Do you have a small space in your home that you’re unsure what to do with? Or is your cramped apartment forcing you to be creative in your living arrangements?
Make your small room or living area fit your needs with clever solutions that will maximize your space.
Paint can do wonders : Choosing the right paint color for your small room can instantly give the impression of more space or emphasize its cozy feel. Traditional neutrals like whites, creams and light grays are a great choice because they provide a clean and streamlined look, while making the room look brighter and more expansive. Painting the ceiling white to draw eyes upward is an easy way to create visual openness overhead. You’ll have an airy and inviting space in no time!
Savvy storage : With tight spaces, there isn’t always room for all the storage needed for belongings, clothing, office supplies and more. By incorporating creative and flexible storage solutions, you can easily keep clutter out of sight, while still keeping everything you need handy. Don’t forget about the uncommon spaces like ceilings for hanging items like bicycles out of the way, or adding shelving high up in closets for rarely used items.
Multi-tasking furniture : When you have limited floor space, it’s important to make your furniture work double duty. Choose pieces that have hidden storage and multiple functions, or can be compacted and stored when not in use. Using modular pieces that can serve different purposes or fold out of the way frees up room to make your space comfortable and livable for you and your guests.
Limited square footage doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice function and style. Small space living is a great way to live a simplified life. With creative thinking, you can go from a cluttered, cramped mess to an organized and inviting space with room for all.
