1. Make use of floor space by reducing litter
When you are already working with limited space, one thing you surely cannot afford is a reduction in the existing floor space. That is exactly why usage of furniture with less leg space - that can be finely fitted on to the walls, is a very good option. The result? Free movement across your home instead of a congested space.
2. Concentrate and plan around a central focal point
Just like we need a heart to function, every room needs to have its own heart. Once you figure out the focal point of your room, you can expand outward with your decorating. This will make your interiors look spacious and larger than they really are. Planning is the obvious key here.
3. Donate, sell or discard stuff that is not useful
An already small space cannot afford the luxury of acting as a home to unwanted furniture. Therefore get rid of everything you won’t be using anymore, because there’s no point of stuffing it in a storage space or a cabinet.
4. Storage space below the roof?
It’s a common practice in many houses. Just use the air space “above your head” and create a pretty large storage space for your stuff. It may cost you to renovate the attic but it’s worth it.
5. Modern plastic furniture and folding shelves
Modern furniture makers like IKEA always have a handy model that will help create an extra storage space on corridors or hallways. They look attractive, stylish, and sleek and no one will ever know that you are actually storing all kinds of crap in them. Smart and easy to install, there are many such options available in the market today. All you need to do is go out and look.
6. Multi-purpose furniture and multi-functional designs
If you are willing to invest a tad bit more than the usual amount, then stuff such as couches that double up as beds, beds that fold up into closets and even dining tables that can be pulled out of cupboards, are available in the market. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot adapt the same solutions to your interiors whenever and wherever they fit in appropriately.
7. Even the walls offer storage options
What most individuals tend to overlook is the fact that even the walls offer a great way of expanding their storage options. They are real handy alternatives when it comes to stacking things up, and that’s mostly true when it comes to kitchen. You can hang cabinets, hooks and even some stick-ons that will make your room look cool.
8. Add extra shelves in closets of bedrooms and create specialized spaces
Instead of having one giant long cabinet in the bedroom, you can split it up into smaller sections. This also helps out in designating and using these areas for specified tasks. Once you categorize stuff and organize it that way, you will realize that things become a lot less complicated and messy.
9. Make your bathroom more ergonomic and stylish at the same time
When it comes to re-decorating their interiors in an attempt to eek out more out of what is on offer, it’s amazing how most people just forget about the bathroom as a separate and important entity. Add curtains, a stylish and compact bathtub, a few shelves and you will realize that you have very easily transformed it into a modern hub that offers plenty of storage space.
10. Bring in the stacking stands, racks and bulletin boards
If you wish to clean up your home of all the mess then you need a place where you can keep the stuff that you are bound to use occasionally. This is where stuff like stacking stands and racks come in. You can place a few of these in the corridors and they will look both cool and ergonomic. A bulletin board can help you get rid of the many papers flying around and let’s face it; even the eco-conscious will love it!.
Maximizing space is something that depends purely on the creativity and the imagination of those who live in a particular home. The same available area can be used differently by differently individuals. All you need to do is find the right way to cut down on the unnecessary without compromising on your basic needs. Start to think out of the box and you will find many more such simple solutions.
