Top 10 tiniest apartments and their cleverly organized interiors

Small apartments are always problematic in terms of interior décor. There’s just not enough space for everything you want to include there and you have to find solutions for these problems. There is no perfect solution but some of them are really clever and simple. Let’s take a look at 10 of the smallest apartments we could find and see how their owners managed to decorate them.

1. 16 sq ft apartment in Hong Kong.

When you think of a tiny apartment you imagine something small but not as small as this one. This apartment measures only 16 square feet and it’s the smallest one of our list. The entrance leads you directly in bed. However, the small space is exploited 100%. The apartment, resembling a closet rather than a home, is beautifully decorated with modern artwork and several minimalist decorations. The window is one of the best features and, in order to save space, it doubles as a desk. It seems like an extreme situation but it could be everything a busy person needs.

2. 78 sq ft apartment in Manhattan.

It would seem odd for an architect who spends most of his time designing spacious homes to live in a tiny apartment like this one. Nevertheless, this is what Luke Clark Tyler calls home. He used to live in a 96 sq ft space but decided to downsize, moving in here. The architect designed and built all the furniture. This way he was able to use every inch of the space and to make the most out of this apartment. The apartment has high ceilings and is decorated with a bed, a desk, a small refrigerator and a microwave. The bad news is that there’s no private bathroom.{found on Fair Companies and pics by Luke Clark Tyler}.

3. 90 sq ft Manhattan microstudio.

This place is a microstudio, meaning that it’s in fact a very small studio, as if a regular one wasn’t small enough. It measures 90 square feet and it’s located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It’s a very cozy space but, in order to save space, the bed sits on an elevated platform very close to the ceiling. The bathroom is very tiny and not very comfortable either. Nevertheless, the apartment is cleverly organized and it’s extremely cozy.{found on Faircompanies}.

In order to save even more space, furniture pieces such as the table and the sofa first have to be assembled in order to be used. This ensures a very dynamic atmosphere. The apartment has a full kitchen and plenty of storage space. It might be small, but its owner found a new way of decorating it according to his style.{found on Christian Schallert and Fair Companies}.
