Skittles Transformed a Micro-Apartment Into a Maximalist Dream

In September, Skittles announced its “littlest” innovation with Skittles Littles, a teeny, tiny version of its candy that it promises is more “poppable” than before.

“Expanding our portfolio with Skittles Littles allows us to create even more pleasantly perplexing experiences and inspire moments of everyday happiness for fans,” Ro Cheng, the marketing director at Mars, shared at the time. “We can’t wait for our fans to experience this tiny treat and Taste the Rainbow in a whole new way.” Now, not only can fans eat the teensy candies, they can live in an equally adorable micro-apartment inspired by Skittles Littles. For free. For an entire year. 

To honor this new candy addition, Skittles partnered with interior decorator Dani Klarić, known for her love of maximalist design, to transform a micro-apartment in New York City into a “rainbow-filled masterpiece.” And rather than just keep it all for themselves, Skittles is giving the apartment to one very lucky fan to live in rent-free for an entire year. 

“The Skittles Littles Living apartment feels like a small escape from reality with the rainbow colors and maximalist decor,” Klarić shared. “Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to think small when it comes to style. I had so much fun transforming the Skittles Littles Living apartment with bold colors and funky furniture.”  

According to Skittles, the apartment is 353 square feet and is located in Manhattan’s first micro-unit building, Carmel Place. While its square footage may not be huge, its style is. 

In the bathroom, the new tenant will find polka-dotted floors mixed with delightful cloud wallpaper and a trippy shower curtain for added color. The fun flows into the kitchen, made up of rainbow-hued cabinets paired with some surprisingly subdued granite countertops. This opens up into the living room, where a bright green entertainment center faces a deep purple sofa, surrounded by plenty of Skittles-inspired art. 

“Micro in size but maximized in aesthetic and functionality, the apartment makes the most out of every nook and cranny,” Skittles added about the home.
