With characterless residential buildings popping up from coast to coast, Décor Aid decorators are often tasked with adding a sense of personality and warmth to otherwise bland, generic apartments such as this weekend getaway in the heart of San Francisco. Unlike other small apartment interior design projects, our client was fortunate enough to have a main residence, allowing our designer to focus almost entirely on aesthetics and comfort rather than solutions to fit the most one can in the space.

Looking to add a fresh, relaxed feel quickly for her monthly visits to the Bay Area, our client’s major concern was to tackle the space’s lack of character and comfort room by room with a decidedly contemporary spirit.

After selecting finishes for the small apartment interior design, Dècor Aid designer Mandy M. took advantage of the spaces’s sparse light-drenched rooms by punctuating the original white and gray color palette with bold yet soothing accents of color in an array of blues, for a sense of depth and attitude.

Since the apartment was on the smaller side, our designer cleverly incorporated a series of the same elements in each room to tie everything together for consistency including marble accents and finishes, sleek chrome floor lamps, and consoles and desks boasting slim bases for an almost transparent look to avoid adding visual weight in each room.

In what was originally a dull space, the result has a crisp, pulled together vibe loaded with texture, soothing hues and the sense of personality our client was hoping for when considering the best small apartment interior design for her space.
