Maximizing Your Apartment Space

Get the most out of your space (big or small) with these tips.

  • Include Multifunctional Furniture – Opt for foldable furniture or pieces that have multiple purposes such as an ottoman that doubles as storage, a bookshelf that visually divides the room, or a kitchen island that gives you extra cabinet space.
  • Look UpTake advantage of high spaces. Buying bookshelves and cabinets that extend to the ceiling will give you more room.  In addition, you can install high-mounted shelves over furniture, toilets and doors to create more storage room.
  • Be Smart – A smart tv can simplify your life and take the place of your DVD player, cable box and Apple TV.
  • Add Space – Place mirrors around your apartment to give the illusion of a larger living space.
  • Paint It – Paint your walls white to make your place brighter and help your furniture stand out. White or lighter colored paints also trick the eye to make areas appear wider.
  • Keep Organized – Dedicate a spot for everything you own, it will help keep non-essential items off counters and tables, making your apartment look less cluttered and more spacious.
