Small Living: Unleashing Your Ingenuity

Studies prove that living in a small apartment sharpens anyone's imagination and creativity. By arranging, organizing, and making the most of every available space, it allows you to get the most out of every square meter of your apartment. It might seem an impossible mission, but it is not! We bring you some tips on how to manage small spaces effectively

Organize

The key to maximizing spaces within your house is good organization, cleanliness, and order. Utilize boxes and baskets for storage and say NO to hoarding objects.

Think Vertical

Maximize the walls! Incorporate vertical storage. Opt for full-height wardrobes in your room and store seasonal clothes, suitcases, and blankets on the top. A similar approach can be applied in the kitchen, with full-height cupboards for storing seldom-used items.

Add Shelves

Adding floating shelves to empty walls is an economical, easy-to-install solution that greatly enhances their functionality.

Look Under the Bed

There are bed models designed with built-in storage, providing additional wardrobes (hydraulic beds, with drawers or built-in storage boxes).

You Don't Need Walls to Divide

If your apartment has an open floor plan, divide it into different sections by incorporating a full-height or medium-height cupboard for effective privacy and extra storage space. Alternatively, a change of color, materials, furniture arrangement, or even use of rugs can help delimit the spaces.

Avoid Saturating Space

To make a small apartment appear more spacious, careful selection of furniture is crucial, and it should not be overcrowded with decorations.

Use Unthought-of Spaces

Corridors, under the stairs, awkward and unused corners are ideal areas for your imagination to work.

We've proposed several tips for you to consider when trying to optimize and enhance spaces in your apartment. You can start applying many of them from now on, but be careful, it is not necessary to apply all at once. Look for options that best suit your needs.
