Struggling with limited space? Here’s how to make your small flat look stunning and spacious!
In Bangladesh, most city dwellers—especially in Dhaka, Chattogram, and other urban areas—live in apartments that are often under 1000 square feet. While compact living has its own charm, designing such spaces efficiently can be a real challenge. At Dera Interior, we specialize in smart small space interior design in Bangladesh, turning tight areas into functional, stylish, and cozy homes.
Let’s dive into some brilliant space-saving interior design ideas specifically tailored for Bangladeshi apartments.

1. Utilize Vertical Storage & Wall-Mounted Units
Floor space is gold. Don’t waste it.
Go vertical instead of horizontal. Tall wall-mounted cabinets, floating shelves, and hanging racks allow you to use vertical space without making the room feel cluttered.
🔸 Bedroom Tip: Install a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe with sliding doors.
🔸 Living Room Tip: Use wall-mounted TV cabinets with hidden storage.
🔸 Kitchen Tip: Use overhead cabinets and magnetic wall racks for utensils.
This not only adds storage but also keeps the floor area free, giving a sense of openness.
2. Embrace the Open Kitchen Concept
Separate kitchens are outdated for small flats.
An open kitchen creates a continuous flow between the dining and cooking areas, making your home feel more spacious and connected.
✅ Opt for a kitchen island that also serves as a breakfast counter.
✅ Use glass partitions if you still want to separate spaces slightly.
✅ Stick to minimalist designs with clean lines and neutral colors.
Dera Interior often suggests L-shaped kitchen layouts with light-toned cabinetry for a more airy vibe.
3. Foldable & Multipurpose Furniture is a Game-Changer
Every piece of furniture should do more than one job.
Choose furniture that can be folded, expanded, or used in multiple ways:
✔️ Foldable dining tables that disappear when not in use
✔️ Sofa beds that double as guest beds
✔️ Storage ottomans for extra seating and hidden storage
✔️ Wall-mounted study tables for students or remote work
This kind of furniture is perfect for 800–1000 sq. ft. apartments, giving you more functionality with less clutter.
4. Mirror & Lighting Tricks to Open Up the Space
Let there be light—and reflection!
Strategic lighting and mirrors can completely transform how big your space feels.
💡 Use large mirrors on one wall to reflect light and create depth
💡 Install recessed ceiling lights or track lights instead of bulky fixtures
💡 Add under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen for modern elegance
💡 Keep windows unobstructed and use sheer curtains
This creates an illusion of space and ensures every corner is well-lit and lively.
5. Color Scheme Suggestions for Small Rooms
Light colors = Large-looking space.
Stick to light, neutral, and pastel tones for walls and furniture. They reflect more light and make rooms feel airy.
🎨 Popular small-space color combos:
- Off-white & beige
- Grey & light blue
- Mint green & white
- Soft peach with wood textures
Pro Tip: Add pops of color using accessories like cushions, rugs, and artworks—this adds personality without overwhelming the room.
