When I started building apps with Flutter, my UI always looked… okay.
Not bad, not great — just “okay.”

And every time I compared my UI to other apps, I used to wonder:
“Why does their app look clean and polished while mine looks unfinished?”

Turns out, it wasn’t about fancy animations or complicated widgets.
It was the small UI tweaks — the tiny details — that quietly make an app look professional.

Here are some of those little things that made a big difference in my Flutter apps.

1. Stop using pure black and pure white everywhere

When I first started, my entire app was #000000 and #FFFFFF.

Real apps rarely use pure black or white — they use softer tones.

For example:

• Instead of white, use Color(0xFFF8F9FA)
• Instead of black, use Color(0xFF1E1E1E)

These tiny changes make the UI feel modern and less “harsh.”

2. Add small spacing — “breathing room” matters
