Curate what is on show by selecting meaningful, functional items and limiting clutter in your small apartment to maintain openness. Use the sixty-thirty-ten color plan to unify displayed elements. Invest in built-in or multi-purpose furniture that offers storage with style. Layer lighting to highlight focal points and create warmth. Display objects that reflect your personality but keep surfaces clear to allow breathing room. Thoughtful curation enhances presence and comfort, making your 800 square foot space feel welcoming and truly yours.
