Now, of course this isn’t something that you can necessarily change straight away, or change at all with most properties, but there are some measures that you can take to ensure that you’re making the most of the space that your property does have, however limited.
Nowadays, in city-centre apartments and flats that are surging in demand, the location often comes at the expense of room, and so corners have to be cut to accommodate the tighter, more confined spaces. Struggling for space in your property, and looking for some affordable ways to make the most of what you’ve got? Here are some quickfire steps that you might want to try:
Modular Furniture:
storage and shelving units in compact spaces can often do more harm than good when trying to organise a home, encroaching on the floor space. To combat this, you might want to invest in some efficient, space-saving furniture, shelves etc., which allow you to store things in them in imaginative ways.
This sort of furniture design is popular among city-centre apartments and flats, particularly those largely tenanted by students or young professionals that need a productive space. For inspiration, examples of these apartment types include Liverpool’s Poets Place and City Point, offered by property investment company RWinvest.
Cutting Back And Going ‘Minimalist’:
If all else fails, taking a step back and really looking at what you do and don’t need in your apartment might help to clear space. A lot of the time you’ll find that apartments and homes – particularly those that have been lived-in for a while – will accumulate a lot of clutter and excessive, overbearing furniture that’s unnecessary. Rather than buying new furniture and decorations to revamp, opting for a popular minimalist approach might be more effective, and it could even save you some money in the process.
