In every home, there are spaces that need to be properly utilized. Regardless of how small the living spaces in an apartment is or how large a stand-alone home is, we all strive to see our homes as a place that can welcome us with warmth and comfort.
To create a space, you can feel comfortable living in, it’s important to invest some time and effort into understanding even your most confined of spaces.
Here are the 5 tips that would maximize the space in key areas of your home:
Entryway
One of the first things people see when they enter your home is your entryway. Having a functional space where guests can take off their shoes and where your kids can quickly place their backpacks or jackets when rushing to get out the door for school will help enhance the look of your space at large for all kinds of living situations. What if you don’t have room for an organized rack or bench? No problem! Ensure you have wall-mounted hooks, open shelving where knick-knacks can be placed and a large mirror that reflects the rest of your decor to make up all the difference instead!
Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of your home. It must be functional, hospitable and appealing enough to provide a space for you to prepare meals and snacks for your family. Maximize space with standing storage racks in your pantry and use drawer organizers on tracks for dry goods and food storage containers. You can also install overhead shelves for pots to free up counter space below the unit.
Bathroom
The first room you see when you wake up in the morning and the last one in sight before bed often has the worst storage situation. But with a little patience and organization, you can turn this cramped bathroom into something that helps to keep your family sanitized more efficiently. For example, shared bathrooms with children will be able to utilize open shelves for soap, shampoo, and lotion containers that are within each person’s reach. In addition, baskets underneath sink areas as well behind doors can house beauty appliances when not in use such as curling irons or blow dryers. An over-the-door shoe organizer becomes revolutionary in holding makeup, combs & brushes, jewellery and even accessories such as scarves and belts!
Bedroom
Every bedroom in your home should be a sanctuary and a place where you feel at peace – so make it special. If you are feeling like your space is starting to feel stale, consider investing in some functional storage solutions to maximize the amount of storage you have available. Every closet needs functional organization!
Kids’ room
No matter what’s your child’s/children age is, it’s important that their bedrooms reflect their dreams and hobbies. To get this right, a great way to start off would be to create some zoned areas for doing different activities like sleeping or studying for example. Maximize the use of space by hanging artwork and assignments on bulletin boards or in frames to keep desks and surrounding spaces free from clutter.
Final word
Maximizing space in a home is a great way to enhance the value of your home and make it feel friendlier. Ultimately, your home should reflect your personality. With that in mind, there are many things you can do to make it feel less cramped and more uniquely yours. The key is exploring different options until you find the ones that work for you. So what are you waiting for? Get planning!
