Still can't decorate a small apartment - what am i doing wrong?

Fewer, bigger things usually works better than lots of small ones in a small flat. Some that make a real difference: - one rug large enough for the front legs of the furniture to sit on it - curtains hung high and wide of the window, it makes the window look bigger - a big mirror across from or next to the light source - furniture on legs, seeing floor underneath makes the room read larger - lamps at a few heights rather than one ceiling light - stick to two or three colours And storage that goes up rather than out.
