Living at The Domino means enjoying stylish apartments designed with both comfort and efficiency in mind. Whether you’re in a cozy one-bedroom or a spacious two-bedroom, smart styling can help you make the most of every square foot. Here are five tips to maximize your space while keeping your apartment modern and inviting.
Choose Multi-Functional Furniture
Opt for pieces that do double duty—like a storage ottoman that works as a coffee table, a small table that functions as a desk and a dining area, or a bed with built-in drawers underneath. These pieces keep your home clutter-free without sacrificing style.
Go Vertical!
Your high ceilings in your Broad Ripple apartment mean you have LOTS of room to go up! Take advantage of wall space with floating shelves, tall bookcases, or wall-mounted hooks. Vertical storage draws the eye upward, makes your apartment feel larger, and keeps everyday items within easy reach. This tip also applies to hanging curtains. Many people hang curtains right at window height...the higher you hang them, the bigger your space will feel!
Lighten Up with Mirrors
Mirrors aren’t just decorative—they reflect natural light and create the illusion of a bigger space. Try a large round mirror in your entryway or living room, or add a floor mirror to your bedroom or walk-in closet.
Layer Your Lighting
Instead of relying solely on overhead fixtures, playing with lighting to add depth and warmth to your space. Add floor lamps to your living room or bedroom, large table lamps to your bedside table or entryway, small accent lamps to your kitchen counters for a cozy glow, and string lights to your balcony to create warmth and dimension. A well-lit apartment feels more welcoming and a little bit larger, too.
Keep it Cohesive
Does your apartment style feel like it's all over the place? Do you drool over other people's homes but feel stuck with how to make yours shine? One way to create a dreamy place you love is sticking to a streamlined color palette. Not sure what colors work best for you? Check out your wardobe! Do you love mostly neutrals with some pops of color? Your place should follow suit. Are you a fan of greens and blues, or do you dream in pastel? Choose 4-5 colors and reflect them throughout your space. This will make your apartment feel like it was curated by a designer when really, you became a pro yourself!
