Maximizing Small Spaces


Small spaces like lofts and condos can make you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput. And with the population increase, coupled with the decrease in land, living spaces are getting smaller. You can still create the illusion of spaciousness and airiness you want, with some of these tips:

Minimize your clutter. If you don’t use it or need it, sell it, throw it or give it away to charity. You can’t afford to have a lot of things lying around, especially in condos where you have limited storage space.
Don’t buy bulky furniture. Naturally, the less space you have, the smaller your furnishings should be. If you must have that big sofa, make sure that the pieces near it are smaller. Also, buying large furniture means less space to maneuver in.
Install custom or built-in closets or shelves to maximize your space. Use every inch of your space, think outside the box! Installing shelves and wall-hung systems also frees your floor from clutter.
