It’s hard to imagine that this stylish, space-savvy apartment was once a forgotten shell. With just 215 sq ft to work with, every corner needed a purpose (and a serious glow-up).
From chipped wood and dusty carpets to coral accents and elegant fixtures, this tiny apartment proves that with a little creativity, small can still be stunning.
1. Overall Look Before
The entire space felt worn out and unloved. The wood was chipped, the paint was peeling, and everything had that stale, abandoned vibe.
It didn’t feel livable – more like something stuck in time.
2. Overall Look After
Now, it looks like a completely different apartment. Warm wooden panels frame the upper loft area, while a fresh green accent wall adds a playful but calming touch.
The updated staircase and clean finishes give it a bright, modern charm.
3. Bathroom Before
The bathroom was honestly unusable. It was dirty, cramped, and filled with outdated appliances that looked like they hadn’t worked in years.
Just stepping in felt like a chore.
4. Bathroom After
Now, it’s a total sanctuary. A spacious tub and elegant fixtures give it a luxurious spa-like feel, even in such a compact space.
Everything is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed.
5. Kitchen Before
The kitchen was stuck in the past and kind of scary. Old appliances sat unused for what looked like decades, and grime coated almost every surface.
It didn’t feel like somewhere you’d want to make a meal, or even a coffee.
6. Kitchen After
Now, it’s playful and polished. Coral-toned backsplash tiles add a pop of color, while brand-new appliances make the space feel fresh and functional.
It’s small, but seriously cute and functional.
7. Bedroom Before
Upstairs was just an empty loft with sad brown flooring. It felt unfinished, cold, and more like storage than an actual place to sleep.
The lack of light and warmth made it feel forgotten and it had no real purpose.
8. Bedroom After
Now it’s a cozy little retreat. A comfy bed, warm lighting, and clean design make the loft feel like a true hideaway.
It’s the perfect use of vertical space in this tiny apartment.
9. Living Room Before
The living room was just an empty shell, and the fireplace hadn’t been touched in who knows how long.
Everything felt bland and unused and gave off an eerie vibe. It didn’t have a focal point or any inviting features.
10. Living Room After
The transformation is stunning. The fireplace is now painted in crisp white, complemented by a sleek mirror and a minimalist coffee table that grounds the room.
It feels fresh, stylish, and ready to welcome guests.
11. The Entrance Before
The hallway, which blends into the living room and kitchen, was dusty, dim, and just kind of sad.
The floor looked tired, and the walls hadn’t seen a coat of paint in years. It felt like a forgotten part of the space.
12. The Entrance After
With new flooring and a fresh paint job, the hallway finally feels like it belongs.
It’s bright, clean, and makes the whole living area feel more complete while the sleek storage options make it functional as well.
Even a small update made a huge difference in how the space flows.
