How To Maximize The Space In A Small Apartment

Living in a small apartment with limited floor space is always a challenge, whether this is your dream home or just a temporary place to stay. Whatever the case is, you’ll want to make the most of what you have. To maximize the usable space in the apartment, you have to be clever when decorating. Here are a few ideas that could help.

Instead of having two single beds placed side by side, put them one on top of the other to save some floor space. Bunk beds are excellent for the kids’ room, leaving enough space for a work station or a cozy sitting area.

Window alcoves.

Don’t waste the space under the stairs. Use it for storage. You can have drawers, hidden doors, shelves and practical compartments in there without compromising the integrity of the staircase.

Bike storage.

In a small apartment there’s hardly ever room for a bike. Don’t leave it in the way. Store it nicely high on the wall. You can build a sturdy storage system yourself.

Folding tables.

Folding tables are extremely useful in small apartments. They can be easily hidden and stored and they can double or triple their surface when unfolded, allowing you to use them for special occasions and large gatherings.

Murphy beds.

Imagine how much space you could have in the bedroom if the bed wasn’t there. You can have all that space and a comfy bed if you choose the right design. Murphy beds are great space-savers.

Furniture on wheels.
