro/night to stay at a hotel a good friend of mine ( Adi ) took me to his little one room apartment, and how I have a blog about architecture, interior design, furniture, etc …I’ve decided to take some pictures, because I really liked how Adi made that small place look really good. Now let’s take a look at this small one room apartment, that is a great example of how you can make a small apartment look really good.
At night these red lights make a very romantic and calming atmosphere.
Here you can see the bed and a small part of the kitchen …yes I know is very small.

10 Tips to Make a Small Bedroom Feel Larger
Your bedroom is the one room in the house that should feel like no other. Relaxation and unwinding from a stressful day should be a regular occurrence in your bedroom What if you feel like your bedroom is too small to feel relaxed in? The size of your bedroom has you puzzled as to decorating, organizing and maximizing its small nature. Your bedroom can be all you dream of with some simple ideas and tips. If you are a small bedroom owner let’s look at t 10 tips to bring relaxing, big space ideas back into your small sanctuary.
2.) Buy furniture that maximizes wall space: Shopping for furniture can be a challenge when you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. In small bedrooms measure out the amount of wall space you have, and how much room the furniture can project from the walls. Opt for rectilinear furniture as opposed to curved. Curved furniture tends to take up more space and will swallow up your walking area to get past your furniture. Wall hung night stands are a great option to maximize the floor footprint in your bedroom as well.
3.) Scale your décor by the size of your bed: Depending on the size of your bedroom, your bed will most likely be the focal point. If you have a large bed in a small room, you will instantly feel cramped and uncomfortable. Consider having a smaller bed, and size your table lamps and decorations in the same proportions. If you are going through the effort and scaling down the bed, so should the accessories that surround the room.
5.) A reading ‘nook’ will make your room relaxing: A misconception about having a small bedroom is that you can only sleep, change clothes and leave out the room. This is not true. Put a small chair and lamp in your bedroom, and you instantly have a reading nook. When you can have multifunctional areas in your small bedroom you will want to spend more time in the space. Add a sconce to either side of the bed to make reading in bed more enjoyable and relaxing.
6.) Choose dressers and armoires that are appropriate for your room size: One of the quickest ways to make your room feel small is to have furniture pieces that are too large for the space. Choose 2 or 3 mandatory pieces of furniture and scale appropriately to the room. Think of using a armoire to hold clothes and a television to eliminate a large dresser and entertainment center. The more functions you can condense, the larger your room will feel.
8.) To have or not to have a television? Having a TV in your bedroom is based on personal preference. If you decide to have a TV consider a flat screen type that can be mounted on the wall, or will take up minimal space on a dresser. For those that choose not to have a TV – a stereo can also take up considerable space. Opt for using MP3 stereos that connect to your MP3 and eliminates large, clunky stereo units.
9.) Choose your colors wisely: Dark colors in an already small room can make your bedroom feel like a cave. If you like dark colors, use them in accessories like throw pillows, area rugs, and accents in drapery and bed linen. Consider using lighter colors on the walls, and ceiling to open up the space visually. Bring in natural light as much as possible to illuminate the space and your mood.
10.) Create a focal point: If you have a fantastic piece of artwork place it above the bed and draw the eye away from the rest of the room. If you aren’t too pleased with your bed but have an antique dresser that looks great, add a colorful vase to adorn the top. Use your imagination to accentuate the positive about your room and remove emphasis from the small nature of your bedroom.
A small bedroom can be a challenge but it can also feel cozy and unique once you decorate it. Use these 10 tips to make your bedroom feel larger and to make the most of the space you do have. Incorporate these ideas in other bedrooms in your home and see how your rooms will instantly feel more lived in, as opposed to feeling cold and unlivable.

Superhero Lifestyle: The House of Iron Man
Iron Man 2 continues the adventures of billionaire Tony Stark and his superhero alter ego Iron Man. The main character is played by Robert Downey Jr. and the whole movie features amazing effects and state-of-the-art technology. But the home of the character is by far the most interesting aspect of the movie- from our point of view at least. This may come as a huge disappointment to some of our readers, but what you see in the photos below is digitized fiction. Jon Favreau, the director of the film explains that the home was falsely positioned on a site in Malibu. It is forbidden to build an architecture project there, so they came up with a different solution: computer graphics. The interiors were built on a sound-stage area in Los Angeles and everything was synchronized with the computer plans. When I’ve saw the movie the house was so real but it seems that movies can trick us very easily ..like this one did. -viaHome-Designing

Cool Bathroom Shelf and Towel Hanger, Milan 2010
As we already stated, Milan Furniture Fair was full of ideas that we so eagerly captured. Here is a really cool alternative for a bathroom mirror. Occupying the same amount of space, but with a lot more functionality, this bathroom shelf can also become a towel or clothes hanger when needed. So simple and yet with a daring practicability, the hanger also features a mirror and a storage place for perfumes and other small accessories. Its white finish makes it perfect for any modern bathroom, big or small. Still, we think a smaller version would have even more success. What do you think of this design? Do you find it to be practical or a bit exaggerated ?

Modern Interior Design Decoration Armani
Joy was kind enough to introduce me to John who said he couldn't be happier in his new apartment. Since he does travel so much, he wanted to create a more "zen" home where he would have five pairs of black pants, five black shirts, five white tees, etc. I had to joke with him about how long that could last since New York makes you want to collect things and we agreed that he might need to get a storage space. Then I was elbowed out of the way by two blond girls who wanted to have their photo taken with him and that was the end of that conversation.
