Comments (0)Hi Houzz members, I'd like to get some ideas on how I would be able to make my small apartment look bigger. I live in Singapore, space is a precious commodity here, and many people live in high rise buildings which are quite small in area (not as bad as Hong Kong though). My friends suggested to use light colours for the house and also mirrors, what do you all think? I'm also going to get some furniture from IKEA http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/, any ideas on space saving furniture? Thank you!...See MorePls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this
Comments (13)Hi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible. If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear. Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom....See MoreSingaporean Houzzer? Say Hi!

Another trick is to make a bold statement with everyday objects :

7 years agoLiving in small apartment is fun and you really have to be like what Andrew said, you cannot afford to be a hoarder. Doing up the space may not need to spend money. My little bedroom is warm and cosy, Mozzie net from Ikea cost next to nothing but makes a huge difference. Don't forget the plants, they are cheap but makes you feel like you are living in the great outdoors. Lightings are important for mood setting too. Have fun exploring the possibilities.
