Cut space for a dining table
He did not need welcome 12. Because, let's face it, many times, it's just you and the cat. Even the dining room the smallest can look great if you choose chairs that you like and a simple table, and set the cool hanging a work of art, as seen here.
Do not flood a small space with too large dining table, though, as this can make it feel smaller. And choose furniture with simple lines for a stylish and clean effect. Here, the white table 'married' with the white wall for a less busy because more spacious.

Keep it simple but chic in a flat micro
studio apartments are often the hardest to live without constantly feeling cramped. This micro London flat is a great lesson on how to make small livable and chic. The open-plan main room includes the dining area, living room and kitchen, but it is clear, bright and skillfully uses a vintage colourway - mustard, lime, orange - to add character and charm. Painting walls a crisp, pure white is obvious, but never fails as a way to make a little more ventilated room.
In a confined space with a lot of traffic, dirty marks can accumulate faster. Keep painting replenished regularly to avoid "slide shabby one too many of us live with.
