2. Thanks to the spate of high-rise developments seen in 2014
in Dubai, more people than ever before are making their
homes in high-rise apartment complexes.
One of the most recently planned developments in Dubai,
for example – the development planned by Hard Rock
International (set for completion in 2015), has more than 100
stories, and all of their residential apartments will be higher
than the 30th floor.
So, with the trend for high-rise cosmopolitan living growing
in Dubai, people have been asking – how do you make the
most of space in a high-rise apartment? Read on and we
offer three top tips on how to create maximise the space
available in a high-rise Dubai apartment.
3. Making rooms merge with outdoor spaces
Chances are, in a high-rise Dubai apartment you will have a
balcony. However, many balconies are self-contained
spaces where brick, and walls can create a feeling of
claustrophobia. You get that feeling of being boxed-in and
you may even have to negotiate a step to gain access to the
outdoor part of the home.
One of the top interior design tips trending in 2014 is the
idea of merging outdoor and indoor spaces, by separating
them with ground to roof reinforced, sliding glass doors or
windows which create a light, airy atmosphere in even the
stuffiest of locations.
This instantly gives the impression that the indoor space is
merged with what is outdoors and hey presto – you have
just added space, value and sophistication to your high-rise
apartment!
4. Use colour wisely and make use of glass
furnishings
The simplest of things can make the biggest differences
when it comes to the creation of space in your high-rise
apartment in Dubai. Choosing a crisp white, or off-white
colour scheme instantly creates the illusion of more space
and air in an apartment.
Placing glass furnishings in a high-rise apartment is a classic
space-saver. The glass table top, or even a glass coffee table
or nest of tables creates the illusion of space but ensures
that practicality and utility are not sacrificed as a result. With
glass furniture – you have the best of both worlds.
5. Innovative interiors
When space is a factor, you have to get innovative with your
interior, and in many cases this means thinking of how you
can use one thing for two purposes.
So, don’t just buy a bed, buy a bed that has a hidden storage
compartment. Don’t just buy a footstool, when you can buy
an ottoman that conceals a handy storage compartment.
There are so many ways to innovate. You can buy folding
items of furniture that you can fold away out of sight when
not in use – a folding storage basket, or a folding guest bed
can add to the space available in an apartment.
You don’t need to have a separate washer and dryer, when
you can buy one machine that does both jobs!
The possibilities to innovate are endless and you can have
fun thinking of how to create the most innovative interior
around!
