Whether you’ve just moved into a new flat, or if you’re bored with how your current flat is looking, it can be hard to find design inspiration that motivates you to get decorating. Here are ten great interior design ideas to provide some decorating inspiration, and will leave you itching to start redesigning your space! These are some of the flat interior design ideas.
Velvet is in for 2018 in a big way, and looks really elegant in paler tones such as this pastel pink sofa. Experimenting with different tones and textures is important in getting the right balance in your interior decor, and the effect that these wooden wall panels have against the plain but textured sofa exudes elegance and style. Using paler tones as a base for your main pieces of furniture and walls means that you can pull focus to the bolder greens in plants.

Just because your flat is small doesn’t mean you can’t fit amazing lighting! We are loving the glass pendant light trend; the look is simple but effective, and the glass helps to reflect the light and improve the lighting in your space.
Match one of these glass pendants with a vintage-style lightbulb to improve even further how impressive these pendants look as design centerpieces of any room in your flat.

If your flat comes without a fitted wardrobe and you can’t find the space in your room that will fit one, you may be left despairing about the idea of having to use a clothes rail instead.
Make your clothes rail into a design feature of your room by decluttering your wardrobe and displaying your best pieces proudly. This idea is perfect if you are into DIY, as you can combine the rail with shelves to make a statement closet that reflects your personality.

Rugs can totally change the feel of a room: they can make your room feel cosier, darker, lighter or softer.
Choose a rug that is the best size and colour for your space. This is another one of the flat interior design ideas.

Industrial – style decor is set to be a big hit in 2018. This trend features hardy and basic materials such as concrete, steel and wood to create intriguing and stylish home decor.
When decorating the interior of a flat, space is important, so it’s critical to use wall space for shelving in order to display some of your favourite items and as functional storage space.

When decorating, it is easy to shy away from using colour in the fear that you will make your flat feel smaller, or more cluttered. Whilst white walls do have their pros and can make a small flat feel bigger and brighter, don’t be afraid to incorporate colour to bring life and fun to your flat!
If you don’t want to use colour on your walls, consider colourful furniture, or a colourful hanging garland/bunting to bring some colour to your space. This is such a great design idea as you can express yourself and your personality through your use of colour in your interior design!

The great thing about moving into a new flat is the new space, filled with new little features and places to decorate. Or maybe you just need to look at your flat with a different perspective. What are the features that make it unique and how can you use these to create great decor features?
We love how the top of this stairway has been turned into a design feature as a mini succulent garden. This is another one of the flat interior design ideas.
Black may not be a conventional wall colour, and you may think that it will make your room appear too dark. However, this feature wall is bold, but whilst maintaining the minimalist and monochrome decor of the space. As long as your space has the right lighting, painting a black feature wall can be a really interesting and unusual design feature!
If the monochrome look isn’t for you, or if this would make your room too dark, consider trying a pastel colour feature wall.

Patterns are really fun and can totally re-imagine a space in your apartment. However, we can be hesitant to decorate with them, in case we get bored too quickly, or it ends up giving us a headache.
Using removable wallpapers means that you can place a temporary patterned wall feature and keep it for as long as you like! We are loving this palm leaf print for bringing some fresh design into our flat for the summer months. This is another one of the flat interior design ideas.

Everyone has heard of minimalist style, but have you heard of maximalist?
This new trend features a lot of personality in specifically chosen items. This kind of interior design is great if you love to have lots of interesting decor in your flat to look at. Choose carefully selected items that compliment each other and work well as a set to maintain the maximalist theme, rather than leaving your space looking too cluttered. This is another one of the flat interior design ideas.
